Varsity Assistant Coach
Hello, my name is Nick Borjas and I am an assistant coach at Lakewood high school. I have been coaching for 20+ years and I am very grateful to be apart of the Lakewood program. I’ve been apart of the Lakewood community for such a long time now. I coached the freshman football team a couple years and now I coach both softball and baseball. I really enjoy it, and most of all I enjoy making connections with lots of different athletes. I’ve made life-long connections with a lot of different people and hope to make a lot more. I love to make bonds with my athletes but I am always their coach first. I will motivate them to work harder and push to make them better. I am highly competitive and will always fight to be better. Coach Nick is our Outfield Coach!
