Every year since 2005, Joey Chestnut (@joeyjaws) has spent the Fourth of July in Coney Island competing in the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.
After being banned from this year’s competition due to his sponsorship deal, Chestnut is in El Paso and will take on four Fort Bliss soldiers in a hot dog eating contest.
If you want to understand motivation talk to a high school cross-country coach
They have to figure out how to get teens to commit to running 5-10 miles per day for months.
Punishment, extreme demandingness, etc. don't work
You've got to hook kids on the sport, progress, & team
Izabela will be inducted into the @UTEPAthletics Hall of Fame‼️
She was a senior leader on the historic ‘07-08 squad (28-4) that won the program's 1st conference title, broke into the top25 for the final 6 weeks of the season & advanced to the 2nd round of the @MarchMadnessWBB.
Eclipse 2024! The eclipse will begin at 11:09AM, peak at 12:25PM and end by 1:44PM. The city of El Paso will experience an 80-90% coverage. DO NOT look at the eclipse with your naked eye, but use glasses approved by the American Astronomical Society. How cool is that?!
