Let's go!
🥎💙 MEET COACH ADDIE NICKELSON 💙🥎
There is something pretty special about watching someone take what they love and turn around and pour it into the next generation.
Coach Addie has spent 17 years playing the game of softball, from youth leagues, to the Neville High Tigers, to the Rhodes College Lynx. And now, she gets to experience the game from a different side—helping teach, encourage, and develop young girls who are standing where she once stood.
And we love that for our girls. 🤗
Coach Addie brings more than knowledge of the game to ESP Academy 10U. She brings the experience of knowing what it takes to work hard, be a teammate, overcome the tough moments, and keep showing up. Now she gets the opportunity to pass those lessons along while helping our girls grow both on and off the field.
Outside of softball, Coach Addie recently graduated from Rhodes College and is beginning her first year teaching Biology, Environmental Science, and Chemistry at Neville High School. So whether it’s in the classroom or on the dirt, teaching and investing in the next generation seems to be exactly where this new season has placed her. 🫂
It’s a season with a lot of new beginnings, a lot of responsibility, and a lot of young lives being placed in her path. But we know God has her right where He wants her, and we are grateful our girls get to be part of what He is doing through her. 🙏
We are excited to have her leading, teaching, encouraging, and loving on our girls this season.
Help us show some love to Coach Addie Nickelson! 💙
ONE TEAM. ONE PURPOSE. THE ESP WAY. 🥎💨
