A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:

“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.

At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.

But cancer doesn’t care about plans.

Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.

I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.

Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.

Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.

Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.

Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.

Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.

Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.

Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.

And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.

Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.

And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

[Birds of Prey @IowaBOP]

Iowa beat Rutgers by 22 and allowed no points. Michigan beat Rutgers by 24 and gave up 7 points. Ohio State beat Rutgers by 19 and gave up 16 points.

Is Iowa #1 in the country?

🗣️ You MUST lift in-season… you wanted context, so let’s talk about it!

🔑 Read the below… change how you look at in-season training

1️⃣ “I don’t want to be sore.” Understand context. Understand protocol that can be taken in a GOOD program by a GOOD coach who can have you work in a way that gets or maintains results without frying you!! Sub-maximal strength work, isometrics, limited sprint volume. All work

2️⃣ “I don’t have time. I have games or practices 5x per week.” Please keep your two off days as off days. Big hack? Do speed or jump work before games or practices to prime you to be ready to go! Do sub max strength work after games or practices. You’ll already be warmed up AND odds are the sub max lifting will be less intense than sport so it’ll actually be a cool down of sorts

3️⃣ “Why lift after games or practices?” It’s simple. While you may think you’re better off not doing too much on one day, it’s actually better to stack higher intensities on the same days so you can use days you’re off from your sport to be COMPLETE rest days

4️⃣ “I’ll get hurt from doing too much.” Again, moderation & quality programming are keys here. A good program will actually HELP you stay resilient, avoid burnout & counter the high amounts of reps you’re getting in your sport as a way to stay strong & healthy

5️⃣ “Why can’t I just wait until the off-season?” Of course you can. But let me ask you this. The in-season is probably the biggest chunk of time you have in your year. Can you really afford to NOT train for several months? You’ll start your off-season just building back to what you were vs. Improving. Then you’ll lose it all again come in-season 🤦‍♂️

🔑 Read the above… change how you look at in-season training

[Scott Battas, CMAA @coachb83]

Our kids lift weights in-season. Period. It’s the expectation. And yes, even on game days. And if you don’t like that or agree with it, this just isn’t the place for you to coach or be a part of our athletic programs. It’s not punishment. It’s research based development.

@radiodraude @BigGameBoomer I would say Ohio St gave them a run for their money…had a chance to send Georgia home but missed a field goal. Bama had their chance and lost twice.

@JordanRommes @sydneysessler I’m very happy with the Cowboys performance

[Rhett Barrett @641Cowboy]

@mraspinall Sure for the 1st or 2nd time but if this behavior continues that approach would need to change….if they were an athlete at our school and they arrive late they can’t participate for that day.
