Nicholas Hunt
NKVolley Founder and Director -
Coach Nick started playing volleyball when he was 16 in his home town: Uniondale, NY. He was fortunate enough to earn a scholarship to play at Sacred Heart University, a small Division I school based in Fairfield, CT. Though his skills quickly improved playing at such a high level, his true understanding of the game started to develop as he began coaching Sacred Heart camps during the summer.
After graduating with his Master’s in Criminal Justice and Management, Coach Nick began coaching for 2 seasons at Chelsea Piers Volleyball Club under Director Danny Goncalves, now Division I Head Coach of NJIT Men’s Volleyball Program. He then took his talents overseas, playing professionally for the Middelfart Volleyball Klub in Denmark, where he lead the league in kills, was awarded League MVP and lead the team to a 2nd place finish in the top league. He also was a member of the USA Men’s National team in the summers of 2017 and 2018.
Beginning in 2019, Coach Nick was the club director of Asphalt Green, a volleyball club based in Manhattan, NY, for 2 years. He is also a 4 time lead coach for Gold Medal Squared, a volleyball coaching program that uses motor learning, kinesiology and statistical analysis to get the best results out of youth players.
In the fall of 2021, Coach Nick moved to Texas with a goal of creating a youth volleyball program that revolved around the idea of mindfulness. As a student of the game himself, he prides himself in constantly learning and evolving as a coach and player, and loves imparting this ideology into his players.
