Coach Nicole Shows Kids the Value of Teamwork

Coach Nicole is a Coach Across America member in Hartford, CT. Coach Across America (CAA) is an AmeriCorps program launched by Up2Us to provide its member organizations with the support needed to train and host highly effective coaches in sports and youth development.

Coach Nicole was a shy girl growing up and didn’t get involved in sports until a friend coaxed her in high school.  She joined the lacrosse team and fell in love with the sport, playing through college. Coach Nicole also learned the importance of team and is one thing she focuses on with her students.

“I believe that being a part of a team is rewarding because you are working hard for your own personal achievement but also need to learn to work together toward a common goal,” Coach Nicole said.

Thanks to your donations, Valen, Ashley, Pradeep, Rick and Beth, Janet and particularly Michael, Coach Nicole can continue to inspire and empower kids through sports.
