New education modules developed by the @theAIS Female athlete performance and health initiative are now live! Fantastic resources for athletes and clinicians alike. Proud to be part of the industry reference group led by the impressive @DrRachelHarris https://t.co/gZ6XijwmBK

Repair begins with accountability. We still have so far to go. I am grateful for this verdict and devastated that George Floyd is not here today. We keep fighting. ❤️

Actions speak louder than words, @NCAA. Your actions say:

“Preparation, recovery, well-being & overall health are less important for female student-athletes than they are for their male counterparts.”

It’s not too late to start acting in a way that promotes equality. Like now.

I don’t know why it’s so hard for the @NCAA to treat male and female athletes equally?

[Cole Hergott @chergott94]

As coaches (and former athletes) we all know it is better to have a few great minutes of playing time in a game than to play the whole match poorly.

So why would we accept 100 poor reps in the gym instead of a few great ones?

Quality over quantity!

An occasionally disappointing theme in conversations within athletics

The value of a mans reputation is prioritized above the well-being of the athlete; especially the female athlete

Lets value those willing to ask questions, be vulnerable, and reach out. Not the “all-knowing”

It might be Labor Day weekend, but let’s all remember that we're still in the middle of a pandemic. Wear a mask, practice social distancing, and follow the experts. It’ll save lives.

The barriers women face are a problem, but an even bigger problem may be the lack of barriers faced by mediocre men. https://t.co/AyzXOxGMeV

It costs an estimated $790 to fully dress a police officer in riot gear.

It costs an estimated $11 to dress a medical worker in PPE.

Which one of these groups do you think is running low on equipment across the nation?
