About nicole

I have coached every level of club volleyball from 12 to 18

I enjoy coaching volleyball because it has given me so much as a person, athlete and professional. The game is like a second home to me. I have enjoyed coaching every level of volleyball. I look forward to being a part of the sunshine coaching staff.

“Always work hard, never give up, and fight until the end.

Because it’s never really over until the whistle blows.
