Nicole McCoy

Junior, Western

When and why did you start playing your sport?

I started riding horses when I was 8. I have always loved them and was determined to get one when I was younger. My mom grew up with them and loved them as well.

What is your favorite team memory at Baylor?

My favorite team memory was a retreat that we had with the whole team earlier this year. It was a great opportunity to get to know everyone really well, which can be hard with such a big team.

What made you want to come and play for Coach White?

When I came and visited I fell in love with the campus, and after meeting with Coach White I felt like everything just fit.

What is your favorite position/part of your sport?

I ride both the reining and the horsemanship on the western side, and I really enjoy both of them. I grew up riding in the horsemanship and picked up reining when I got to Baylor which I have really enjoyed learning.

What other activities do you enjoy, besides your sport?

I'm from Colorado and grew up skiing, so it's something that I do any chance I get.
