In August Nick Bruce was honored as TGA’s Southeast Michigan coach of the year. Now he has an even bigger honor — TGA’s national coach of the year!
Nick started working for TGA in the fall of 2012 while a junior at Anchor Bay High School. As an assistant coach, he enthusiastically volunteered to work as many after-school classes and summer camp sessions as possible, always asking questions and soaking up information from lead instructors. He was promoted to lead instructor after graduation in 2014 and continued to work a very busy schedule. In 2018 he brought his high-energy and fun approach to more than 400 TGA students.
“Thank you so much for this award,” said Nick, who is finishing up at Macomb Community College and will be transferring to Walsh College to complete his business degree. “I really do this for the kids. But being appreciated for it is the best thing that has happened to me since I started working for TGA.”
Here’s what one parent said about Nick: “I want to let you know that I REALLY appreciate the coaches at Atwood. The way coach Nick handles the kids is great. I personally went up to him and thanked him for keeping the kids in line. It’s great to see that they are so passionate about what they do and they really drive it into the kids.”
