"What Growth Costs is a compelling and honest testimony of how dreams can become reality, and of the beauty found in lessons after loss. Wise beyond her years, Noelle penned this thought-provoking memoir through the lens of failure and experience-allowing her vulnerability to be a catalyst for others on their journey of healing. This book will not only inspire, it will change your outlook and propel you into your destiny."

"What Growth Costs is a beautifully written, candid, and emotional memoir that delves into the life of a high school girls' basketball coach who is determined to make a difference in the lives of her student athletes; but, at what cost? This memoir recounts true stories about the journey of some of her athletes' struggles, heartbreaks, and losses. Coach Noelle cracks herself open and invites you into her very own heart-wrenching journey of loss, grief, and discovery as she realizes her true calling. At the end of this memoir, Coach Noelle leaves you reflecting on your life's purpose as she obliquely encourages you to search for lessons taught and lessons learned."
-D. C. Palm
"Having known Noelle since she was 9 years old, I can say everything in this book is sincere and heartfelt. She's one of the most insightful and visionary people I've ever known, and her words will surely help anyone looking to grow into a better version of themselves."
-Steven Hunter, Former NBA Player & Founder of Steven Hunter Life Skills & Basketball Academy
"This book is for anyone who has ever led with a heavy heart or tried to keep going while quietly falling apart. It's for leaders, for the grieving, for the healing, for the strong ones who sometimes feel weak. You'll find yourself in these pages if you've ever had to be strong for others while silently wishing someone would be strong for you. What Growth Costs speaks to the whole you-the real you."
-Tamara Gardner, Educator, Advocate, and Founder of S.T.T.E.A.M.ed
"If you're wondering what a girls' basketball coach could possibly have to offer you, read a couple pages. I dare you. Don't be surprised if your eyes fill with tears and your heart fills with wonder."
-Dwight Clough, Author, How to Fix Everything
