The NC NICA Podcast
The official podcast of the North Carolina NICA league. The focus of this podcast is on coaching and team development and everything we do to get #morekidsonbikes! Topics of discussion will range from NICA practice design and activities to issues concerning managing teams to provide student-athletes with the best NICA experience we can provide. We'll also talk about our GRiT, Teen Trail Corps, and Adventure programs, too! Join us as we explore how best to develop positive, confident adults using mountain biking as our tool of choice and hopefully creating a new generation of lifelong mountain bikers in the process!
