- 2004 BVV Barendrecht in Hoofdklasse (3rd Div. Netherlands)

- 1998 to 2001 Ontario Soccer Under 15 & 18

Niels currently coaches U10 & 11 rep soccer and loves to help his community. He hopes to impact his students in a positive way to lead them on a path towards their goals for the love of the game.

Strengths of Willis in his character: eagerness to learn, attitude, and ability to learn quickly. His strengths in his technical ability: ground ball mastery, and receiving. In the area of ball mastery off the ground, and receiving & passing combined are areas of focus to further his immediate development.

It was a pleasure to work with Willis and I look forward to the opportunity to play a further role in his development into an excellent player.

Coach Niels has been incredible with our kids — supportive, skilled, and always encouraging. His coaching style builds confidence while pushing them to improve, combining technical training with a positive, disciplined approach. He is highly skilled, connects easily with young players, and creates an environment where they feel motivated to learn and grow. We highly recommend him.

Dedicated, experienced, and a gifted teacher-- you will not find a better trainer anywhere in the province.

Niels began working with our daughter just over a year ago, twice a week right after school. We usually arrive 15 minutes early and Niels is always on the pitch and set-up, ready to go. Sometimes he is training another player, and we can see the different kinds of things he does to customize sessions based on age and skill level.

His sessions are progressive, engaging, and most importantly individualized for the key skills our daughter needs to improve.

There is nothing flashy, no gimmicks or special equipment, just repetition and instruction and Niels right in the middle of each drill working as hard as any coach we have seen.

This past month our daughter was selected for the U15 Ontario Provincial Team. We fully credit Niels for helping to take her to this next level.

Our strongest recommendation as parents.

Niels is an exceptional communicator and his technical skill is unquestionable. In just a few lessons with my son, I’ve noted not only an increased technical ability, but also an increased confidence in his play. I would highly recommend Niels to anyone who want to have their child’s game taken to the next level.
