Jadon Bowton, University of Washington
“Nick played a huge role in my soccer career. Not only did he coach me to be a better goalkeeper, but he was a crucial piece in my recruiting process. He spent countless hours planning my future with me and my parents and really took into consideration what I wanted for both soccer and school. He spoke to school after school and helped me understand the landscape at each university. He spent much more time talking to coaches on my behalf than i did. My parents and I had no idea what the recruiting process was like for D1 schools, and with Nicks guidance, it was laid out and made easy for us. I would not be where I am today without Nick."
Jeff Friedman,
George Fox University
"Throughout my recruiting process, Nick Piger was extremely influential and helpful. Through his relationship building and connections with college coaches, Nick helped me get my foot in the door with many different programs. For me, this helped reduce the stress that comes with college recruitment, and I know he has done the same for countless other high school athletes. Nick is phenomenal at what he does, and I could not recommend him more!”
Chase Howatt, Gonzaga University
Ever since I was a young kid, my goal was to play soccer at the highest level and secure a spot in a prestigious collegiate program. I am incredibly grateful to Nick for making my dream a reality by guiding me to Gonzaga University after high school graduation.
Looking back on my journey with Nick, there are numerous qualities that make him an exceptional advisor for high school athletes aspiring to play at the next level. Firstly, Nick's lifelong passion for the game and extensive soccer knowledge make him an outstanding evaluator of individual players' abilities. He has the remarkable ability to provide realistic assessments of players' potential and the college level at which they would thrive. But Nick doesn't stop at evaluation; he goes above and beyond.
Nick is truly the biggest advocate for each of his players. He tirelessly works to connect them with college coaches, facilitating direct communication and establishing crucial connections. He keeps players updated on important university events and ID camps, ensuring they stay informed and seize every opportunity to shine. Nick's dedication to his players extends far beyond the soccer field.
One aspect where Nick truly excels is emphasizing the importance of academics for his players throughout high school. He understands that maintaining strong grades can make a significant difference in securing a spot at the Division I level versus settling for a Junior College. Nick's investment in my future extended beyond soccer, and I am deeply grateful for his guidance and support.
Everything I achieved in my collegiate soccer career is a direct result of Nick's unwavering commitment to my success. He believed in me and worked tirelessly to make my dreams a reality. I can't express my gratitude enough for the incredible work Nick have done for me. I wholeheartedly recommend Nick to any aspiring athlete looking to make their mark in the soccer world.
Bryce Allred,
UNLV
“When I first starting working with Nick, I had little buzz around my name even from years of trying, but Nick had my best interest in mind and helped me every step of the way. All I had to to was play my best and not worry about the recruiting side of things because he had that covered. Because of this I was able to get multiple scholarship offers, an opportunity to play with Crossfire in the ECNL, and to continue my career while getting and education. I don’t think any of this would have been possible without Nicks guidance and connections. "
MArcus Abdelmalek, Cal Poly Humboldt
"I have known Nick for many years now and he was the one who began me on my journey to college soccer. On this journey Nick followed our team to almost every game and tournament connecting with college coaches who would be in the area and or interested in our players. Nick would get us into contact with these coaches and walk us through how to properly contact and communicate with them. He would also create brochures with our names, grade, high school and our GPA. He would talk to these coaches himself as well and market us the best he could. Nick Piger helped me play at the next level and I am now going into my fourth year at Cal Poly Humboldt and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Ben Jones, Dad to Timmy (Wheaton) and Adam Jones (Biola)
“Nick was incredibly helpful in helping me understand the recruiting process. As a parent it is a stressful time and he helped me understand how to contact coaches and navigate the recruiting process. He was always available to answer questions and willing to contact coaches for me. He was such a great resource in getting both my boys recruited and playing college soccer. He was always available for my boys to talk and help them with questions. My wife and I are forever grateful for Nick and his investment in our boys. ”
Chris Swider, Gonzaga University
“Piger’s assistance in my college recruiting process was absolutely vital towards getting me to the right college soccer program. Recruitment can be overwhelming and Piger did a great job keeping me on track. He guided me on how to initiate contact with coaches, talk to coaches, and navigate the college recruiting world. Not only was he extremely helpful in mentoring me during this process, but he also did a lot of work behind the scenes. He sent out dozens of emails and made numerous phone calls to college coaches in my favor. Without his help, I would not be at the college program I am at today.”
Spencer Crithfield,
Westmont University
"Without Nick I’m not sure if I would have ended up playing college soccer. During the pandemic, recruiting opportunities were few and far between. Using his prior relationships, he helped the get the ball rolling with the program I would eventually commit to. That initial contact from Nick was an essential part of my recruiting process and I am super grateful for what he was able to do for me."
Marcos Bravo, Eastern Oregon University
“I am thrilled to share my heartfelt testimonial about the invaluable assistance I received from Nick Piger throughout my soccer recruiting process. Nick's expertise, dedication, and unwavering support played a pivotal role in helping me secure opportunities to connect with the University’s across the country.
