"Coach Nicolas did a great job of assessing my son’s level and catering the drills to work on the fundamentals he needs to develop. He did a great job of breaking down the drills and movements and giving him small corrections or things to focus on and didn’t over load him with too much at once. He pushed him to get him to work hard without frustrating him.
