I guess I got to see the more relaxed side of Coach Reeve's coaching when Ricks became BYUI. If you can call it that! She would walk from court to court and without even looking at the court call someone out on a technical mess-up. I swear she had eyes in the back of her head! She called me "lil' nikki" and made me feel talented the minute we met. Her teaching style and knowlege of volleyball was amazing. She wouldn't find the obvious flaw, she would find the root of the problem and know exactly how to fix it.
But her love for volleyball was what was so contagious to everyone on the court. If you wanted to have a good time, then you found were Coach Reeve was and played volleyball! I do not know of one single person that not only didn't like Coach Reeve but could write 2 pages on what an amazing coach and friend she is. My husband just kept hearing all the good things I was saying about her and had to take a class from her too. He had about the exact same impression and experience as I had. Coach Reeve is the sweetest most genuine person you have ever met and is so so talented at coaching volleyball. I will always hold a special place in my heart for her and hope that someday I can give back in the same way. I honestly believe she is the only reason I improved so much in volleyball and I hope that someday I will get to run up to her again, give her a big hug and kiss and tell her all of this in person. But for now Coach Reeve, please know there is someone across the country that thinks so highly of you that I will never forget your legacy, talent, service and sweet optimism at BYUI! I sure love you! Nicole & Devin Gneiting
