Hi Coach Nikki, Mack is trilled you're continuing training!! Over the years she has been on a few different high-level teams that have included lift training and has always hated it. She absolutely loves coming to your training sessions and her strength and confidence have grown so much. With the mix of training with Nikki and lift with you l've seen her confidence increase more in these past few months than I have in years! I really appreciate all the support you give her to grow her strength, skills and

Thank you so much for fitting Liv in today. She had so much fun with you and she told me that you're the reason (because of the way you train her) why her coach in Hilo said they see something special in her defense. Looking fwd to summer training already and good luck this season with FVVC!!

My point here is that this is a different kid from the girl she was before she started training with you and I truly believe that her growth, both in skills and in CONFIDENCE is a direct result of the training she gotten from you and Aspiring Athletes. I feel so incredibly grateful we found you and the high quality training you provide. Thank you for helping her be the best she can be at this sport she loves and for being such an amazing mentor to teen girls. We appreciate you!!!

Hi Nikki, Avery is looking forward to attending the make up session on Thursday. You can count on her being there. I also just wanted to express my gratitude for your encouragement and belief in these past months at Aspiring Athlete. I have watched her grow and develop not just on the court but off the court in important ways. Her confidence and passion for the sport have flourished, and as a mother it has brought tears to my eyes to see her light up under your leadership. I just want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU, and we look forward to continuing with you into the winter.

Good morning Nikki, I just wanted to say a big thank you for everything you've done for Dora. You helped her grow from a beginner into a confident volleyball player, and we truly appreciate your patience and hard work. We're happy to tell you that Dora received offers from Seaside 13U and FVVC, and FVVC 14U, Velocity, ACE, and Ducks callback (Sat) Her progress has been amazing, and we know it wouldn't have happened without you and Aspiring Athlete. We hope Dora can keep learning with you and continue enjoying volleyball. Thank you again for all your support-it really means a lot to us.

Hi Nikki, Just wanted to say thank you for pouring so much into both Hope and Grace. Hope is playing up on the Junior team at Langley Christian school and they just got 2nd at EVA's! They held their own against a tough team, stayed positive and worked so hard. Hope played lights out! Her defence and hitting was outstanding. A few parents came up to me later commenting on her performance and asked what we were doing with her and I raved about Aspiring to them. It's clear the time and effort you have put into their training, discipline and discussions are paying off.

Good morning Coach Nikki I hope you are keeping well. First and foremost, I want to say thank as my daughter, did the Lib program with you and Julio this Spring and the training was incredible. Thank you for granting her the opportunity to train with the both of you and benefit from your experience. She went into it feeling a bit nervous about the depth of skill and talent but came out of it feeling more confident as she learned so much in those few months. She is very grateful to have been included.

Hi Coach Cornwall, I'm reaching out for a couple of reasons. First, I want to give you and your coaching staff a big thank you for all the hard work you've put into your athletes. Without you all, I'm not sure I would have had the opportunity to play at the post-secondary level. Your knowledge, dedication, and work ethic truly transfer to your athletes, and I've experienced that firsthand. I'm really grateful that I had the chance to learn from you, and I appreciate everything you and your staff have done to help me grow as a player and as a person.

Hi Coach Cornwall. I'm Kelly's' Dad from Thunder. I just wanted to reach out with a quick message of thanks. Kelly's training with you and your team of coaches not only helped get her game to the next level but your belief in her gave Kelly the confidence to play to her best ability not only on the good days but also the tough ones. Driving an hour each way before school (when traffic wasn't a disaster) was a commitment Kelly wanted to make. I don't think she would have done that for any other coach. She is not a morning person! Thanks in large part to your encouragement and development Kelly is now going to continue with her volleyball journey in USports next year. You've helped change the life path she's on which I'm sure you've done for so many other players. Thanks so much.
