Nick Alexander Bio Continued...
“Softball, like other team sports, teaches skills beyond athletics,” Alexander said. “Hard work, commitment, dedication, and teamwork will help the athletes to succeed on and off the diamond. One of my goals is to provide the Falcons with a structure to help them succeed.”
Alexander joined the Falcons as an assistant in 2021, stepping in as interim head coach during Tiffany Pratt’s maternity leave. His leadership during that stretch led to his promotion the following year.
“His leadership stood out as he stepped up to guide the Falcons while Coach Pratt was on leave,” Good Counsel Athletic Director Steve Howes said. “Coach Alexander has embraced the Good Counsel way, and I’m excited to see the program grow under his guidance.”
Alexander’s coaching journey began with the Montgomery Village Sports Association Storm select softball teams, where he coached from 2015 to 2019. His daughters played for the Storm, competing in East Coast tournaments. He later coached the 18U Clarksburg Crush in 2019 and 2020.
“Fastpitch softball is an exciting and demanding game,” Alexander said. “Due to a compressed field of play, hitting and fielding reaction times in fastpitch softball are faster, requiring quicker reactions and movements. At Good Counsel, we prepare to compete by exercising "discipline in the little things" and approaching what we do, in all facets, with intention.”
Alexander attended high school in Southern California, playing football, basketball, volleyball, and baseball. He earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from UCLA in 1996 and a juris doctorate from the University of Southern California Gould School of Law in 1999. He is the director of intergovernmental affairs for a federal regulatory agency.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Alexander lives in Gaithersburg, MD., with his wife, Grace Cheng. They have two daughters, Aniko and Julia, and a son, Ben. Aniko is a sophomore infielder at Wellesley College and a former All-Met honorable mention. Julia was a three-year varsity starter at Quince Orchard High School.
