The separation in Collegiate shouldn't be online vs in-person
The separation should be - Club vs Funded.
I did club soccer in college - I would have been pissed if I had to play our actual D1 soccer players
Instead I got to play vs other randoms that were at the same school
Sadly, at 96 my grandmother has passed.
I was fortunate to grow up not only being raised by my mother but my two wonderful grandparents.
Thank you for driving me to school when I missed the bus, paying for my music lessons and most of all being a second mom. You will be
On July 18th I will be leaving Bay State.
Any questions can be sent to my DMs on Twitter or Discord.
My students are being well taken care of and their needs are being handled. It has been a pleasure to work with each and every one of them. Stay tuned!
5 years married and counting; almost 13 years together
Thanks for being my globetrotting partner, my rock and most importantly my partner in crime 💪 ❤️
So begins the great travel quest of getting 70 people from 22 cities across North America
Let’s do this - my anxiety has been at max for 6 days but a lot less then last year now that we use an agent 💪
I’m happy to officially post I will also be at
@Fisher_Esports

I’m excited to work with all our returning students,
@Little_B_Man
and
@FC_CoachDrake
once more. Let’s run it back but even better this time
4 more lb till recomp phase
This is the first time since 5th grade my weight has started with a “16X”
In 6th grade I wrestled at a 175 weight class
Here’s to our health 💪
Damn 😔 failed the dream again
I’ll get it right next year but this one doesn’t sting as bad as last year.
Proud of all my students this weekend - they earned their spots and proved they are some of the best in the world
40 new fisher students start on Tuesday
What an incredible journey it has been to get to this point helping so many players earn an education.
Here is to a fantastic semester 🥳
One of my female students once told me “I don’t talk in game because when I talk in ranked people find out I’m a girl and will harass or throw”
My heart sank - that’s why I’m excited to have Bay State as one of the first partners in the program!!
We are thrilled to launch The*gameHERs Collegiate Program with our college & university partners. Find your people, make connections & get support finding your career path in the gaming industry.Join the collegiate discord and/or become a partner today!
Ignoring the dirty scale
Phase 3 ✅ : this is the least I’ve weighed since late middle school/early high school
This comes on the heels that I will be meeting someone very special this evening
Hardest sessions start now💪
What a fantastic year it has been and it’s only February
Forgot to post this but happy 4 years of being married/11 years together to this lovely lady - absolute saint for putting up with me and my workaholic ass
Tomorrow is going to be an absolute shit show in the best way possible
Going to be sitting in the airport beyond nervous wondering how we got 40 people to Texas 😵💫
Gonna be a longgggggg day
Yeahhh this is the stuff that I hope to bring to the table when I head to the NACE conference this summer
Advocating for students is always my
#1
priority - it really feels as if
@nacestarleague
focuses too much on WHERE competition takes place over integrity and competitive
I am officially on my first vacation in three years
I have decided to turn off discord for as long as possible while I am away
Bets on how long it takes for me to look at discord the first time while I am away
Man the worst part
I’ve seen discourse complaining about us having multiple teams
And 0 about TAMU and SCC
Imma be the one to say it then
Congrats
@TAMUEsports
and
@SaintsGamingCA
for giving multiple students opportunities to play collegiate and be competitive

Welcome to the CVAL Double Elimination Stage 🤝
These teams are going head-to-head in their respective regional brackets to earn the title of Fall Regional Champions 👑
Check out the brackets ⬇️
Officially back under 200 lb. Phase 2 complete.
The last time I was under 200 was after I got sick and forcibly reduced my calorie intake.
Here’s to phase 3 - high school weight of 180
If I see another message about schools have to play during spring break imma scream
Yes👏 you 👏.play. 👏 just 👏.like. 👏 traditional. 👏 sports
clubs I get but…if you’re gonna call yourself a varsity program you gotta expect to play during break
It’s basically year 10…
It’s not much but
If you can do 1 you can do 26.2
For someone who has never been physically fit doing a sub 10 minute mile is a goal I wanted to achieve and can now say I’ve done it 🥂

