Introduction Video
More About Coach Nicolas
I have played soccer for my entire life, culminating in playing at the collegiate and semi-pro level. I was recruited to play at schools in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois. I chose to play for the University of Minnesota.
I have coached for 7 years. The players I have mentored range from age 9 to 18 years old. I currently hold the United States Soccer Federation 'D' License. At present, I am the Boy's Academy Director at Park Valley United soccer club.
Competed for the University of Minnesota and multiple semi-pro teams. I've been captain on many of the teams I've been on. My team and I set numerous records for the Byron High School varsity program when I was in high school.
We will, together, first evaluate verbally what and where the client would most like to improve. Let's discuss your goals and how you foresee the growth process taking place.
I then visually asses the player and discern strengths and weaknesses. From here, I will know exactly where to begin our training plan as it pertains to soccer skills, such as shooting, dribbling, juggling and mental capabilities.

Nick spoke directly to the strengths and weaknesses of my kid. He gave a realistic time frame for when we could see improvements, but we started seeing the improvements immediately.

Nic uses his uber-amazing soccer skills, energy and focus to really hone in on areas of improvement and growth for my son. I appreciate how he observes and tweaks immediately any under-developed or incorrect technical skills, in turn helping to foster long term success. My son loves every minute working with him!

Jack has been training with Coach Nic for just three sessions. He is already showing great improvement with his ball handling skills, which gives him confidence when on the field. As a coach, Nic does a great job with his teaching skills and techniques, he uses the whole training time effectively and is very easy to communicate with. Great coach!

Coach Nicolas takes the time to get to know the student and works hard to create a good relationship were teaching through encouragement helps the lesson sink in. We've had one lesson so far and can't wait for the next.
William (CoachUp client)
Coach Nick has been working with my 6-year-old son, Alec, for 4-5 months now. I could not be happier. He keeps Alec laughing and engaged through every session, and the changes in Alec's performance have reflected it 10-fold. I could not recommend him more. He's incredibly skilled at not only teaching fundamentals, but instilling a love of the sport that is sure to stay with Alec indefinitely.
Michelle (CoachUp client)
Nick is a great coach. My son always enjoys his practices and feels he has improved greatly from his time with Nick.
Erika (CoachUp client)
Nic is great, he is super nice and very talented at coaching and soccer. When I first started lessons with him, I wasn't good at soccer but after the first session I could already see great improvement! Thanks to his motivation and great coaching! Would definitely recommend Nic to everyone who is looking for a coach, and who wants to get better at soccer!!!
Blake (CoachUp client)
Hired Nick to coach my son. He has been great; pushing my son just the right amount. Very happy.
Joanne (CoachUp client)
My 8-year-old son loves playing soccer, but was lacking confidence and needed some help with his skills. Coach Nicolas has been terrific! We've only 3 sessions so far, but I already see my sons skills improving and his confidence growing. Coach Nicolas has great energy and enthusiasm, and is able to tailor his coaching to fit my son's needs.
