When I was in college I ran 9 miles every morning on an empty stomach.
Why? Because I waited until the last possible second to wake up & go run
Now, we'd label this as fasted training or intermittent fasting
The magic wasn't in fasting; it was in running 9 miles every morning
The Athlete makes the coach, not the other way around.
Time to keep your ego in check. When it comes to athletics, talent matters. As coaches it’s our job to nurture and allow that potential to show itself.
MGXC with great performances today at NXR Midwest. Open girls were 18 of 39 teams and the varsity was 12th in the championship race out of 30 teams. Thankful for all of our seniors and the legacy they have helped build. #FamilyMentality#TheFamousCoolDownHill
We often avoid situations where we won't measure up. Where we know we'll get our butt kicked.
But it's often those situations that are the 'hard things.'

Icahn Stadium in New York City got loud for @itskerrii today…but the kids absolutely loved her.
After her win in the 200 meters, she stuck around for a bit and signed shoes, notebooks, t-shirts, phone cases, and more for the next generation of athletes.
