I started training with Nicol a year before my first Ironman, and she taught me to have endurance and to push through even when it is hard. We became friends throughout the journey and today I have a great friend, training buddy, and the best support to be the best version of myself. – Ybilandie Visser

I met Coachie (Nicol) mid 2022. Had coffee with her because I was a little skeptical if I would be able to do a triathlon. She encouraged me to start and there is not one second I have looked back. I have completed multiple triathlon races in the last year. Even in the toughest workouts Nicol’s enthusiastic personality and passion for triathlon are displayed and it truly is amazing to be part of her training group. She leads by example and pushes us to the max but always has time for a laugh and to be a friend when needed. – Joe Van Zyl

I’ve always been a runner and was looking for a new challenge to set myself. Enter the world of triathlon! I was a complete newbie to cycling and open-water swimming, but these 2 sports added such value to my running. Being in a supportive group coached setting helped immensely and through the guidance of Nicol we’ve made it possible to achieve the goals that I set out to do. I’ve truly loved the journey thus far! – Suzanne Hille
