Nelu, head coach of All Star Sports Centre, truly pours his heart and soul into coaching and mentoring his athletes. He works tirelessly to see his athletes achieve their dreams, and most recently has helped two of his level 10 athletes secure places on NCAA teams for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year, one of these athletes obtaining a full ride scholarship.
Nelu has been coaching in Ontario for 27 years and has coached both women’s and men’s artistic athletes. He diligently helps other coaches develop their coaching techniques and skill progressions so that they, in turn, can help their own athletes thrive and develop. Nelu goes above and beyond to help athletes and coaches develop, as he truly and passionately cares about seeing all athletes meet their goals and become successful.
Even though Nelu coaches the highest level athletes in the gym, you will often see him walk up to a young recreational gymnast learning a new skill and kindly give them some advice.
Coach Nelu creates a safe and inclusive training environment for his athletes. He is dedicated to athlete safety above success, and encourages his athletes to stay positive and healthy. He connects with the parents and families of his athletes in efforts to build positive relationships and has an open door policy for them to speak to him at any time.
Nelu’s passion, dedication and love of coaching are inspiring to everyone.
