“Nick has worked with my son for about a year and has exceeded all our expectations. He has formed that type of unique bond with my son that one always looks for in a coach and mentor. He has the ability to provide strong motivation while commanding great respect and representing a great role model. He is consistently courteous and professional in his demeanor, organized and on time, and always goes the extra mile to provide opportunities for continuous development. Eric has become a very reliable kicker thanks to Nick, but beyond the technical skills, he has gained from Nick a sense of confidence and character that will ultimately increase the value he brings to any team he plays for.”
-Ron Shumacher - Father
"Nick's been a great coach for me over the past few years. He knows his stuff and is approachable whether through e-mail or phone. He knows when to be your friend and when to push you on the practice field. Overall, he really does care about your own personal success."
