Chapter 34 was a memorable year. I can look back and reflect on many things that will prepare me for Chapter 35. Life right now is all about adding our stamp on the basketball world. Basketball is a game I fell in love with 19 years ago and when the kids came along that love was placed on hold. Now, I get to share my passion for the game with them and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Basketball is bigger than trophies, winning or the potential fame that could come with it. It's a brotherhood. To this day, I still talk to people I bonded with over this sport 15 years ago. This year I will continue to learn more about the game myself, and continue to push the next generation to play at their highest potential. Teamwork turns into a family. Team Nickels is a family.
Here's to another year around the sun. The Nickels brand will continue to grow. Our mission will continue to be defined. Time is a thief when we take it on individually. But, as a team, we can accomplish something beautiful.
With love,
Coach Nicholson
