Provencial, originally from Florida, pursued a career in nursing after graduating from Duke with a master’s degree in nursing in 2016. Her passion for healthcare and clinical research shines through in her work as a family nurse practitioner. The couple’s love story unfolded on social media, with Scheyer making their engagement public in 2014 after a significant Duke game. The duo tied the knot in 2017, celebrating their union and Provencial’s 30th birthday with heartfelt messages of love and appreciation.
As Scheyer’s coaching career progressed, Provencial stood steadfastly by his side, both at Duke games and in her role as a registered nurse in Durham, North Carolina. Their shared commitment to the Duke community is evident in their creation of the Scheyer Family Kid Captain Program, an initiative that brings joy to children at Duke Children’s Hospital by involving them in game day activities with the basketball team.
Provencial’s unwavering support for her husband’s coaching journey mirrors her hope that Scheyer continues to lead the Duke men’s basketball team for years to come. She admires his dedication to the program, having spent 12 years as a player and now as head coach, following in the footsteps of the legendary Coach K. Provencial’s pride in Scheyer’s accomplishments shines through as she describes watching him coach at Duke as a “dream come true.”
The couple’s shared values and commitment to family, community, and each other continue to inspire those around them. Their story serves as a testament to love, resilience, and the power of teamwork both on and off the basketball court. As they navigate the demands of coaching, nursing, and parenthood, Scheyer and Provencial remain a beacon of strength and unity within the Duke community and beyond.
