About The Guest

Coach Nico Tovar

Coach Nico Tovar is a nationally recognized soccer coach, mentor, and youth development leader who believes sports can help young people discover their potential both on and off the field. Through his work with the U.S. Soccer Foundation and its Yes, Coach! initiative, he helps equip coaches with the tools to become positive role models and mentors for young athletes. With years of experience coaching and developing players, Nico has seen firsthand how a great coach can build confidence, character, and a sense of purpose.
