@Football_Guys I wish I could share this message with the world, Joe! I so appreciate you! Thank you.

We all walk with a limp. Loss and heartbreak suck. Some thoughts. Today would have been my little brother Rich's birthday. And to be clear, I'm OK. I'm not special or unique in this. This isn't a "signal," and I don't mean to be dramatic. But it's also real, and it felt significant. I've said something like this on this day in past years, and I'm saying it again. And to be clear, this is not about me or my brother. This is maybe about you and overcoming loss or heartbreak. One of the challenging things about this day was calling my Dad in the morning. He'd be expecting my call and he'd usually answer with a crack in his voice, saying, "Hey, Joe... And then maybe he'd be able to get out something like, "It's difficult, isn't it?..." I usually was fine until I heard his voice, and then I wouldn't be able to say much besides, "Yeah, Dad. Yeah, it is." And then we'd hang up. With my dad now gone, this is the second year on Rich's birthday where I haven't been able to make that call. But my feeling of loss is offset today by my faith that I trust they are reunited now. When my Dad passed, I remember thinking his broken heart, that was never fully healed since his son died, would finally be whole again. And I'm happy for that. I'm reminded of words from one of my favorite writers, Anne Lamott: "You will lose someone you can't live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn't seal back up. "And you come through. It's like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly – that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp." - Anne Lamott I don't know how much I've learned. I am sure I have a limp. Most of us do. Again, I'm not special or unique in this. I don't mean to be dramatic here and I'm OK, but this is on my mind this morning. And especially on my mind is the folks out there who read this who are not as far down the road past a loss. You may, in fact, not be fine today. Maybe you're not yet to the point where the broken heart heals enough to just be a limp. And you're not ready to dance. If that's you, I hope and pray you get there. I hope and pray you get to that next version of yourself that can dance as best you can with a limp. Peace and Grace to you.

@jayclouse @nathanbarry @justinmooretfam @AshleyPuga Justin is renamed in my phone as "calves". Creator Wizard who?

@nathanbarry @justinmooretfam @AshleyPuga @HaleyJanicek as if i didn’t already have fomo

Come into town for podcasts and you might just become MVP of my volleyball team. Great to have @justinmooretfam step up for our team tonight! We won 3 out of 3 games (and secured several new team sponsors) thanks to his legendary skill.

We announced a lot last week, but this could be my favorite. I walked into a studio, pressed ONE button, and immediately started capturing a pro-grade 3-cam, 2-mic recording to an external drive. It felt like magic. What @HaleyJanicek and @theKevinShen put together is amazing!

About damn time!

3 Million Subscribers on @ConvertKit with a 51% open rate 🤯. That’s unbelievably impressive. Only way that’s possible is to show up for your community with content they ALWAYS want. Incredible.

@nathanbarry kicking off @heycreatorhey with a talk on Flywheels. So much good content being shared.

We aren’t going anywhere we will keep talking about this, until the right thing is done

@jsarnolds Very good point, Jeff! Spring is so critical for players development. Even if they were to attend practice the environment has to be right to encourage player development and that won’t ever happen under Chris as Head Coach.

@HaleyJanicek It hurts them more than just not being heard. The girls will loose valuable development time in the gym and be even further behind for next season. The longer this drags out the more the girls loose on all fronts.

I can not understand the intention behind letting Chris Gonzalez step inside the gym to "coach" and the justification that appropriate measures are being put in place because a case manager will be there to monitor practice. Bottom line: Chris Gonzalez has abused far too many athletes and absolutely doesn't deserve any benefit of doubt. How many people have to come forward? Far too often, in our society, young people are dismissed when they raise a concern against someone in a position of power. What does that teach them?

Good jobs, KREM! So proud of Emma for fighting this fight. She shouldn’t have to but damn is she impressive.

This just continues to get worse and worse. Do better. These girls have more integrity than all of those entrusted with their care combined. Do better! @uidaho @IdahoVolleyball @UIdahoAlumni @NCAAVolleyball @ncaa @TeamUSA

@RNAngieArnzen @Idaho_Vandals We should be and we need to be! If your a Proud Vandal please share this because we have a lot more power as a united body!

Why are we as Vandal Athletic Supporters not screaming from the rooftops for protection for these young women!! I am disappointed in so many ways how so many people are turning a blind eye! #webelieveyou #supportthestudents @Idaho_Vandals

At this point I’m honestly asking… what would have to be true for the administration to put CG on admin leave? It’s outrageous and unacceptable that these women are are even having to ask this of a department that is entrusted with their safety. These women deserve better. Do Better. @Idaho_Vandals @UIdahoAlumni @usavolleyball @NCAAVolleyball @bigskyvolleyball

@hoops_scout11 Above all else the role (fundraising, relations, budget, etc.) of an AD is to protect the athletes and create an environment where the athletes can thrive. You obviously know this. Please continue to share your thoughts on this as a leader in athletics!

Friends - if you care about women in sports please have a listen. I’m using my voice to fight for these women because they were let down by those that were meant to protect them. It’s inexcusable.

@longeteig @TubsAtTheClub @uidaho Appreciate you, @longeteig - I met with a current player today and the most important thing we can do to continue to support them is use our voice to share their story. It’s a shame they have it to use it for this fight.

@RackofTits69 @IdahoVolleyball No offense to my @TubsAtTheClub guys but @HaleyJanicek was awesome so great to hear her perspective and takes as a Vandal volleyball legend alum!

After reflecting a lot on the contents of this article I have to say that today I am pretty damn proud to be a Vandal Volleyball Alum. It takes a lot of energy and effort to fight this battle and I’m proud of the group of girls for their perseverance. They are the ones with the real integrity. @VandalNation @Idaho_Vandals @IdahoVolleyball ocregister.com/2023/12/30/the…

@HaleyRosen please use your platform to share this article exposing an absolute coward trying call himself a Coach. He’s not worthy of the title. ocregister.com/2023/12/30/the…
