Former college player focused on disciplined & game-ready development
I am a former college and professional football player with coaching experience at the youth, high school, and collegiate levels. My approach focuses on developing fundamentally sound, disciplined athletes who understand the game, execute with purpose, and compete with confidence. I emphasize position-specific skill development, film study, football IQ, and mental toughness while holding athletes accountable to high standards. My training is structured, efficient, and tailored to each athlete’s goals, whether that is skill refinement, preparation for the next level, or building consistency and confidence on the field. I pride myself on clear communication, measurable progress, and preparing athletes to perform when it matters most.

Get to know Coach Nick
About Me:
I am a husband and father of two boys, one age two and one age ten. Family, discipline, and accountability are central to how I live and coach. I currently serve as the President of a competitive youth tackle football organization, where I oversee program development, coaching standards, and athlete growth. My background as both a player and coach it allows me to connect with athletes at every stage and help them develop confidence, consistency, and a strong work ethic on and off the field.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help athletes improve through detailed fundamentals, position-specific skill development, and game-speed execution. My focus is on technique, football IQ, and mental toughness. I break the game down, so athletes understand why they are doing something, not just how. Training is tailored to the athlete’s age, position, and goals, whether that is skill development, confidence building, or preparation for higher levels of competition.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Sessions begin with a structured warm-up and movement prep, followed by fundamentals and position-specific drills. We progress into competitive, game-speed reps that emphasize technique, decision-making, and conditioning. I coach with clear instruction, immediate feedback, and high expectations. Sessions finish with reinforcement of lessons learned and areas to focus on outside of training.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I played football at the high school and collegiate levels and continued my career beyond college by signing with an agent with the goal of playing professionally in the CFL. Following my playing career, I transitioned into coaching, working with athletes at the youth, high school, and collegiate levels. I have held leadership roles including Recruiting Coordinator and currently serve as President of a youth tackle football organization, focusing on long-term athlete development and program excellence.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Coach Carter. He set high standards, demanded accountability, and taught the importance of discipline, preparation, and character. His influence shaped how I approach leadership and coaching today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I coach with honesty, structure, and high standards. I care deeply about athlete development, safety, and character. I will push athletes to be better, but I will also support them and communicate clearly with parents. My goal is to help athletes grow not just as players, but as disciplined, confident young men who understand commitment and responsibility.

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
