Hi! I’m Nichole!
I grew up in a small town in southern New Jersey where I started playing softball at the age of 9. I began pitching at 10 years old with my grandfather in my backyard and that’s where my love for the sport grew! I played travel ball from 12u through high school, and also played varsity softball at Sacred Heart High School where I led South Jersey in home runs my senior year. After high school I continued my career shortly at Philadelphia University (which is now know as Thomas Jefferson University) before hanging up my cleats for good. In 2018 I accepted a coaching position for a travel organization in Central Florida as well as started giving private pitching lessons. While in Florida I coached 4 seasons of 10u-14u travel ball, 2 seasons at Lake Mary Prep High School while growing a successful private pitching and hitting business. In 2020 I moved back to my hometown in New Jersey and accepted an assistant coaching position at St. Joe’s High School and began to rebuild my private coaching business.
I pride myself in being a student of the game, and am constantly learning and always looking for new certifications that will benefit my athletes and my coaching. I’m Foster Fastpitch Certified as well as an ACE Certified Personal Trainer who is certified and specializes in Youth Performance Training.
In December 2023 we completed “The Tunnel” which is a 20’ x 52’ green house structure that we have turned into an indoor pitching facility. With two full size batting cages and artificial turf it has become the official home of Fresh Wind Fastpitch.
When I’m not out back in “The Tunnel” I am a part time content creator and full time stay at home toddler mama to my son Caleb.
