More About Coach Nicole

My current experience is at the collegiate level - I am the head women's basketball coach at Principia College. I am in my fifth year as the head coach, and spent two years as an assistant before that. I've coached all ages, from youth camps and high school clinics to college ball. I've worked at several camps in the Midwest and on the east coast, mostly with grade school age players. Individual skill development is my greatest passion - if you love basketball and want to get better, I want to help you!

I started playing basketball at a young age (around the age of 9) and was always a shooting guard/small forward. I graduated from Principia College (NCAA DIII) where I was a four year starter and two year captain.

I am very big on teaching progressions. So straight ball-handling, breaking down moves, offensive series, position IQ, shot/shot selection, etc. I also look to spend a lot of time on shooting mechanics. Good fundamentals are so important, and often overlooked in today's game so I like to spend lots of time on developing good habits. I think it is important to be efficient with the time we spend together, so all workouts are high intensity and fast-paced.

coach Nicole was a pleasure to work with. Her knowledge of the game shows!! Not only did she make it fun for my daughter, she had the ability to explain it to where it was very easy to understand, then execute. We look forward to working with her and can't wait to see my daughter's game elevate to the next level..

Coach Nicole has been well worth the time and money, as she has helped my 13 year old son level up his skills. She’s so easy to work with and has strong coaching instincts. Hi give her my highest recommendation!

My daughter loves her! Patient, good communication skills. Was able to help her shot the first lesson.

Coach Nicole is amazing! Utilizes her time efficiently while being highly productive. Great feedback in the moment. Always positive and motivating. Her coaching is never overwhelming or too simple. So glad we found her!

Nicole is an excellent trainer! I could tell in the first ten minutes that the sessions were going to be high quality. In the first session she helped my daughter see some areas she could grow. My daughter came home very excited and ready for another session. We will defiantly be booking more! I would highly recommend if you are looking for someone to take your game to the next level.

Coach Nicole is fantastic. I'm 24, and love playing the game. My skills were limited at best and in just 3 sessions I improved dramatically. Highly recommended!

Excellent

Nicole is an amazing coach and has been so patient with our 10 year old son. After the first lesson he left with a passion for the game and a desire to keep learning the fundamentals. In just a few short lessons, his shot and dribble have improved dramatically. She doesn't just teach him the how to's but has given him the knowledge of the game as well. We are so glad we found Coach Nicole.

Wow. I am really pleased to watch my daughter come alive and work on things she just hasn't been taught in grade school ball. This is going to be the start of a great relationship between coach and athlete.

Nicole put my 13 year old son to work the first lesson. She quickly identified what he needed to improve his shot, and even taught him some dribbling moves that will help his game. Looking forward to lesson 2. And I appreciate her responsiveness.

The session with Nicole was terrific. She had a good series of drills she put my daughter through and kept it active and fun. My daughter loved how positive and encouraging she was. We're looking forward to more sessions going forward.

Nicole is amazing! She is a hard working, kind, knowledgeable young women who strives for success with my daughter.

Aidan had a great first session and is looking forward to working with Nicole.

Highly recommend coach Nicole !!!! Pleasant, prompt and easy to work with, answered questions quickly before setting up session and made scheduling easy as well. My daughter can't wait to get back in the gym and work thanks to Nicole's positive training techniques and attention to detail. Can not say enough good things about her and her obvious love and knowledge of the game and willingness to teach. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!

Nicole worked with Josh very well. He is excited and cannot wait for his next session!!! Excellent coach, would highly recommend booking with her now before she becomes too popular and her schedule fills up.

Nicole has been doing a great job with my son (11 yrs old). She is working a lot of different skills and making sure he is doing them correctly. She is very encouraging. I would highly recommend Nicole for lessons !

Nicole was fantastic. The first meeting with her surpassed our expectations. The session was well planned and organized. My daughter can hardly wait for her next coaching session. Thanks Nicole!

Before finding CoachUp and Nicole my daughter worked 1 on 1 with other coaches and they never meshed.

Coaching is not always about the physical aspect of the game but understanding the kid, what motivates them and how to bring their game to the next level. Nicole, unlike other coaches made that assessment and brought my daughters game up and in a short time. My daughter loves working with Nicole!

We plan on using Nicole again and with multiple girls that play basketball hopefully for years to come.

Coach Nicole gave my son an intense training session and covered a lot of things in only 1 hour. My 16 year old is excited to continue working with her. Thanks Nicole.

Excellent coach. Nicole is very knowledgeable about the game, she praises your strengths and coaches up your weaknesses. She takes the time to learn more about you beyond the game of basketball. My son will be keep going back to see her to continually improve his game.
