GET TO KNOW COACH NICOLE

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO PLAY ON YOUR TEAM?

My goal for my teams is that they always show up to compete and work to win together. I also believe strongly in coaching for growth mindset. Through hard work and practice, athletes can achieve their goals both on and off the court.​

AS A YOUNG ATHLETE, WHO INSPIRED YOU?

I grew up near Seattle, so the University of Washington women’s volleyball team were my idols (my dad and I still catch at least one game every season!). Being able to see strong, confident young women dominate at the national level was truly a gift!

WHAT'S YOUR "GO TO" SONG TO GET YOU PUMPED UP?

WHAT'S YOUR CAN'T MISS TOURNAMENT SNACK?

Albanese gummy worms and coffee!

WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED FOR THIS SEASON?

I’m so excited to get athletes (safely) back to playing volleyball! I can’t wait to be a part of returning to play and bringing together a team that so many of us have missed this year.
