Meet Coach Gervais

It is Nichole's personal mission to help youth build confidence within themselves to see and reach their potential both in their sport AND in their lives. Coach Nichole was always active in sports growing up, especially Track & Field. Nichole graduated with a B.S. in Exercise Science from Bloomsburg University. Coach Nichole is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the NSCA. 


Nichole has 9 years of experience coaching and training both kids and adults. Nichole's focus during speed training is on teaching proper running mechanics during acceleration, top speed, and multi-directional movements to help athletes become more efficient and reduce injuries. In addition to speed and strength training, Nichole also teaches yoga. She now enjoys incorporating yoga into her athletes' programs as a way of active recovery, for both mind and body.


Everything Nichole coaches (strength training, running, yoga) she also practices in her own personal time! Running became a passion at a young age. It taught her how to mentally push and keep going when things are tough. It's also always been a great way to release excess energy. Later she learned that utilizing strength training and yoga, helped her improve her performance in speed, and reduced injuries (especially repetitive low back and knee pains.) When your body is strong and can move well, your speed and overall athleticism will be better!