From the very beginning, Nick displayed a profound understanding of the intricacies involved in the college soccer recruitment journey. He took the time to get to know me as a player and as an individual, assessing my strengths, areas for improvement, and personal aspirations. This personalized approach allowed him to tailor his guidance specifically to my needs, ensuring that I received the most effective advice and support at every step.
Nick's network of connections within the soccer community proved to be an invaluable asset. He effortlessly tapped into his vast pool of contacts. His established relationships with college coaches and recruiters opened doors that I may have struggled to access on my own. Thanks to Nick's seamless networking, I was able to showcase my skills and potential to these prestigious institutions, ultimately leading to meaningful conversations and opportunities for consideration.
​Beyond his impressive network, Nick consistently went above and beyond to provide me with the resources I needed to excel throughout the recruiting process. Whether it was refining my soccer resume, creating a standout highlight reel, or helping me prepare for interviews and campus visits, he guided me with his wealth of knowledge and experience. His attention to detail, coupled with his genuine passion for my success, instilled me with confidence and a sense of reassurance during this often overwhelming journey.

Nick, thank you for being a game-changer in my life and for helping me pave the way to a bright future in college soccer.”
Chris Peretti, University of Washington
"Piger has really helped me and my family throughout my process of progression through various stages of my soccer career. From playing in a new city, to attending RSl, being recruited by schools all over the country, and finally to making a decision on where to play. He was on of the first faces I met after I moved to the area and he is someone I have come to consider family over the years. Piger has proved to be an incredible asset, connection, and just an overall great person to have in my corner."
Conner Cary, Air Force Academy
“Hello, I am Cadet First Class Conner Cary. I am a senior at the United States Air Force
Academy. I grew up playing soccer in Spokane, Washington under the club team, Spokane
Sounders. It was always my biggest dream as a kid to take my soccer career to the next level.
which was playing at an NCAA Division 1 school. I was a very hard working and determined
player growing up. I wanted to achieve my dream of playing at a D1 school. I met Nick Piger
during my Junior year of High School, and he took me under his wing and helped through the
recruiting process. As a high school kid, it is tough going through the recruiting process alone. For me, I was lost in the recruitment process. I did not know how to write emails, I was afraid to call coaches from big schools, and I did not know how to even find most of the information to get ahold of D1 soccer coaches. It was Nick who did all the hard work in getting ahold of the coaches and having them come out for tournaments and games to see me play. He always put in a good word for me to intrigue the coaches to see what kind of player I was. To get into USAFA, Nick had the Assistant coach, Cristopher Foster, come out to see me play at a tournament in
California. Coach Foster said he loved the way I played, and it was only a few weeks after the
tournament that Nick got me in touch with Coach Foster on a call in which I verbally committed
to my dream school, the United States Air Force Academy. Nick truly cares for us young
athletes. He wants to see us achieve our dreams of playing soccer at a higher level and will do whatever it takes to get us there. I firmly believe that if it wasn’t for Nick, I would not have
made it into a D1 school, let alone my dream school.”
Michael Rojas, University of Washington
“There are many things that I might forget to mention about Piger but he was and is a great mentor to me. He took me under his wing and boosted my confidence for soccer. He was almost like a father towards me in some ways, whenever my parents weren’t able to come with me to trainings or games, him and Chay would take me. Additionally, in the summer he would even let me spend the night at his house just so I can have a place to stay instead of having to drive back and forth 2 hours for 3 times of the week. His work didn’t stop there, he also helped me get some jobs during the summer, he reached out to folks and gave him my information so we could help plan out my summer to work and focus on my soccer trainings. Finally, he was instrumental in getting me through the college process. He helped get me seen, have multiple offers, managed my essay and application deadlines and helped me understand the options I had in front of me. This all helped me to get to the place I am today, playing for the University of Washington."
Eli armstrong, Loyola Marymount University
“While the college soccer recruiting process was both challenging and unfamiliar for my family and I, Nick made the process smooth and exciting. Without Nick I would not have made it to playing Division 1 soccer and am deeply grateful for all the phone calls and connections that pushed me to where I am today.”."
Clayton crocket, UC Stanislaus/ Whitworth University
"Nick made it so that I was able to be seen by a number of schools I never thought possible. He is extremely connected, and will put his neck out when referencing ti to coaches. Just goes to show that he is genuinely invested and wants the best for you as a player.
Nick also pushed me to reach for schools that I never thought I could get to initially. He showed me what it would take to get there, and how the process should be completed. Without his help I don’t think I would be playing at the best possible fit for myself."
Jose Napoles, CBC
“Nick has been a exceptional mentor/guidance during my college process. I was presented to all sorts of colleges and made a lot connections to many of them! Beyond that, as a mentor he always gave me fantastic tips to improve my performance on and off the field. Without his guidance I wouldn’t haven’t experienced this college process!”
