They wild for this!

[Akil Stokes - Millersville Track & Field 💛🖤 @MUSpeedInc]

Many of our athletes are going to use social media to try & improve their performance. Instead of telling them to "stay off" or even "be careful," I just try to share as much of the QUALITY info as possible in hopes they can learn to distinguish the good from the nonsense.

[Akil Stokes - Millersville Track & Field 💛🖤 @MUSpeedInc]

@MikeCunningham Disagree. Timing is good for testing & to provide a carrot every now & then. But if done consistently, it can damage the athlete mentally since they're not always ready to run at their best. My goal is to get 100% effort out of them & racing others is better than the clock imo

[Akil Stokes - Millersville Track & Field 💛🖤 @MUSpeedInc]

Vibes have been so much better since we've actually been outside. Imagine that.

[Millersville Marauders @VilleMarauders]

Big win gets big celebrations!

Dear Ashlyn... & others. We too, hope that one day our current team can experience what it’s like to compete at a championship meet on home turf. We know what it'll take; we just need to raise the funds to get the job done.

💛 GIVE WHAT YOU CAN https://t.co/4prleoNcGR

ONCE A MARAUDER, ALWAYS A MARAUDER. That means this current team is still your team. The same pride, standard & sisterhood — it never leaves. If you’re able, please consider helping your teammates out by giving what you can today.

Had a Freshman tell me that she finally looked at the Tfrrs today. I could also see that the innocence was sucked out of her body and that she would never be the same. They grow up so fast!

With this next big snowstorm incoming. I'm reminded that instead of complaining about what we can't do, focus on the things that you can do. Control what you can control.

[Speed & Hurdle Coach @Tier1athlete]

Remember there is no secret to training or secret methods.

If folks are not willing to share & be vulnerable in their programming don't be offended.

It simply tells you that the person is guarded & has an ego & is very protective of being vulnerable.

Just entered an athlete who hasn't ran in 3 years due to injury, into her first collegiate meet. Getting goosebumps. She can walk across the finish line for all I care. Just to race again after 3 years of grinding and setbacks is a win in its own right.

[Akil Stokes - Millersville Track & Field 💛🖤 @MUSpeedInc]

MASSIVE Congrats to our 3 December Graduates 🎓 Katie Murphy, Claire Coons & Morgan Klaiss 🖤💛

[Akil Stokes - Millersville Track & Field 💛🖤 @MUSpeedInc]

Time to figure out Spring Semester practice schedules. Oh & to add another twist, we have no outdoor lights this year due to the stadium renovation. Might have to invest in those flashlight caps

COACHES: Remember that your deload week isn't just a chance to allow your athletes to recover, but an opportunity for you to recover as well.

[Akil Stokes - Millersville Track & Field 💛🖤 @MUSpeedInc]

Great day of testing! 2 good races from the sprints & a time trial for the non-regional distance runners. Highlight of the day was an athlete coming to me, saying they felt nervous. GOOD, if we can work on getting through that feeling at practice, it'll be nothing come meet day.
