Coach Nic began boxing in 2004 at age 16, dedicating his time to training, studying, and watching the sport. After his final Golden Gloves amateur bout in 2012, he transitioned from competing to becoming a USA Boxing Coach.

Training alongside high-level amateurs and professionals, Coach Nic gained extensive experience that shaped his style and understanding of the sport. Through thousands of rounds of training and sparring, he developed a deep knowledge of boxing strategy—when to use certain techniques, how to approach different opponents, and how to adapt inside the ring.

In addition to boxing, Coach Nic works with competitive kickboxers, Muay Thai fighters, and MMA athletes to improve their striking and apply advanced concepts to their sports.

A lifelong student of boxing, he has studied thousands of fights and continues analyzing the styles and strategies of the sport’s top fighters. His dedication to learning allows him to pass valuable knowledge on to every athlete he trains.

Coach Nic’s goal is to help athletes reach the highest level in boxing and crown a champion. At the same time, he welcomes anyone—whether a serious competitor or a casual fan—who wants to learn, improve, and enjoy the sport.

Meet Coach Jeff. He started boxing on his 14th birthday and was instantly hooked after only eight months into the sport. He won his first fight and continued competitively until his early 20s at the age of 19. He encountered his mentor, who guided him through the intricacies of body mechanics and their interconnectedness. He began coaching in 2015, hoping to have the same impact on others as he had on himself. Coaching was just a hobby for Coach Jeff until 2021 at the end of Covid. He had coached and cornered several fights, making impressive fighters. He realized this was his calling and passion. It was then that he joined the Slick Sluggers team. At Slick Sluggers, where he was surrounded by a team of coaches who shared his passion and love for the sport, Coach Jeff greatly improved his knowledge of the game. It was the ideal place to be. Getting that 1-on-1 experience was personally life-changing for him and now he gets to do that for others every day. His goal as a coach at Slick Sluggers is to make all of his students confident in their ability and skill while making them dangerous and the best version of themselves. 

Meet Coach Mike, a boxing coach at Slick Sluggers Boxing in Huntington. To him, boxing is more than just a sport—it’s an art that builds a powerful mindset. He first stepped into the gym and put on the gloves in 2018, quickly realizing that boxing is about much more than throwing punches. It develops mental strength, discipline and reveals who you truly are when facing challenges.

Coach Mike believes boxing has the power to transform lives. It relieves stress, teaches self-defense, and builds confidence that carries far beyond the gym. Through boxing, frustration can turn into focus, fear into determination, and doubt into strength.

At Slick Sluggers, Coach Mike works with his students to sharpen their boxing skills while helping them grow as individuals. Whether someone is stepping into the ring for the first time or pursuing championship goals, he is there to guide, motivate, and celebrate every victory along the way.
