North Carolina State assistant coach Mallory Houchin is stepping down to focus on being a full-time mom.<\/p>\n

The Wolfpack program released two open letters about the move:<\/p>\n

From NC State Swimming and Diving Head Coach\u00a0Braden Holloway<\/dfn>:<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

“It is with much happiness that I inform the Wolfpack Nation of Mallory Houchin<\/strong>‘s decision to be a full-time mom. We are so happy for her, as we know she now begins her biggest and most rewarding job and journey. But, we are sad to see her leave our program, as she has been with us every step of the way on this amazing turnaround and transformation for this program. She has been the rock for me and by my side for seven years. I thank her for her huge role with our teams, as we could not have accomplished our goals and achievements without her guidance. She is such a quality person, coach, friend, and now mother, and I am glad she recognized her calling for her children and family. Please join me and the staff on congratulating Mallory on her next big chapter in life!”
\n<\/span>
\nFrom Houchin:<\/b>
\n
\n<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Wolfpack Family,<\/p>\n

It is with extremely mixed emotions that I announce my decision to take a break from coaching to spend time at home with my family. For the last seven years, I have been fortunate to have one of the BEST jobs, with the most talented team in the NCAA and the hardest working staff in the country.\u00a0 For the last three years, I have been extremely lucky to be a mom, which is a huge blessing and an AMAZING job in itself! Staying at home was not something I saw myself doing before having kids. However, the desire has been growing ever since I had Calvin.\u00a0 I cannot ignore my heart’s longing to be home with my kids anymore.<\/p>\n

The last few weeks have been very challenging as my husband and I looked into what staying at home will look like. The hardest part is leaving an incredible job that I am so lucky to have and a career that many coaches dream of.\u00a0 It is painful to leave a coaching staff that has been so supportive of me as a mother, and especially the athletes that I have had the privilege to work with.\u00a0 There is no doubt that I have the perfect job! I can tell you this decision did not come quickly, easily, or without tears.<\/p>\n

I want to thank all of the Wolfpack Nation for the opportunity to walk beside you on this transformative journey over the last seven years. It has been a JOY to work with you!\u00a0 I never felt like I had a “job” – everyday was a blast! I love NC State, and I will ALWAYS cheer for the Pack.<\/p>\n

Though I am sad to be leaving, I am very excited for the next chapter in my life, and I hope you will still be part of it! I am not leaving Raleigh. I will still be around for support. You all have been part of my family from day one, and I couldn’t be more thankful for you.<\/p>\n

I love you all dearly and wish nothing but the best.\u00a0 I know you will be in great hands, as you have an incredible leader and the best staff in the nation.\u00a0 Thank you for everything you have done for me and my family. We will always be cheering for the Pack!<\/p>\n

Much love,
