ABOUT
Hey,
I'm Nicole!
I'm a Canadian Professional Squash Association player (career-high world ranking #39), NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Precision Nutrition L1 Coach, obsessed with the pursuit of inner excellence — on and off the court.
I also love wearing short shorts, curling up on the couch in a full grey sweatsuit (the "gr-outfit"), and rewatching Band of Brothers or basically any Amanda Bynes movie.
WHERE IT STARTED
From soccer fields to Princeton's courts
My parents played recreationally — still do, actually — so I grew up hanging around the courts before I ever picked up a racquet myself. I started playing once a week at 10, then twice, then three or four times by 13 — which is when I had to make the call to leave soccer, my main sport up to that point, and commit to squash.
Princeton recruited me from there, and I left in 2015 as an All-American with a Biology degree. I didn't expect to go pro — most college squash players don't. But a strong final season, and a push from a pro I met after moving to NYC, changed that.
THE TURNING POINT
Training smart, not just hard
Right after graduating, while training clients full-time in NYC, I was also rehabbing a knee surgery and recovering from a car accident. Learning to train smart — not just hard — is what got me back on court, and it's the same principle every program I build is based on today.
Since 2015, I've coached juniors, Masters players, and everyone in between, all while competing on the PSA World Tour myself.
STILL CHASING
The pursuit isn't finished — I'm still living it
This isn't just something I coach — it's something I'm still actively pursuing. I'm the 2025 Canadian Champion, a two-time Pan Am Games 2023 medalist, and the 2024 Pan American Individual Champion, with a career-high world ranking of #39.
Right now, I'm training toward LA 2028 — squash's Olympic debut. Everything I ask my students to commit to, I'm committing to myself: the training, the discipline, the process, chasing the best version of myself on the way to that goal.
THE WHY
This was never just about squash
What I actually care about is excellence — understanding what drives people to become excellent, and what it takes to get there. The daily actions. The mental habits. The obstacles people have to work through to become who they're capable of being.
Squash and fitness are just the lens I use to help people pursue it. Getting stronger or better on court is the outcome — pursuing the best version of yourself is the actual point. That's why I train, why I compete, and why I do this work.
ABOUT SQUASHLETIC
Building it taught me the same thing I coach
Squashletic started during Covid — I had the time, and I was looking for something else to work on. But what kept me in it was how much I genuinely loved the process of building something. And the more I sat with that, the more I realized it isn't so different from building your best self. There's always something to improve, in a business or in yourself.
Putting together a plan. Getting immersed in it. Watching it start to produce results. The small things you discover about yourself along the way. That's the real joy — not the finished product. The result is just the icing on the cake.
That's true whether it's a business, a month of training, a single match, or your life overall. Learn to enjoy the process, and you've already got the meaningful part.
What started as a 10-day challenge for squash players stuck at home during lockdown has grown into an app (think Peloton, but for squash players) and a full 1:1 coaching practice — both built to help you fall in love with your own process.
