Nikki Malone (Marshall) understands the level of dedication that it takes to elevate the game of soccer. Born and raised in Colorado, Malone didn’t gravitate to soccer until middle school. She had to put in extra time and effort to raise the level of her game. And her effort, paired with her knowledge of the game, took her to new heights: from a Division I scholarship to a professional career to international competition. Malone has gained so much from her soccer experiences, and now she wants to give back to the game by training the next generation of players, building character through sport.
