More About Coach Nicosia

I have 13 years of combine coaching and playing experience.

I've trained all types of athletes, from 6 to 25 years of age in basketball drills and strengthen training (Males and Females)

I coached as interim head coach at Division III level at College of Saint Elizabeth and currently coach high school girls basketball. Most athlete’s I trained are well- rounded and better equipped to play in games and have more confidence within themselves.

I participated in AAU for 7 years. Played varsity basketball elite level 4 years in high school. Received two back-to-back state of Illinois championships my junior and senior year. I furthered my athletic participation at the Division I level, at Seton Hall University.

I didn't play much my freshman year but return my sophomore year as a starter for 27 consecutive games and received Big East all academic honors. Due to traumatic injury that sidelines me, I transferred and continue playing basketball for Montclair State University a Division III.

I led the NJAC conferences in defense, especially in steals and rebounds, which converted to an undefeated season in 2012-13, and I also helped lead the team to two NJAC championships Conference back to back and two NCAA Divison III appearances; sweet 16 and Elite 8.

I received back-to-back defensive player of the year for conference and was awarded all second and first team in the conference. I also received 1st team all-metropolitan for Division III honorable top athletes for the New Jersey and New York area.

When it comes to my basketball clients I work in all areas to build the clients foundation. I run my sessions base on the client's needs. Whatever specific area a client wants me to work with them on I just focus on that particular thing and add additional skills to make sure the client is well rounded.. The client receive agility and strength workouts while working on other skill work. The athletes will be shooting(learning proper technique and lay-ups), dribbling skills (learning speed and control), defense (balance and foot speed). Athletes will see the weight room and also will be running to develop endurance. The clients has access to workout plans for losing or gaining weight, agility work and plyometric, cardio/running. Depending on the client's situation will determine workout plans and adjustment.

Nicosia has not only exceeded our expectations but has set an unparalleled standard in coaching. Choosing her as our son's personal coach has been a game-changer. Under Nicosia's guidance, our son has not only acquired foundational basketball skills like shooting and dribbling with his non-dominant hand but has also embraced newfound confidence on the court. His shot form has undergone a remarkable transformation for the better. Nicosia's expertise and dedication have turned our son into a formidable player, and we attribute his progress entirely to her exceptional coaching abilities. Grateful for the positive impact she's had, I can confidently say that Nicosia is truly outstanding at what she does. Her coaching has not only benefited our son but has also inspired a positive shift in our perspective on basketball training.

Coach Nikki did a great job finding my son's weaknesses in order to focus training session to improve upon while encouraging the things he does well. Great workout 💪

Coach Nikki is AMAZING!!! Upon first meeting my daughter she unquired about her learning style. As an educator I was super impressed. My daughter is a freshman with hopes of playing varsity sooner rather than later and I'm sure Coach Nikki will get her there. So blessed to have found her.

Coach Nicky is very knowledgeable, creative, and thoughtful coach. She's very direct and clear in her directions. The workout was challenging and fun. Only wish I could've gotten in sessions with her

Coach is very detailed, patient, and knows the game. My daughter clicked with her immediately and is excited for every session. Highly recommend!

I have had tutors for my kids, monologue coaches, and voice teachers so I am used to getting assistance from professionals. We met coach Nikki and I have to say she was amazing. She took the time and had enormous patience for my son. I forgot to tell Nikki in advance that my son has an auditory processing disorder and there is a delay from the speech to his brain, however this was not an issue. Nikki was was patient and kind and worked around his issue without even knowing it existed.

My son learned so much in the one session and was home practicing and implementing her coaching. We are looking forward to a long relationship and are super excited to have met not only a knowledgeable professional but wonderful person as well.

She is not 5 stars she is 10!

In rec basketball you do not get the instruction you need. If your child is serious about the game you have to hire someone to help them and there is no better choice than Nikki. Thank you so much. We are thrilled.

Coach Nicosia was excellent with my daughter! By the end of the first session, my daughter was doing things she had never done, and was doing them pretty well. Most importantly, Coach Nicosia knew how to evaluate my kid and how to lead her through the right exercises to build her skills and confidence.

I had my first training session today with Coach Nicosia and I enjoyed it!! We worked on dribbling the first half and shooting the second half of my session and taught me a move to use when I drive to the rim. After my workout she went over my strengths and weaknesses and has given me workouts to do when I get home to improve my game even more! She has a lot of knowledge of the game and I'm excited to keep working with her!!

Coach Nicosia is simply amazing , my 13 year old daughter had her first training and loved it ! The diference she played in her next game 2 days later was shocking ! My husband and I looked at each other several times during the game wondering what a difference 1 session with Nicosia made! I even text Nicosia during the game telling her what a difference I saw ☺We look forward to continue working with her!

Today was Monica's first session with Coach Nicosia. Coach keenly picked up on her strengths and weaknesses and assigned her drills to practice at home. I'm so happy we found such a talented and experienced coach. Monica is excited for her next session!

I’ve learned a lot throughout my life, but none of what I’ve learned was life changing than what Nicosia has taught me. I learned that give up is an opinion not worth taking. Everyone at some point in their lives have been faced with the many struggles that life offers, but it’s what you do with those difficulties that make you who you are. NIcosia not only overcame many things, but she didn't let them stand in her way. She believed in herself and she knew that the only way for the things that she wants to happen to come true is if she worked hard, never stop believing and always try her best. She became an inspiration to me. She showed me what hard work gets you. She showed me that with a little faith anything is possible. And as a fellow track teammate Nicosia not only work on herself, but she helped anyone who needed help and was willing to work with them so they can improve as well. Because of her I started focusing on the things I want for myself and I have started doing different workouts so I can improving in track. Anyone would agree with me when I say that Nicosia is a great and phenomenal person. I am honored to have known and learn from her.
