"Coach Nick understands the importance of positive energy on the field in order to reach the highest level of play and success. He is passionate about the kids he coaches and we saw an immediate increase in our son’s confidence and skills after private lessons with Nick. The other coaches and parents also noticed his quick improvement and he was moved from the “B” team to the “A” team. As a parent you want to see your child succeed but also have fun. With Nick, you get both. I would highly recommend Coach Nick to anyone interested in improving their child's game and providing your child with a fantastic role model and mentor."

"I am so grateful to Summer Soccer Academy for running a terrific program. My son thoroughly enjoyed himself and I had to literally drag him off the field yesterday - he just wanted to soak in the feeling of that win for as long as possible. I remember that feeling as a kid and that's a gift that you gave him. "

"More important than the high level training and more important than getting to play with boys who were as committed as he is about soccer, was the mental growth that my wife and I saw in him. In a short Summer Soccer Academy, I witnessed a young player develop the mental toughness to understand that nerves are normal - that it means you care - and that he has a belief in himself to be the player he knows he can be. From the first tournament in NJ to the final weekend, he was a completely different kid in his approach and confidence. For all of that and more, I am so grateful to this Summer Soccer Academy."

"I met Coach Nick through a family that worked with him and could not have asked for a better training program to improve both my tactical skills and positional strategy as I finished my last year of club heading into a D2 College program."

"His technical drills improved my ability to think faster on and off the ball and to focus on my runs. After a few sessions the strength and accuracy of my shots improved. He coached me on using my non dominant foot to keep me from being predictable on the field. Nick has a great understanding of the game and has helped me develop as a forward. He helped me focus on my movement around defenders in order to open up opportunities for scoring. His sessions were fast paced, which helped my endurance and conditioned me to play through tiredness. The high speed repetitions help prepare me for a faster speed of play."

"Nick’s coaching style is very positive, patient and encouraging. He explains the drills and the desired outcome. He asks questions to make sure I was understanding the drill and why it was important. I am looking forward to training more with Nick during my breaks from College."

"I have known Coach Nick for a few years now. He has coached my son in the past and has given him valuable advice to help him improve his game. He has a amazing connection with children and he has a genuine interest in seeing them grow as players. So when my daughter needed some individual help to regain her touch and confidence I didn’t hesitate to contact him for some 1 on 1 training. After just one session with Nick there was an immediate change that has been noticed by not only me, but also parents of her teammates. She has scored four goals (two in both games) in her last two games for her Varsity High School soccer team. And her confidence and her aggressive play is extremely high right now. Nick’s training sessions are intense and done at game speed, he encourages players to push themselves beyond their normal limits. They are taught to continue to push themselves and stay technical even when they are fatigued. I look forward to my daughter training with Nick consistently in the future."

"My son has joined the Summer Soccer Academy and the Futsal Skills Program. My son has enjoyed every practice and every game with Coach Nick. ND23 Training has helped my son develop in all aspects over those hard training practices and has provided advice to play in different roles during games that he does not on his club team. Over those events, I have noticed that Coach Nick has such a very unique connection with young players all because his genuine interest in developing them as great soccer players. The most unique part of Coach Nick's connection with young players is his way to motivate them and help them break into another level of skills and/or understanding of the game. Coach Nick's unwaving encouragement ignites and fuels their willing to reach technique and tactical goals beyond their initial expectations. You can tell the sincere happiness from the faces of my son and other young players after they have achieved what seems so hard to do just a few minutes ago. My son is always excited to practice with Coach Nick. This group players of the Summer Soccer Academy has gelled as a team under Coach Nick and will continue to play together in the ND23 Training Futsal Skills Program. I look forward to my son's development with Coach Nick in the future."
