Rachel Hoops Hits NCAA Mark; Otters PR in a Big Way at Prestigious Bryan Clay otterathletics.com/news/2026/4/17…

Comparison is something I've had to fight hard. And for a long time I didn't even realize what I was really doing. Every time I looked at someone else's life, their team, their title, their success, I was quietly telling God He made a mistake with mine. But here's what I've learned: you cannot be grateful and comparing at the same time. I believe they cannot coexist. So today I want to challenge you — stop auditing someone else's blessing. Your calling, your story, your design is not an accident. God doesn't make mistakes. 🎙️: Lifestyle Podcast

30 years ago I was the starting QB at Utah State University. My senior year I got benched. For the next 15 years I walked around feeling like a certified loser. Then I read this quote from Pat Summitt: 'Winning is fun… Sure. But winning is not the point. Wanting to win is the point. Not giving up is the point. Never letting up is the point. Never being satisfied with what you’ve done is the point.' It snapped me out of it. If you’re still carrying a sports setback, a benching, a missed opportunity, or any “I’m not enough” story… this is your permission slip to drop it. The game isn’t over. Your story is not yet written. You are still a work in progress. The point is you keep wanting it. You keep getting up. And you listen to that quiet voice that says, "I will try again tomorrow."

No, it’s not the two, 25-30 minute weight room sessions a week where athletes encounter force in a controlled environment hurting your volleyball player’s back. It’s the: -10+ hours a week of practice with bad mechanics on bad surfaces -Random running -No days off mentality -Lack of nutrition and sleep to facilitate recovery But go on and get that 2 weeks no weight room full go on court note as the injury carousel takes another turn.

A stronger sense of purpose is associated with a longer life.

The best thing you'll listen to today is Utah Jazz Head Coach Will Hardy talking about the tax of being a leader: 🏋 Leadership is not a position you hold—it’s a responsibility you carry. The weight isn’t in the title, it’s in the people who trust you with their time, energy, and belief. 📊 Before metrics, before outcomes, before strategy—there are humans. Leadership is a human-to-human commitment to see, serve, and develop the people in front of you. ✊ There is a tax on leadership. And it's paid in consistency, in hard conversations, in choosing standards over comfort. You don’t get to clock out from being the example! The cost is of being the head coach is real... but so is the impact on every life you’re responsible for. 🌱⏩🌳

I’m not saying there aren’t smart sport coaches… But if a school decides to hire a sports performance coach, wouldn’t it make sense to actually listen to the person who went to school for it? Not someone teaching social studies who also coaches… but someone literally trained in exercise science. 🤔🤔🤔

Why NASA Chooses Flywheel 🚀 For the Artemis II mission, NASA turned to flywheel training as a highly effective, versatile, and footprint-efficient way to maintain the bone density and muscle mass of its astronauts in zero-gravity. In preparation for the mission, our kBox was used extensively by the Canadian Space Agency to test and develop the protocol currently being used by the Artemis crew. Flywheel systems, like our kBox, don’t rely on gravity to create resistance and offer a number of unique benefits for space missions: ✅ Weight and Footprint The vacuum-based equipment currently aboard the ISS weighs a combined 1,800 kg and takes up nearly 24 cubic meters. The flywheel unit being used by the Artemis crew weighs just 14 kg and is the size of a briefcase. In space or on Earth, a flywheel system offers unmatched results per square inch. ✅ Versatility Alternative resistance methods require separate devices for cardio and strength. The variable resistance of a flywheel unit means that the same device can be used for cardiovascular training (like rowing) as well as heavy-duty strength training (like deadlifts, squats, rows, etc.). ✅ All-in-One A flywheel device, such as our kBox, offers 70+ exercises for the full body. Rows, hinges, squats, curls, high pulls, presses, extensions, and more can all be performed on one universal piece of equipment, ensuring maximally effective preservation of muscle and bone density while removing the need for multiple specialized devices.

@notgaetti Seems like a college ball thing ?

The way you treat the bat boy isn’t a matter of baseball; it’s a matter of character. This Man is supposed to be a leader? He’s got a losing record, a dysfunctional clubhouse, and now this. Tony Vitello may have singlehandedly torpedoed the NCAA-to-MLB experiment for everyone.

Sean McVay nailed the job description. Be an elevator. Lift people to their highest potential. That's it. That's leadership. 🔥

You're not depressed, you just need a quest.

✨🇨🇳A high school in Xinjiang has installed pull-up bars in its hallways. Right after class, the corridors turn into a mini gym full of students exercising.

If you have a pulse, you see this and see how special coaching is. You get to guide young people and be a positive presence during their most important years. It’s not an easy profession, but it’s fulfilling it if you’re in it for the right reasons.

@Challenger_ST @CoachVanMill Little and often

Hey young baseball players… JT Realmuto talking importance of in-season training… ✅ 5-6x per wk off-season ✅ 5-6x per-wk training in spring (6 or so exercises) ✅ Almost every day during season (3-4 exercises) He trains in-season you should too

@Cam_Jourdan His driver accuracy has gone from #159 last year to #37 this year which seems to coincide with his form improvement too. Nice work Min! elo.golf/players/min-wo…

@pbasilstrength @Brandon_L_Davis Of course not directed at you, but the army of young coaches programming mega long sessions that don’t fit into a realistic training schedule

@Coach_Cater For a select population that could be an alternate route. @Brandon_L_Davis just had some thoughts on this

Exercise Order matters Follow this : - Explosive Movements (Jumps, Throws, Sprint) - Main Strength Movement (Squat, Clean, Bench, etc) - Main Assistance Movement (RDL, Lunge, Row, etc) - Accessory Work/Trunk Fast first when fresh Heavy before fatigued Finish with the pump

@Brandon_L_Davis @JoeAratari Higher center of mass .. like the pandemic of heel elevated “VMO Squats”

@Brandon_L_Davis @JoeAratari High bar placement never fully gets Learned

Public gym thoughts: Squat pads do more harm to the squat pattern and body than it does to “protect it.”
