UVUphoria!

Hi to all my favorite players! I thought for my blog contribution I would update you on all of the fun happenings here at your school. Yesterday and today was the big celebration for our official name change to Utah Valley University. Last night was a concert (Josh Grasin, Collin Raye, and Joe Nichols - : ) for all the country girls). It was fun and there were over 15,000 people at the baseball stadium to see it. They let people sit on the baseball field in the outfield on blankets and in the bleachers. After they had fireworks and a dance (of course I stayed and did some amazing dancing!)

We got a new sign on the outside of the McKay Center and it is very cool. It lights up at night and can be seen from way far away. It stands out so much and everyone who drives by knows where UVU is!

Coach Larson is still here in town but has started on her transition to South Dakota. (Lauren came by today so we took a picture.

We have a new assistant, Danielle Cheesman. Many of you have met her and she is excited to get to know all of you better. She will be recruiting with Coach B and me this month and will be working hard to help us build our amazing program.

Some of my family is coming in from Texas for the 4th of July and we are all excited to see the Wolverines (Kayla, Kim, and Asumi) performing in front of 65,000 people at the Stadium of Fire. Miley Cyrus has nothing on those girls.

Please let me know if you haven't gotten your workouts and nutrition infomation from Dave at AMP. Hopefully you all got it and are working hard to prepare for our season that is coming so fast. We have an awesome schedule (even though it isn't quite finished) and we play some tough teams but noone is tougher than the Wolverines at our best!

I love you all and hope you are doing great.

Coach Nixon
