@BAM_MS_Official Ss got to listen to an audiobook read aloud for First Chapter Friday to get a preview to a book they might be interested in for their independent reading! We “unplugged” and colored while we listened - never too old for a coloring sheet! ❤️ happy Friday!

[Desi Stapleton @DesiStapleton]

had a joy-filled first two days at @BAM_MS_Official ! Ss got to use context clues and questioning techniques to make assumptions about me, as well as decide their word of intention for the year. Lots of laughter and community building! Excited to grow together! 🌱 🐻

when a strength and conditioning program is exactly the same for a girls program and a boys program, of completely different sports, something is wrong

athletes deserve better

❗️athletes deserve a specific, thoughtful program priming sport specific muscles and movements ❗️

Happy National Women and Girls in Sports Day!
How it started ➡️ how it’s going

I never saw women on my coaching staff. I am honored to be that woman for @LightridgeGSOC.
Breaking glass ceilings and helping other women do it too ⚡️

WE ARE STRONG. RESILIENT. GRITTY.

@PaulaMS817 It’s ok! Just wanna get my girls on the field! ⚡️

[Desi Stapleton @DesiStapleton]

The only thing that you can control is your reactions to circumstances. Will you use disappointing circumstances to get better?

Times are frustrating. It’s ok to be disappointed and confused.

But what can you do today to better yourself? How can you get 1% better everyday?

At this time, all off-season training has been suspended indefinitely. We hope to be back on the pitch soon and provide details about our program’s future ⚽️⚡️ #BoltsUp

But for now:

✨ keep calm and keep working ✨
