Coach Nicolas Cabrera:
Veteran, Leader, and Community Advocate

At Diesel Athletic Academy, we are committed to fostering strength, discipline, and community both on and off the mat. Our founder, Coach Nicolas Cabrera, brings his athletic expertise and a deep dedication to service as a U.S. Army veteran.
His leadership extends beyond coaching—he serves as the Senior Vice Commander of VFW Post 133 in East Brunswick, ensuring veterans receive the recognition, support, and camaraderie they deserve. Coach Cabrera, alongside his wife Claire Heudes Cabrera, an Auxiliary member of Post 133, actively serves the veteran community.
Their work aims to bridge the gap between athletics, wellness, and community service, emphasizing the importance of giving back and standing together. We invite all Diesel Athletic Academy members and community members to join and participate in VFW events, reinforcing the importance of unity and support for those who have sacrificed for our country.
The VFW is a vital resource for veterans, offering assistance, advocacy, and a strong network of peers who understand the unique challenges of military life. Get Involved. We will post the VFW calendar here to inform our community about upcoming events and opportunities to contribute. If you are a veteran or a close family member of a veteran and are interested in joining VFW Post 133, please reach out to Coach Nicolas Cabrera or Claire Heudes Cabrera. We are here to help connect you with a community that honors and supports those who have served.
Together, we build strength, resilience, and a thriving community in sports and service.
