Frequently Asked Questions
What level of student do you work with? Serious students at all levels — advanced high schoolers, college players, working professionals, and career changers. Sessions are fully customized to where you are and where you want to go.
What happens after I purchase? You'll receive a scheduling link and a short intake form within 24 hours. The intake helps Nick come prepared with a plan for your first session.
What's the difference between a single session and a bundle? A single session is a great entry point — focused, actionable, and immediately useful. Bundles are for sustained development: weekly or monthly sessions with assignments, feedback between meetings, and the accountability that actually moves the needle.
Do sessions expire? Bundle sessions are valid for 12 months from purchase.
