Nick O'Shea, Recruiting Coach

Oakland University

After 25 years of college coaching, I came to NCSA to help players achieve success both on the field and during the recruiting process. I am an A-licensed soccer coach and have been heavily involved in the Olympic Development Program (ODP) as Region Staff and Michigan’s Director of ODP. I have also coached club soccer for several clubs including IMG Academy and the Houston Dash.

Collegiately, I coached and recruited for 19 years at the women’s Division I level at Oakland University in Michigan and 6 years before that at Schoolcraft College (NJCAA). I also played at both of those programs and then professionally for a few years.

I have three soccer-playing daughters, so I understand the recruiting process from the parent/student-athlete perspective as well. I currently live is Sarasota Florida and have been married to Leslie-ann for over 22 years.
