Nikki H.

I have privately coached all ages of fastpitch softball players. I specialize in position specific defensive training as well as speed, strength and agility. I have also coached adult players who desire to improve their hitting and defensive skills.

I also have experience coaching and training youth and teenage volleyball players.

I currently hold a Yoga Alliance Registered Teacher Training Certificate and teach Power Vinyasa yoga. I studied with Tiffany Cruickshank whose program is heavily focused on anatomy and functional movement. I work privately with clients and athletes who wish to incorporate yoga to develop mind-body awareness and improve strength and flexibility.

I Played NCAA Division 1 college softball at Providence College in Providence, RI. In high school I received several student-athlete awards, and was 4-year all-league and all-state varsity softball player and a 3-year varsity volleyball player. I have over 18 years experience playing high-level competitive softball, and 8 years playing competitive volleyball. Both of these sports are my passion!!

I have also been practicing Bikram and Power Vinyasa Yoga over the past 5 years.

I am very passionate about getting to know the people I coach! I typically ask a lot of questions about history and personal goals in the first session. We work together on goal setting, and then get to work!

Depending on what I am coaching (softball, volleyball or yoga), we will briefly go over a training plan. My job is to give the athlete lots of personal attention and to make the learning process fun. Expect to work hard, but with a lot of support along the way.

Along with teaching skills of the game, I also help my clients let go of fears and self-doubt that may be holding them back from peak performance. I incorporate lifestyle skills in my sessions as well as a lot of encouragement.
