Get to know Coach Nick
About Me:
I played football since I was 5 years old and was able to accomplish a lot. I am most proud of a few things: playing Division 1 football at Wagner College, having Division 1 offers at multiple positions (Safety and Running Back), being a two year captain in high school, and making all-state team honorable mention once/ being all county (Broward) three years and at two positions.
How I can help you improve your game:
I know the techniques required of every position and how to properly build from the ground up what coaches at the highest levels are looking to see. I combine that with my knowledge of training to make sure we are preparing the body for the demands of the sport safely.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Typical sessions are going to be dependent on the individual needs of the athlete. The first session will always be an assessment of multiple factors that lead to performance and a conversation about goals both short term and long term. From there I can program sessions that will take you from where you are to where you want to be!
Career summary and accomplishments:
I am a full time Strength and Conditioning coach. I have my Master's degree in Exercise Physiology and I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (the highest standard certification for training). I worked at a High School for 8 years and interned at Florida Atlantic University for 1 year. Now I do private training out of Empowered Athletics. I also coached football for the 8 years at the High School level. In that time I was the assistant defensive coordinator, special teams coordinator, DBs coach, RBs coach, and WR coach at the varsity level. I was also the JV head coach and defensive coordinator. I also coach track for 2 seasons, working with sprinters and hurdlers.
Best coach I ever had:
I was very fortunate to be surrounded by many amazing coaches throughout my life, but my HS coach became family to me. He was there to push me every step of the was for my 4 years of high school because he saw potential in me that not everyone else did. He was also the person who gave me my start in coaching. I was unsure of what I wanted to do in life and he brought me under his wing and started me on the path that I am on today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I don't take the title of Coach lightly! I dedicate everything I have to push athletes from where they are to where they want to be. And along the way I want to help them become better equipped for any adversity they may face in life, outside of sport.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
