To all the athletes out there trying to gain weight, you can get double rice and double beans at Chipotle for no extra charge. That’s at least 400 extra calories for free.
Eat the free calories.
Get big.
Nobody loves their young athletes more than Coach Sobol. He made A LOT of young people enjoy and love the process of improving their best. Brought a lot of joy to a lot of lives and they’ll all be better for their time with Coach.
Can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done!
Got my first, "What are those tattoos gonna look like when you're 80?"
Well I'll also be rocking converse, skinny jeans, a t-shirt that's a little too tight, and obviously a beautiful beard. So swaggy AF, Susan, that's what they'll look like.

@MOSOSoftball
went 4-0 this weekend to get the sweep, including 3 straight shutouts.
Today, two days later, everyone on the team set a new deadlift PR.
Every. Single. One.
Exceptional people doing exceptional things.
Any time there’s a post about women’s sports (like the WBB Natty) on social media a bunch of *men* make negative comments.
Mostly, a bunch of bros who weren’t good enough to play college sports...
Take a seat, NARP, actual athletes are doing work.
Wild how many random dudes have called me some version of “soft” in the last week, for wearing a mask in public, like I’m not a 6’3” 245 lb strength coach whose only hobbies are lifting weights and getting my elbows tattooed.
The athletes and coaches that are a part of
@UNKbaseball
@UNK_tennis
and
@unk_golf
are some of the best people I have ever met.
My heart is broken for you.
If the GOAT can train to Nickelback I don’t want to hear any complaining about the pandora stations I pick anymore! Did we listen to Meghan Thee Stallion radio last time? Yes. Are we going to listen to that station again this time?? Also yes.
Honored to have gotten to meet
@brendatracy24
and hear her story.
Thank you for the work you do.
Men, it’s time to step up and stop sexual assault and domestic violence. Be the 90%.

The positive impact
@k_cunningham32
has on the young people’s lives she coaches is undeniable. That’s the best and most important part of the job and she is ELITE at it.
We are all better for our time with Coach C.
Love and appreciate you, Coach! Good luck with what’s next!

Seeing all of the badass things women have done in the weight room and in their sports will always be one of my absolute favorite parts of being a strength coach. Thank you, ladies, for letting me have the opportunity to coach you.

140 characters isn’t enough to tell Azure’s story. She overcame more adversity than you can imagine. She embodies every quality you could want in an athlete and human being. She’s sincerely the most positive person I have ever met.
AND she is an absolute badass in the cage.

⚡️Training=Stress! It breaks you ⬇️ from your baseline.
⚡️You must RECOVER from the stress to get back to the baseline!
⚡️Adaptation occurs after good RECOVERY. Your performance goes ⬆️!
⚡️YOU MUST RECOVER TO IMPROVE!
⚡️EAT! HYDRATE! SLEEP!
As you celebrate the Resurrection today please recall that, knowing he would be crucified the next day, Jesus gave this commandment (John13:34)
“Love EVERYONE as I have loved you.”
Not just the people who are like you.
Coach O-Dawg hit an in-the-park home run in slow pitch tonight.
That is the farthest I've sprinted in a few years.
It was a couple hours ago.
I'm still breathing hard.

Brenna has been through way more than her fair share that last couple years. Grit, toughness, perseverance… doesn’t even begin to describe her.

Vote for Abi Corbett! She steals pretty much all the bases, had roughly a bajillion hits, and does a phenomenal job picking Pandora stations for early morning weights.
Thank you,
@Avicii
for turning a lot of really early morning weight rooms into rowdy, weight slamming, PR setting, fun times for me and hundreds of my athletes.
Your music will be blasted at full volume for years to come.

W/O a doubt one of the best parts of my job is witnessing, first hand, all the incredible things women do in sports, and in life, on a daily basis.
Women are changing sports and the world for the better.
Keep making making all these weak, pathetic little boys uncomfortable 💪🏼
