Welcome to the official blogsite for American Track and Field athlete and lawyer, Nicole Marie Leach, Esq. ("Nikki").

Faithfully Driven is about the journey of Nikki's past experiences and future endeavors as she takes the last few steps in acheiving her childhood goals of becoming an Olympic gold medalist and an influential sport's attorney. 

It was not until the two-timed NCAA Champion gave up on track and field that she began to truly understand the meaning walking by faith. After a few mediocre years as a professional athlete sponsored by NIKE, Nikki quit the sport to attend Temple University Beasley School of Law.  It was during law school where Nikki learned that, while her hard work was important, she would never accomplish her goals until she completely relinquished control to God. She had to be driven by faith alone.

Thus, Nikki has found her way back into the sport of track and field and has recently graduated from law school. But this is only part of her story. While training to earn an Olympic gold medal in the women's 400m hurdles at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro Nikki also studied for the February 2016 Pennsylavania Bar exam and passed. 

Stay tuned to hear more about her ups and downs and how she has grown comfortable with relying on her faith in God to attain her goals.
