Jazzlynn Wittman is catching fire at the right time, as she led Fredericktown to victory with her clutch hitting Wednesday night. In a key moment of the game, Jazzlynn stepped up in the sixth inning and slapped a three-run home run to dead center field. Her approach was unmatc...

I'm convinced @DukeWBB Coach Kara Lawson is one of the best leaders in sports. This clip on urgency, growth not being linear, and the idea that there is no finish line is superb: 🥱 Need It > Want It. The people who win aren’t always the most gifted, they’re the ones who refuse to look away from what’s required RIGHT NOW. They stay present with the hard, the boring, and the uncomfortable, and they attack anyway. Wanting shows up when it’s convenient; needing shows up when it costs you something. 📈📉 Growth isn’t a straight line. There will be peaks that tempt your ego and valleys that test your belief. Real leadership is keeping your urgency and sharpness intact through all of it. Trusting that consistency is what will carry you through. Don't let your own impatience with stagnancy take your spirit. 🏁 There is no finish line where you finally get to coast, only new levels that ask more of you. Better is a direction, not a destination. The “ceiling” you feel is often just an imaginary story you’ve told yourself about what’s possible. Growth asks for the endurance to keep going and the humility to treat every day, every season, every year as another chance to get better. Bring urgency to the way you show up every day. Don't ever give up on your own growth. 🌱

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults. Dawn Staley said it. And every parent needs to hear it. Here's what parents get wrong about raising resilient kids. [THREAD]🧵

THE SANDLOT was released 33 years ago today. The iconic Fourth of July night game was shot with real fireworks, turning the scene into a practical, one-of-a-kind moment where the kids were actually playing under a live show.

I chose it for the moments not everyone sees. The small victories, the quiet moments, the tears, the joy…I chose it to make an impact.

A letter to the Athletic Training profession as NATM comes to a close…

Recovering from an injury is so much more than just getting back on the court or field. It’s about healing mentally as well. No matter the severity of injury, make sure that you take time to truly heal, recover and evolve!

My friendly reminder that the NCAA Wrestling Championships are back in Cleveland this weekend at Rocket Arena. If you plan on getting into a fight downtown, please don’t, you will lose.

All public school students should have free admission into all athletic events at their respective schools.

ATs are a lot like barbers or bartenders. We hear everything. Athletes unload their thoughts, frustrations, & struggles- they trust us. Sometimes the most important thing we can do isn’t tape an ankle or rehab an injury. It’s listen. Because sometimes…we’re their lifeline.

Do your athletes have Care They Can Count On? #natm2026

Youth sports isn’t dying from lack of talent. It’s dying from overload. No free play, rest, recovery, off-seasons. Too many showcases & tournaments. Not enough development. Parent ego + social media pressure fuel the fire. We don’t need more exposure. We need better environments.

Athletic trainers: licensed healthcare professionals trained in injury prevention, emergency care & rehabilitation. Also jacks-of-all-trades who can fix a waterboy or set up events where over 200 students can get their sports physical. Simply put, they are wizards 🪄 #NATM2026

Trust isn’t built in the moment they walk off the field. It’s built in the conversations before this. In the honest answers. In advocating when emotions are high. In choosing long-term health over short-term wins. Athletes trust us. #CareYouCanCountOn #NATM2026 #AT4ALL
