Learn and teach life lessons with mindfulness, constant and continual improvement; getting a little better than yesterday.
"If you can't explain it to a six-year-old; then you don't understand it yourself."Albert Einstein
"I understand that I will never know everything about baseball or life. What I do know is I owe my life to this game. Baseball has given me some of the most significant moments and sparked most of the joy that has come my way.
This game has positioned me to act on countless opportunities to better myself and those around me. I have built lifelong relationships and seen the world through cultures and people that I never imagined.
My goal is to give back everything this game has taught me to as many young players and coaches as possible. Keeping the constant learning cycle going."

See why they work with Coach Nick
Nick is a proponent of coaching the coaches who work under him, so that his entire team is knowledgable, prepared, and actively working towards the same goal. As a coach myself, I envy Nick's ability to get a group of loud and rambunctious children to quickly listen to what he has to say, and get his point across so easily.
Most of all, Nick is patient, and enjoys taking the time to help players, and coaches under him get better by answering any questions they may have and as well by sharing his own professional expertise.
I was coached by Nick Holmes from the age of 6 to 16, and every step of the way he was professional, encouraging, and had mine and my family's best interests in mind.
I can say that I would not have been able to play high level college baseball without being coached by him and his guidance. His morals and values are second to none and he emphasizes being a great human being first rather than a great baseball player.
Since the start of my baseball career in little league hitting in the cages with Coach Holmes and having him as a resource throughout the beginning stages of my career was absolutely incredible. Without a doubt he played a huge role for me playing through college and beyond.
That is something I will always be thankful for.
Hey Coach, thank you for having such a positive influence on my son Matt and helping him develop both as a player and as a man.
I know he has fond memories of the time he spent in your program.
As a coach, Nick is quick to trade in conventional methods of instruction for a more in depth breakdown of a player's fundamentals. He's the last person to give up on you even when you've given up on yourself.
Nick offered a very formalized structured program we expect due to a military background. In addition to the skills of baseball Nick taught our kids to listen and respect their coaches and of course the game.
During game sessions Nick preached hustle on and off the field and constantly looked for coachable moments during games so that through mistakes in a game all kids learned something from their day at the field.
Over the course of my career I had hundreds of coaches. And only three of those hundreds were true baseball knowledgeable coaches that had an impact on my career. Nick Holmes is one of those coaches.
Nick inspires discipline, hard work and how to play the game of baseball the right way. If you're considering learning from him, don't walk, run if you get the opportunity.
