Nicole Denes—known as Coach Nic—is one of the most respected pitching coaches in the country, blending her elite playing experience with a deep understanding of sports psychology. A former University of Oklahoma pitcher and professional athlete, Coach Nic has spent over a decade developing top-tier softball pitchers, helping them refine their mechanics, increase velocity, and build unshakable confidence in the circle.

But what sets her apart? Her expertise goes beyond mechanics.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and the mental performance coach for the OKC Spark, she specializes in helping athletes strengthen their mindset, manage pressure, and develop the mental resilience needed to perform at the highest level.

Her approach is backed by experience, science, and results—equipping athletes not just to throw harder, but to compete with confidence every time they step on the field.
