Just realizing that my three roommates from freshman year of college are now all married (two with kids) while I just won $20 for eating a cheeseburger under a minute. Everyone has their thing
I am truly thankful for the opportunity to continue to help young student athletes grow into amazing individuals. Time to get to work!

No one likes Monday’s so hold the door for someone, pay for a stranger’s coffee, reach out to an old friend, tell your parents you love them. Small acts of kindness can change someone’s day.

Thanking God because I never thought this day would come! After two long years and a lot of ups and downs, I’m so happy and proud to have completed my Masters Degree today! 🍾👩🏼🎓
So unbelievably proud of this group. What a great way to celebrate them as we reached 10 wins last night which has only been done twice in the last 20 years. Best part is we aren’t done yet.

Dear Lord,
May you remember the dream you gave me, the passion you put into my heart and the courage you instilled in me. Give me the wisdom and the patience to help these student-athletes be the best they can be while staying injury free.
Amen.
Now, let’s get to work.
So many emotions flowing through thinking about Coach Rhoades retiring. I’ve learned so much about the game and what it takes to coach at a high level every single day. I’ll forever cherish the three years I got to coach with you. Best of luck in your next endeavor! 💙💙

Being called “coach” is still new to me and each time it reminds me of the responsibility that comes with that title. I’m thankful to be given the opportunity to change lives and to be a good role model to players along this journey.

Waking up the first of every month is exciting, new month, new beginning, new mindset, new start, etc yeah? And then you pay all of your bills and realize you’re left with like $10 to live off of.
Can I resign from being an adult now? The fun is over.
Happy birthday to one of the best guys I know. I’m lucky I get to learn from the best in the biz.

First day of preseason workouts in the books, and I am extremely proud of the energy and effort that everyone brought. Going to be a fun group this year! 🏀💪🏼

I was just standing in line to get coffee and was asked what I think of my high school teachers this year... I replied, well I teach a few college courses and I think I’m pretty awesome. The look on his face was priceless 😂🤷🏼♀️
Just overhead a man talking to his wife about their daughter. Said - “this is when parenting gets hard, but she will never learn and grow from this if we don’t allow her to fail. We just need to be here to love & support her when it happens.” WOW. The world needs more of this! 👏🏼
Congratulations to my sister for being named District Coach Of The Year in Missouri. Truly one of the best out there, so well deserved!

My parents are telling me about their first date and how they got into a thumb war battle which ended up lasting hours because neither of them wanted to accept defeat. This explains so much
Visited Lower Merion High School where the GOAT - Kobe Bryant attended. He was my biggest inspiration as a kid.
Reminder to self: always have Mamba Mentality. 🩶
We may be repping different schools now, but our bond remains strong. Today was special. I’m thankful I get to continue learning from the best there is! 🏀

I sure am going to miss Baldwin City, but I will always be a Wildcat at heart! ❤️❤️
With two BIG wins tonight, the Wildcats swept Benedictine inside the Collins Center! The last time this happened was January 20, 2016!! Here are some photos from both nights!

Fun day hearing a panel of amazing women share their stories about their journey to becoming an entrepreneur. Excited to see some of these students become leaders in the business industry someday.
