One of the athletes I work with Sam has been diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma - a rare and aggressive type of cancer. We are raising funds to help her family manage during this incredibly difficult period. Please donate or share Sam’s story. #samstrong gofundme.com/f/t6du2h-samst…

@MondoSport_USA What a diverse lineup of speakers you all got there! 🙄 …Seriously, disappointing.

There is still time to register for Mondo's (free!) Strength & Conditioning Clinic on Saturday, January 18, at the Athletic Lab Performance Center in Morrisville, North Carolina. For more information and to register, click here: bit.ly/3VRxTWH

@waw_jr_ 😂 I don’t post on Twitter for engagement, but I sure got your undivided attention.

@CoachAja21 Your posts don’t get much attention, you should be grateful, I’m helping with both your grammar and your engagement.

Why do so many male-strength coaches only link hard physical exercise to mental toughness… as if there aren't multiple factors which contribute mental and emotional resilience? Hmm, it’s almost like they've never gone to therapy🌝. But don’t let me hold you. Rep it out Bro.

@waw_jr_ You can put a hyphen between an adjective and a noun or subject. And I did. There’s no reason for your comment yet here we are.

@CoachAja21 There’s no reason for the dash between male and strength.

@coach_mel_redd 😂😂 you poor thing!!

@CoachAja21 Footage of me working out

As a person with asthma who can’t use an inhaler due to an allergy to the med.. I would love to know what working out with an inhaler feels like.

A lot of these red pill bros will REFUSE to observe someone’s pronouns but will correct you QUICK if you don’t refer to Twitter as “X”, and I just find that so fascinating. 😂

@coach_mel_redd Exactly why I used the word “reported” we do not know. And probably won’t at this point. Gets back also to the part of the under-reporting that’s even more prevalent in HS and College sports 😔

@CoachAja21 How many did he have in HS and college?

Interested to hear other coaches weigh in on Tagovailoa being urged to retire after his 3rd (reported) concussion in his career. With what we know about brain injuries/long term damage, including CTE and the prevalence of concussions in both contact and non contact 👇🏾

sports, including times athletes suffer concussions & don’t report/ get treatment for it… Are the calls to retire smart? Have we started to take athlete long-term health more seriously? What example does this set for young athletes watching?

is the athletes, we are doing a great disservice to those athletes by not properly communicating training frequency, injuries and other information meant to keep these kids safe. But a lot of y’all aren’t doing it for the kids anymore and that’s apparent.😐

Travel / AAU coaches/ Trainers/ S+Cs should be responsible for keeping open lines of communication between themselves and their athletes’ HS sport coaches when that athlete is in season, even if for another sport. If the priority …👇🏽(con’t)…

And ALL S+C programs should cover and cater to a variety of movement planes, patterns and energy system requirements. Because life also exists outside of sport - especially at the HS level.

Reminder that it’s more important that the strength and conditioning workouts actually get your athletes stronger and better conditioned rather than be “sport specific”. Not much transfers over to sport better than enhanced strength/ power/ aerobic capacity. 👇🏾

I dare you to mention a 10/10 non alcoholic drink

@SynergySPGB @fitsoccerqueen @SandyFragale @ndagirlsbball @lesliebonci @soccerherform as an ongoing effort. You did a good job finding NINE professionals. Not one of these women could connect to a coach of color who might be a good fit? I have to wonder how much a diverse panel was an initial thought or priority. Hopefully that changes in the future. 2/2

@SynergySPGB @fitsoccerqueen @SandyFragale @ndagirlsbball @lesliebonci @soccerherform While I’m happy to hear you’d have “no problem” in having a woman of color…and appreciate the response/ invite, if you truly valued having Black and POC voices be a part of this conference there are SO many avenues + networks to actively pursue. And not just for this event, 1/2

On Thursday we get to his this great group of woman. @fitsoccerqueen @SandyFragale @ndagirlsbball @lesliebonci @soccerherform and others who I don’t have their Twitter @

@B_Chantos @Mr_davisj @coach_mel_redd Thanks for being open to it. That’s part of the solution. 🤝🏽

@Mr_davisj @CoachAja21 @coach_mel_redd Thanks for feedback

Let’s have an honest chat here. Was having this conversation with some coaching friends offline, and I want input here. How come we don’t see any black coaches or trainers on many of these popular podcast? Not race baiting, simply asking a question.

@B_Chantos @coach_mel_redd @Mr_davisj DEI literally aims to put into action programs, policies, and strategies that aim to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment. Bc we know it’s not for a lack of effort on the part of Black coaches and coaches of color.

@B_Chantos @coach_mel_redd @Mr_davisj Solution is dismantling the systems that allow these issues to perpetuate. We do that with education, and knowledge. Some ppl get bent out of shape when they hear the term DEI but that’s exactly what is needed. I think mostly bc they have a poor understanding of what it is.
