What an experience! I wanted to share some reflections on my experience watching Savannah Bananas and The Fire Fighters last weekend in Kansas City! The whole thing was incredible, but naturally I looked at it from a different lens to see how I can improve things here. No, I’m

Welcome to what I like to call MAYhem! AKA the postseason version of March Madness for college softball and baseball. 💥⚾🥎 Upsets. Walk-offs. Heartbreak. Dogpiles. Every pitch, every swing, and every inning is loaded with emotion and adrenaline. The competition is fierce.

June is Men’s Mental Health Month 🧠💪 As athletes, coaches, and healthcare providers, we talk a lot about strength. But strength is never just physical. Mental health matters, especially for male athletes. Too often, the struggles are masked by speed, power, and game-day

For athletes, “just rest” almost never the correct answer! Being told to completely stop after an injury can be mentally and emotionally brutal for athletes in particular. When you’re wired to go, being told to sit still often causes more harm than good. ⁣ As coaches,

Men, but especially male athletes, are taught to grind, to be tough, to never show weakness. Mental health is part of that grind. 💯 Doing the inner work, checking in with yourself, and opening up to those around you isn’t soft, it’s STRONG and frankly one of the strongest

Your brain is like a baseball stat tracker, it keeps score on everything. Every ache, every lift, every missed rep, every anxious thought, every missed opportunity, and so much more! Some of those stats matter! Most of them are completely irrelevant! Just like judging a

Cars 2 isn’t just a Pixar sequel, it’s a lesson in loyalty and mental health. It teaches us the power of standing by your friends, even when they’re struggling, misunderstood, or not acting like themselves. Mater felt out of place. Embarrassed. Alone. But what he really needed?

Batman wearing a mask is like an athlete wearing the uniform and gear. Behind the mask, like many athletes when the uniform comes off, Bruce Wayne still feels pain. Male athletes are often expected to be the toughest, strongest, and most composed in the room. Just like Batman,

In my humble opinion, running sucks. I hate running. Sometimes the mental health needs you to lace up and go. When I filmed this, I was pissed off. So, why not go burn that angry energy. When Forrest Gump said, “That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little

Athletic trainers are so much more than just tape, water bottles, rehab, etc. We’re the first call when something goes wrong physically, mentally, or emotionally for athletes. Injury timeouts, panic attacks, torn ACLs, and the tears no one else sees, we are in it with our

The College World Series is full of weird kids. Weird because growing up they've been all in. They've been willing to sacrifice for what they really want. They've been willing to walk alone at times. Their fun is doing things others don't want to do. Look at the bodies and ask

💙 Happy Father’s Day 💙 Today we celebrate the dads, the grandpas, the coaches, the mentors, and the father figures who show up for us every single day! Men fight silent physical, mental, and emotional battles while they provide for, protect, and to pour into the next

This is so accurate! If you want to do things like play for championships, you have to be weird. That means making lots of sacrifices your peers aren’t willing to make. Be weird and be great!

Life and sports never stop moving or changing. Neither should you. Growth means change. Adapting to new challenges, new roles, and new expectations is part of becoming your best self. For men and male athletes, change can feel uncomfortable. Your ability to adjust, pivot, and