@ECAC_Esports
had over 100 students in TFT tonight
They have done a fantastic job in getting under-represented games a home : with TFT, Madden, FIFA, 2K, SF6, MK1, and Hearthstone have dedicated seasons that no other leagues offer. This is a step in the right direction 💪
Forgot to post the famous bacon covered turkey yesterday
This is a Colaiacomo Thanksgiving tradition - my mother has been doing this for my entire life 💪
Down 30 lb as of today after 6 weeks of training 💪
Here’s to another 35 lb to reach my target weight 🫡 and under 17% BF
Huge shoutout to my students
@kndthei

Wahhh Wahh - gaming community is toxic but I’m not open to discourse or communication and will turn off the comments to my tweets and wonder why nobody likes me. Wahhh
Unable to surprise my students and make it to Smash Con this year due to unfortunate circumstances
Good luck to all current Fisher students competing and to those we have yet to announce for the fall. I will be watching from home!
Make us proud; be proud - go win

I think imma make a collage of my students saying "yo"

Happy 99th birthday to my grandfather
Insane to make it to his age and still have his wits and energy
Even though grandma is gone, he’s still going strong 💪❤️
All, but one of my teams has at least one international student
This means that at some point during playoffs, assuming they make it at least one of my players will need to play from another country
Our final exams is the first week in May : every other game and conference has

Other leagues. Take note.
I was waiting to make a post about it after Atlanta
Sadly, on the way down this weekend, I was sent news that my childhood cat, Tigeress, passed away.
She was an absolute fighter - having asthma her whole life and told she wouldn’t make it past 2 years old. 1/?

Completely separate competition - 16 D1 schools working with their traditional conference
With some schools in both the community will be relying on their feedback
NECC knocking it out of the park again
Great to see the first ever collegiate based tournament reach at least a B tier ranking.
Great experience for all involved to be running a tournament of this caliber
Thank you
@EsportsUGaming
for working with our students 💪
Reminder big schools started as small schools back in the day
Your funding comes from wins that matter - if your program is under athletics ofc they are going to care about beating a Big10 team over some random NAIA school
YOU NEED TO BE THE ADVOCATE OF YOUR STORY
For those that are hosting LANs this year and in the future
The best time to purchase airline tickets for the cheapest price is 7 weeks before the trip
Please - help the colleges with lower budgets out using this knowledge

It’s always a pleasure visiting high schools, local to Boston💪
Connecticut is doing something right having so many wonderful students at the event this weekend ☺️

She went on to live for 22 long years. Full of energy she loved Turkey, Bacon, crab Rangoon and most of all Mayo
She will be missed. It’s Honestly taken some time to even process she’s gone having lived for most of my life.
RIP Tigeress. You’re with your brother now ❤️❤️❤️
I looked at a small, D1 school in terms of athletics.
490 students with 93 employees. Roughly 1 staff member per 5 students in the program. This includes all games on campus. Median Full-time Salary 48,000/year

@playvs
Everytime I open up PlayVS, I have a deep sign, crack my knuckles and die a little inside
This is what success feels like. I’ve told 5 different schools that if they let me do what I do I will bring them championships. 2 laughed at me and 3 told me they didn’t believe because they didn’t understand. Then
@BayStateEsports
came and man…making big moves y’all.
This week is always special as it’s my grandparents anniversary (75th), grandfathers birthday (98th) and Father’s Day
Congrats to these two - spending a lifetime together isn’t easy yet love kept them going ❤️
Absolutely incredible achievement
@BroKenSSB
Source? Cause that’s not true at all - of the 126 students across our 9 titles; 4 are management majors with a concentration in esports (you can also do the traditional sports management route)

Fortunately, there weren’t many teams that were carried by Steve players however, there are a few
this affects College recruitment as lots of Steve players were young, looking to go to college
