Thankful for A-state facilities and local Breaking Bonds ministry for getting things back into place for us in time for practice.
Our High Jump and Pole Vault pits didn’t stand a chance with 70 mph winds yesterday @ryanvaughan

We can and need to do better with the livestream @NCAATrackField
This crew could make a world record seem boring. The field events aren’t covered for more than 10 secs. There are so many good examples around the world of how to do it. Let’s try harder

It can be the best thing to fail. It gives you a chance to shake from your comfort zone and back into a determined drive.
Excuses will betray that chance.
Taking no accountability will also betray it.
Fail, then get to work making sure it doesn’t happen anytime soon

Excited to add Vivian to the heptathlon group. She’s an outstanding javelin thrower and jumper!

How to actually make sure the best teams get in the CFP every year:
You cant...
No one can agree on who they are
You let the conferences get too big and they don't all play each other
The big media companies have a stake and politic their teams
simply put: you cant. the end

Welcome Jenna! We add another vaulter from New Jersey. That worked out pretty well with the last one 😉

So 16 of the top 20 athletes at the South Central Regional for XC are East African athletes. Well done @NCAA on allowing the sport to be destroyed

So stoked to get this guy. Pretty fortunate to have my best friend @bjparish711 coaching this guy and I’ve gotten to see him grow and mature into a monster. Welcome Marcus!!!

I’m not a head coach but you know where I’ll be on game day. Me and my family are there rain or shine, hot or cold, win or lose. Any excuses you have don’t apply tomorrow. Get your butts in the seats at the bank and let’s cheer on this team! Wolves Up!

Elementary sport is meant to intro skills, teach work ethic and encourage teamwork. Parents, coaches and orgs that push for "win now, win at all costs" at that age are doing damage to the kids. Be smart, encourage development and please let them wait to train like adult athletes

Not sure if many of you know how amazing my grandpa was. I feel like most people think and believe that but his story reads like a tall tale. He was full of wisdom, humor and kindness and left a legacy that I can’t even dream to live up to. Love you pop

Be willing to struggle. That struggle forges you into a better version of yourself. Quitting at the first sign of trouble IMHO is a good way to become weaker.
