More About Coach Nicholas

I have been coaching for over four years and have been in private and group lessons for two years. I have coached at a Division three school level at The State University of Oneonta, where I was an assistant coach. I have currently been coaching at the Sound Beach Soccer Club for about two years. I have three total teams in all different age groups: 2008 boys, 2012 girls, and 2013 girls. I am willing to work with any age group from ages 6-18.

I played at the Varsity level for three years in high school at Sachem North in Lake Ronkonkoma. During my three years at the varsity level, I was awarded All-County, All-All-Conference, All-League, Scholar Athlete, and Most Outstanding Offensive Player awards. I ended up receiving a full scholarship for soccer at Dowling College. Unfortunately, Dowling College closed after my freshman year. It closed in the late summer, so I went to play at Suffolk Community College where we made it to a regional final. After my one year at Suffolk, I then went on to play at The State University of New York at Oneonta. During my time at Oneonta, I was awarded the All-Tournament Team award for our conference tournament.

My sessions typically start with a passing or dibbling technical warm-up to get the player's legs moving. Every few minutes, the technical warm-up will get a little more challenging. I am a big believer in mastering your technical skills as a soccer player which is a big focus during my private lessons. I also base a lot of my training sessions on an area the player needs to focus on or the specific position they play on their teams. I will work on anything from passing, dribbling, first touches, shooting and defending, as well as anything else they may need to work on. This will be the chunk of the private lesson. We can focus on one skill or multiple during each session.

Client Reviews

Nick was great!! My daughter loved working with him!!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring a private soccer coach for my 8-year-old son, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the exceptional training and guidance provided by Coach Nick. From the very first session, it was evident that we had made the right choice. Coach Nick possesses an incredible set of coaching skills that make him stand out among his peers. His ability to connect with young athletes is truly remarkable. He establishes a positive and nurturing environment that encourages my son to develop his skills and enjoy the game. Coach Nick has a genuine passion for soccer and a natural talent for teaching, which translates into effective and engaging training sessions. One of the most impressive aspects of Coach Nick’s coaching style is his attention to detail. He evaluates my son's strengths and weaknesses and tailors the training sessions accordingly. He focuses on improving technique, agility, and game intelligence, while also fostering a love for the sport. Coach Nick has a structured approach that ensures my son progresses consistently and builds a solid foundation in soccer. Moreover, Coach Nick possesses excellent communication skills. He explains drills and concepts in a clear and concise manner, ensuring my son understands the objectives and instructions. He is patient and supportive, always taking the time to provide constructive feedback and encouragement. This positive reinforcement has significantly boosted my son's confidence both on and off the field. Coach Nick goes above and beyond by incorporating fun and interactive activities into the training sessions. He understands the importance of keeping young athletes engaged and motivated. My son looks forward to every session with Coach Nick and has developed a genuine love for soccer under his guidance. Additionally, Coach Nick exhibits a high level of professionalism and reliability. He is punctual, organized, and well-prepared for each session. He is also responsive to any questions or concerns I have, ensuring open lines of communication. In summary, if you're looking for a private soccer coach for your young athlete, I highly recommend Coach Nick. His expertise, passion, and dedication make him an outstanding choice. Thanks to Coach Nick's guidance, my son's skills have improved significantly, and his love for the game has grown tremendously. We are grateful to have found such an exceptional coach who genuinely cares about nurturing young talent.
Nick is an amazing soccer coach. After only a few weeks of coaching my daughter one-on-one last summer, she returned to the field in the fall as a totally different player. Now more confident in her own abilities, everything from her footwork to her dribbling skills have significantly improved. Nick’s approach in teaching the fundamentals of the game has been a huge part in boosting her confidence. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to gain a more in-depth understanding of the game and improve their soccer skills.
I'm sharing this review because I feel most parents were in the same position as myself. My daughter a 4th grader decided to try a new sport at the age of 9. It was for a soccer travel team. She had never played before and of course I thought ok we'll spend the money and she'll hopefully get some play time. She was lucky enough to get Coach Nick. He completely took her under his wing and started her with the basics. She was playing on a team with kids that have played for years. He has worked so hard with her to improve her speed, agility, and confidence every time she walks out in the field. If you are looking for a coach that takes the time and actually cares about the kids he is working with then I highly recommend hiring him. My daughter actually looks foward to practices and has a new love in her heart for a new sport, a new team, and her coach that encourages her and supports her. Thank you Nick for being her support and her confidence in her new soccer venture.
