The thing that impressed me most about Nico is his ability to impart knowledge. With him you analyze errors and studied so that you fully understand them and can best correct them. I have been taking classes with Nico 2/3 times a week for a year now and my improvements have been astounding.
Absolutely recommended!

I had a great experience taking lessons with Nico. He’s very friendly, efficient, helpful and knows how to adapt to each different person, by giving lots of different drills.

I’ve only taken a few lessons with Nico, but immediately after the first one, I could tell that his teaching style is different in a good way from the other coaches I’ve taken lessons from. His direct, friendly informative approach is very helpful. His positive reinforcement and passion for the game make me want to push myself to do better. With an injured left knee, he’s given me an alternative swing option as I change from a one-handed to two-hand backhand. I am more confident now using the two-hand backhand in a game. He’s also taught me techniques to loosen up 😊.

When he sees me at the court by myself, he would often offer to hit with me. The drills, mechanics and practice swing motions he has shown me has proven to be effective, especially in my serves. Prior to taking lessons with Nico, I could count in my fingers how many aces I’ve served. Now, I have aced players who are better than me and I rarely lose my service game. Several of the people I play with noticed and commended the improvement. I would highly recommend him as a coach!

Nico is an amazing coach and person, and a pleasure to be around on the court. I am so incredibly happy with the progress that I have made since working together and this is reflected in the results that I have seen in my own game. I thoroughly enjoy each and every lesson and always feel like I am continuing to improve both my technique and strategy, while actively implementing the work we do in practice during my matchplay. From the start, I told Nico I was willing to put in the time and work, so we would routinely do 3 hour non-stop lessons and he would absolutely push me all the way. Since we have been working together, I have won 3 leagues and 1 tournament at the 3.5-4.0 level, and it has only been a little over 2 years since I first started playing.
