Testimonials
Coach Grayson is the embodiment of the term "Player's Coach"! He played the game at a high level and knows how to convey the skills and emotions this game requires to players in a relatable way. I always knew I could go to Coach for guidance on or off the field!
On top of that Coach Grayson knows how to foster a championship culture on a team. He held us to a high standard and held us accountable but also knew EXACTLY how to keep the game fun!
Football is a game of great passion snd a a player, I felt Coach Grayson's passion for the game every single day on the field, in the weight room, or in the film room! I'm blessed to still feel Coach Grayson's passion for LIFE as he remained a close friend ans mentor in my time since leaving Montini!

"Coach Nichols was a leader that I never realized I truly needed. He challenged me and guided me in aspects of life outside of just basketball.
He was a big part of my college recruitment process, which resulted in me committing, and spending 4 years at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
To this day, I still reach out to him looking for advice and appreciate the lasting relationship we’ve built through basketball."

"Under his guidance, we went on to win the 1st ever women’s basketball state championship in Montini Catholic High School history in 2010 (and again in 2011). Coach Nichols prepared me immensely for the next level and I ultimately received a full-ride to the University of Notre Dame, where I played for Coach Muffet McGraw from 2012-2015. The way Coach Nichols understands the game is incredible. He is not only a smart coach, but also someone you want to play and win for. His connections in the women’s basketball world is also very notable. I couldn’t have asked for a better coach who prepared me for the next level, both as a basketball player and as a student."
Whitney Holloway - Notre Dame '15
“Coach Nichols is a great coach and person to help with your recruiting process. Coach Nichols helped me throughout my high school career and setting up college visits that we felt were best for me and my career. I told him what I type of college I was looking for, distance from home, along with the type of coach that would be best for my playing style and personality. He really cares about his players and making sure their needs are met. If it wasn't for him I would not have gone to the number one school in the country at the time, UCONN. It's all about trusting the process and being patient in making sure you are making the right decision for you. Coach Nichols is someone that I felt that I could trust and lead me in the right direction"
