Get to know Coach Nicholas
About Me:
Dedicated and passionate soccer coach and player with over 20 years of playing experience. Played at the collegiate level and Semi -pro UPSL division.A proven leader and mentor, with a track record of guiding players to reach their full potential through one-on-one training and team development. Eager to leverage my extensive knowledge of the game, leadership abilities, and strategic mindset to inspire and develop athletes of all ages.
How I can help you improve your game:
To improve in soccer, it's essential to focus on key areas: technical skills (like dribbling, passing, and shooting), physical conditioning (strength, agility, and endurance), and game awareness (positioning, decision-making, and reading the game). Regular practice, combined with working on specific weaknesses, is crucial. Additionally, playing in different game situations, watching top-level games to understand tactics.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical personal soccer training session begins with a 10-15 minute warm-up, including dynamic stretches, light jogging, agility drills, and ball control exercises. This is followed by 20-30 minutes of technical drills like dribbling, passing, and shooting to improve ball-handling skills. Tactical and positional play comes next, focusing on game simulation drills tailored to the player's position. Fitness and conditioning, such as sprints, endurance runs, and strength training, are integrated to build stamina and power. The session concludes with a 5-10 minute cool-down involving static stretching and recovery.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Mainly personal training both boys and girls working on specified position and technique to evolve skills offensively, defensively and ability to control the ball better. Being the captain of a team also gave me leadership in a way to influence my teammates to level up and accelerate development and build confidence on the field themselves.
Best coach I ever had:
My college coach was my best coach because he didn't mess around and told me everything I was doing wrong and what I can do to be better as well as disciplined the team if it wasn't up to his standards.That helped me understand to always be on point , hustle, and be the best every time I step on the field.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I revolve around soccer and I am happy anytime I am given the opportunity to share my knowledge of the sports to the next generation or to anyone just wanting to enjoy the beautiful game. Ive played soccer all my life so I have a very strong understanding of the game to have been through many situations especially the pressure that comes with a championship game. I have patience and will adjust my coaching style to best suit the player I am training with.

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!
