More About Coach Nicholas

Previously I served as an assistant college coach locally. Most recently we've won the conference setting a program record 25 wins. I've served as high school assistant where we made the regional finals. I've worked for a NCAA school that made 3 NCAA appearances in 4 years, while I was a undergrad assistant.

I have a strong background in defense and with post/forwards. I do work with guards. My coaching experience comes on the women's side of basketball, but I've trained athletes on sides. I spend a fair amount of time doing conditioning/agility training. It is just as important to move without the ball, as it is to move with the ball. I want players to be tired when we move to basketball training activities. The basketball training will include rebounding, shooting, getting open, ball handling and passing.

The age group preference is middle school and up. The conditioning/agility work is geared towards the older age groups.

I've been on staff for several conference titles. I've been an assistant coach/undergrad assistant for 4 titles. I want to elevate your game so you can win titles.

Head JV Coach Girl's Basketball Harford Tech: In one season, lead a win less team to a 14-2 record.

Generally first sessions are more fitness related. I want to see where you are physically. Speed, agility, and footwork is a foundation for success in basketball. I will run some basic drills to see where your abilities are in the four areas. Taking care of the ball, rebounding, making shots, and getting to and making FT's. We will spend a good deal working on defensive drills, because defense will get you to the next level, whatever level that might be for you.

Client Reviews

My son was happy with his first lesson. Coach Nicholas was great and my son has a few new drills to try at home. We will definitely be getting some more lessons.

My daughter had her first coaching session with Coach Nick. He clearly explained the things my daughter was doing right as well as the few things she could do better. By the end of the session, my daughter was shooting with confidence. Coach Nick also provided drills to do at home to continue improving. Great session all around!

Nick is a great trainer. Will continue with additional sessions. Don’t hesitate to sign up.

Coach Nick took time to identify my daughters strengths and weaknesses to put a training plan in place. He was able to relate to her and communicate well. I look forward to her working more with Coach Nick.

Coach Nicholas is very committed to helping young kids with improving their basketball skills. He’s onsite early, touches all necessary areas and gives detailed feedback. My son is getting better after only two sessions.

Awesome coach! Very knowledgeable, and after just one session, my son looks forward working with him again!

Coach Nicholas has done an amazing job helping my son with multiple basketball skills. He comes to each session well prepared and brings a variety of circuits to work on skills. My son enjoys his time working with Coach Nicholas. We already see a difference after three sessions and practice at home. Coach Nicholas is encouraging and kind at each session! We are signing up for more sessions.

We were very fortunate to have found Nicholas on Coach Up. He coached our daughter for several sessions in preparation for High School Basketball. Nicholas was very professional, extremely knowledgable, and went above and beyond to assist with questions even after our training sessions. Our daughter gained a lot of valuable court skills and improved her game tremendously. We highly recommend Nicholas-he is top notch!

Mr. Nicholas is a really good coach makes you work. He is very good for big men and their post work.

Nick did a great job assessing my daughters strengths /weaknesses and adjusting the workout accordingly. He was able to challenged her without overwhelming her.

You did a great job with these boys this year. I wasn't sure about playing my son up, but it was the best decision
