Nikolas "Niko" Acosta | Football Proper Youth Trainer

With a most impressive soccer resume at a very young age, Football Proper was thrilled to have Niko join the staff in the summer of 2006. A CIF Champion from Temecula Valley High School and the starting center midfielder for the nationally renowned Nomads Soccer Academy, Niko now looks to share his personal training work ethic and sophisticated technical knowledge. Additionally, Niko captians his Chivas USA U19 team as he looks to begin his collegiate and professional playing careers.

"In our sport, being able to deal with the ball under pressure is of the utmost importance. There is no substitute for technical repetition on the training field and relying on those skills in matches. Adam Skumawitz has played at some of the highest levels in both this country and abroad. His knowledge of the game, the techniques, mentally and training habits that are required to be successful at the highest level is unquestioned."
