Hey Everyone,

I hope you are all having a great summer. It was so fun to see so many of you during June at our camps. We missed those of you who couldn't come but had a great time and successful camps with those of you who were here.

Our new assistant is Liz Darger. She got thrown into being a UVU coach last week when we went on the road recruiting to Portland and Seattle. Coach Darger (which is a very hard name for Asumi to say : ) is awesome and I am so excited for all of you to meet her. She is already working hard for you and is a great addition to our 'team'.

I have had a busy, fun summer. We had lots to do with hiring a new assistant and planning for camps but it was fun and rewarding. Sprinkled in with the work has been some fun. My family has a cabin near Jackson Hole, Wyoming and I have been able to go there a couple of times. We have had a blast being together with family, hiking, fishing, watching amazing animals (like deer, elk, moose, eagles) up close. It is my favorite place in the world and I wanted to share some pictures with you.

(Some of my cousins and me hiking in some beautiful mountains right by our cabin.)

(We all hiked to this amazing lake near the Tetons. Saw a moose just right before we took this picture!)

I am so proud of all the hard work you are putting in this summer. I know it will pay off for our team. Thanks for being such dedicated, motivated teammates. It is going to be an amazing year. The game schedule for this upcoming season is almost done. We are going to have some FUN!!!

We sure miss having all of you around here. Not that Coach B and Coach Darger are boring but we do miss you!


I am so grateful for all of you and hope you are having a great summer. Keep up the good work. Time goes quickly so we have to make sure to live each day to its fullest.


Have a great day.


Coach Nixon

Hey everyone! Well I want to apologize I completely slacked and did not write my blog last month! Don't worry I'll fill you all in now :D Well as I'm sure all of you know I broke my foot in May at Dave's, and I was told I needed to get surgery and get a screw put in because it's prone to breaking again without something to support it. So I got surgery the beginning of June, I can't believe it's already been over a month! I was in crutches for about four weeks...never break something where you will have to use crutches they are no fun! But I've been walking with a boot on for about four weeks now so I've been riding the bike to get my leg back to where it was as much as possible with it on, it's so wonderful to walk again! Even though it's been pretty tough, breaking my foot has made me really appreciate little things like jogging, being able to stand in the shower, and I could just go on forever! So don't take walking and stuff for granted! Nothing else besides that has been too exciting, I've just been catching up with old friends and seeing lots of them get engaged, pregnant, and married, weird! and hanging out with my wonderful family, you also take them for granted when you live with them for so long! Anyways I love summer but I miss you all and can't wait to get to know all you freshman, so anytime anyone wants to do anything let me know! I love you all and see you soon!
