With his naming as Head Coach, Nick Braakman returns to Terrasvogels.
In 2013 and 2014, he already was a member of the coaching-staff.
Together with Linda Hoenderdos, Braakman then assisted then-Head Coach Marco Molleman.
In 2013, the team captured the Dutch championship-title, as well as the European Cup Winners Cup.
This season, Braakman led the women-softballteam of HCAW in the Silver League, whom he guided to third place in the Promotion Pool.
Before coming to Terrasvogels in 2013, Braakman also has been active as a Head Coach and then led the softballteam of Hilversum Hurricanes.
In the past, Braakman also had been one of the coaches of the Netherlands Under-14 Softball Team.
A year ago, Rob Walgien took over as Head Coach, returning to the club where he already had been in charge in 1993-1999.
This season, Terrasvogels returned again to the Play-Offs to play for the Dutch championship-title.
