The second head coach in Pepperdine beach volleyball history has coached at the highest levels of the sport, including leading arguably the best team ever (Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor) to an Olympic gold medal.
However, Marcio Sicoli knows that filling the shoes of iconic Pepperdine coach Nina Matthies will be no easy task.
“One of the words that comes to my head is I’m terrified,” Sicoli said. “Of course, there is the excitement, but I’m terrified because there is a lot of lights and dreams on my hands right now.”
