"Nicolas Howard is an AMAZING basketball coach!! He was very flexible. I was traveling from N. CA for basketball tournament with multiple kids (ages 16-17) and wanted a group training session after kids were in the car for hours. Using TeachMeTo was easy and I was lucky enough to find Nicolas for training on the only evening where we were saying close to Universal Studios. Nicolas was very accommodating and was able to meet us in the evening as we drove in and he spent time effectively between warming up in drills and then giving the kids pointers when playing 5 v 5. The kids has such a great time that they were begging me to go back to training the next two days even in the days they were playing on the weekend. If it wasn’t so far from the tournament venue south in Orange, we would have begged Nicolas for another session. Can’t thank Coach Nicolas enough.
