Nick Kliminski has been an active participant in the soccer community for over 15 years, as both a player and a coach. A graduate of Waunakee High School, Kliminski played four years of NCAA Division III soccer, including three years with Lake Forest College and one year with University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. His involvement with both teams sparked regular NCAA tournament appearances since 2015, when Kliminski graduated.
 
Kliminski began coaching early on, obtaining his D-level certification when he was 18.  Since then, he continues to work with local clubs in the Madison area to develop youth players. He has held lead coaching positions with teams in both Waunakee and Sun Prairie clubs, as well as in camps throughout the Midwest. Some of his more notable experiences include coaching with ex-U.S. National Team player, Brian McBride, as well as coordinating an international soccer clinic, held in Janesville, WI in 2014.
 
In addition to his involvement in soccer, Kliminski also teaches middle school with Monona Grove School District.
