Who We Are: Penn State Hosted By LaVar Arrington With Guest Nick Colella Ep 2. Pt 1 "It Was Worth All The Ups And DSowns

This is “Who We Are: Penn State” — brought to you by the Penn State Alumni Association. A show where distinguished graduates return to share their stories. Where we dig into the moments that shaped them. And where you discover that wearing these colors never really ends. In part one of this two-episode series of WHO WE ARE hosted by LaVar Arrington, Penn State alumnus from 2013 Nick Colella recounts earning a place on Penn State’s men’s basketball team as a walk-on, eventually becoming a scholarship player and captain. He reflects on the sacrifices behind that achievement and how his playing years and decade in coaching shaped his move into athletic administration.

Takeaways:

I just wanted to be a part of a team. I’ll make you guys better.
That guest bathroom that you first walked into the Brad Jordan Center, I just sat there for like every day before practice.
Getting the scholarship was a source of joy for me, as I wanted them to see that, so they wouldn’t need to pay for college anymore.
Perseverance, positive attitude, and determination helped me get through all of that.
I’ve been in the locker room. I know what the team’s going through.
I’ve been on the coaching side for ten years.
You’re building a plane as you’re flying it.
I fell in love with the place when I got here, and I still love it.
