@GopherVBall @NCAAVolleyball @GopherSports @B1GVolleyball She is also an amazing person. She is my daughters volleysqauad "sister". We couldn't ask for a better mentor to give Ellie someone to look up to! Congrats Pheobe.

𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐓𝐞𝐧 👊 In 20 B1G matches, Phoebe Awoleye averaged 1.64 blocks per set and had 125 blocks. The second place player in each category totaled 1.54 bps and 100 blocks. A DOMINANT season for one of the best defenders in @NCAAVolleyball.

@CoachKBooth Couldn’t agree more. As a dad of vb players, HS head coach, and club coach, I see the burnout and also feel it myself. Let’s finish nationals in May!!

I strongly believe the length of youth VB club seasons need to be shortened, but will need to be a grassroots effort to get this changed. If you agree, please contact your region, national governance or your club. It won’t happen immediately, but I believe we can get there.

Wow. If you are to watch one video this morning, watch this. Pete Buttigieg perfectly explains why Billionaires in Silicon Valley now support Trump and why J.D. Vance has flip flopped to liking Trump.

Tip of the iceberg

@jenni_houk He should add the labyrinth we call the spaces between courts!

This is a trend I could get behind.

@KirkCousins8 Brave, 💯

Since the injury, been watching a different Disney movie each Friday night with our boys…Ratatouille & Emperor’s New Groove are my faves so far—-phenomenal & underrated What do we watch next?

Man the jokes write themselves 🤣🤣🤣 Biden says it “you say that at any other job you’re fired.” Trump says it “he’s messed up that’s all” unserious people.

This from Padraig Harrington should be required viewing for parents. Some really great advice.

Coaching requires holding your most talented players accountable when their actions negatively affect the team. In preparation for the 2008 Olympics, Kobe Bryant, the Captain of the USA Basketball Team, started to play in a manner that was hurting the group. LeBron James and Dwayne Wade looked at their Head Coach, Coach K, and asked him what he would do about it. Coach K said, “I’ll take care of it.” He didn’t want to confront the legendary superstar, but he knew it was necessary. This is how he handled it…

Repeating: The band from Rush City is really really good.
