Listening to Peter Stuursma, who’s won over 75 percent of his games while coaching his alma mater, talking about his Hope College Football team on the radio has me fired up for the season! Those dudes are coming for it all in 2024.

Shout out to our very own Peyton Benjamin! She is now our All-Time Single Season Stolen Bases Leader! A record that has remained untouched since it was set by DeAnn Knoll in 1986. Congrats P! 👏🏽

30 bases and counting.. 🤫

I've been using this quote from Tim S. Grover when I talk with all my teams about the upcoming summer training:

'There is no off-season if you want to be a winner'. ⛓️⚓⛓️⚓

If you want to be good, you show up and do what’s required.

If you want to be great, you show up and do way more than what’s expected.

If you are an athlete and you do enough sprinting, jumping, and power work...directly working the calf muscle (raises) is a waste of time.

You are utilizing that muscle greatly in the power movement. 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Don’t worry about what you look like.

Just do the work.

Don’t worry about when you’ll get results.

Just do the work.

Don’t worry about making mistakes.

Just do the work.

Final Day of Spring Football

🏈⚓⛓️🧱

There are 57,600 square feet on a football field.

The KEY to winning, all boils down to which team has more guys who are willing to give their all (in the weight room, on the practice field, and during the games), to DOMINATE the 4 square feet they live in, day in and day out!

VICTORY! Hope 5, Adrian 1 (Game 1); Hope 10, Adrian 6 (Game 2). The MIAA-leading Flying Dutch softball team hits the 20-win mark and improves to 6-0 in league play at home with a doubleheader sweep at Wolters Softball Stadium.

Understand that your PR's are peaks.

They are awesome to hit and should be a measure of progress, but your strength will fluctuate 5-10% any given day

The real game is raising your strength baseline over time.

It doesn’t matter how good you were in high school. In college, everyone is good, so you must work even harder than before!

“I’m so sore. It has to be the lifting I’ve been doing.”

OR, it’s because:

- You sleep 5 hours every night
- You don’t take a day off
- You play on 4 sports teams
- Your dietary consistency is nonexistent
- Your body is weak & fragile
- You play your sport year round

Edwardsburg grad Derik Smith (Hope football and T&F) will announce the Denver Broncos 3rd-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

He had a part of his right leg amputated after a cancer diagnosis when he was younger.
