Michael Nicholson

SDSC Surf Coach since 2016

“Nico” has been coaching at the youth and collegiate level for 28 years. His first coaching assignment in San Diego was with Pegasus in 1991 and he returned to his roots with SDSC in 2016 to lead the initial year of the club’s USSDA U12 age group. He has enjoyed coaching boys and girls of all ages in San Diego. He is grateful to have had amazing coaching experiences within high school (Serra, Torrey Pines and La Costa Canyon), as well as college (10 years with women's UCSD, 15 years and current with men’s USD). He also works with SDSC coaches, serving as an Age Group Coordinator; and will be leading two age groups within the Boys ECNL (2006 and 2004 for the 2020-21 season).

Favorite soccer moment: his favorite moments in soccer do not revolve around the results of any game or team but the fantastic experiences he shared with the teams and players while on their soccer journey!
