It was a memorable night for our former All-American linebacker, @mikeymike__5!

In the 2024 #CFL opener Thursday night for the @Wpg_BlueBombers, Michael became the first former @AshlandFB player to see time in a regular-season CFL game - with 2 special teams tackles!

SAL&D would like to thank everyone again for contributing to a successful year. As we reflect on the past year, we wanted to share some of the great things we were able to accomplish with the help of staff, coaches, and of course the student athletes!#FireUpChips🔥👆@CMUAthletics

This year the goals of impact, intentionality, and involvement drove all initiatives. Looking forward to taking time this summer to re-examine the department to continue preparing student-athletes to succeed at CMU and in their futures! @CMUAthletics

[CMU Student-Athlete L&D @CMU_SALD]

We want to take a moment and look back on all that was accomplished this past year. Thank you to everyone who helped contribute to our programs! None of this would be possible without you. Now it’s time to recharge and start planning for another great academic year! @CMUAthletics

I love stories about our student-athletes winning on AND off the field and court! @CMUfootball’s Lawai’a Brown and @CMUbaseball’s AJ Kostic recently won awards for their business ventures in the @CMUNVC. I talked with them about it in my latest podcast: https://t.co/qk9rGh2INM

Thank you for being our keynote speaker for Mental Health Awareness Week! Your story is always one the student-athletes learn and grow from. And Heydie’s expertise paired perfect with it!! A power couple with a powerful message!!

[Jonathan Orr @iam_jonathanorr]

Yesterday, @HeydieOrr and I had an amazing opportunity to share with the Central Michigan University Student-Athletes. The title of our presentation was Redefining Strength: An Athletes Journey to Mental Wellness.

For the first time ever, I publicly shared intimate details about some of my darkest moments as an athlete. While Heydie provided a powerful educational experience, by helping us to view these moments through a psychological lens in order breakdown what was actually happening in my mind.

We were so blessed by this experience and hope we get to share it more.

Big thanks to @TravisDowning96 , @TangeDC and @CMUAthletics for making the person in the jersey a priority, and for the opportunity to share.
