About

Head Coach

Born into a wrestling legacy, Nigel started on the mats at the age of four, following in the footsteps of his father, a member of the 1980 (Moscow) Canadian Olympic wrestling team. Competing at the elite level, he climbed to top rankings provincially, nationally, and internationally. As a four-time OFSAA gold medalist, he concluded his high school wrestling career with bronze medals at both OFSAA and the Canadian National Championships. These achievements earned me a scholarship to Concordia University, where he had the privilege of training under renowned Canadian Olympic coach Victor Zilberman. Since earning a Master’s in Education, he has committed himself to coaching, imparting his knowledge and passion to the next generation of wrestlers. 

Nigel's coaching philosophy centres on focused and mindful training, forging unwavering mental toughness, and cultivating relentless perseverance through any obstacle. He instills a powerful belief that with focused dedication, athletes can shatter perceived limitations and achieve boundless success on and off the mat.
