We all need a little dot of light to get through, a reminder of courage and bravery, no matter what.

As we enter the final days of MLB regular season, I want to say that I hope for nothing but the worst for John Fisher

He is the epitome of a horrible owner. Taking away people’s summers for greed. Ruining an amazing fanbase, an amazing place to watch a ballgame on TV.

Worst.

Eventually you become what you surround yourself with. If you want strength, run with strength & you'll become strong.

My favorite Olympic year swimming tradition is when Katie Ledecky is so far ahead of everyone else that’s she’s the only swimmer on the screen

Today we remember a legend. Happy birthday, Pat Summitt. 🧡 ⁠
⁠
Holly Warlick recalls when she tried out for the legendary coach: “I tried to walk on to the basketball team my freshman year before my track career even started. I hadn’t seen Pat since I had blown it in high school. I’d met some of her players, though, and asked about her — asked what to expect.⁠
⁠
‘She’s hard.'⁠
⁠
‘She’s tough.’⁠
⁠
Every single player said the same thing. Not that I cared — I just wanted to play. And, I figured, at least I was in shape. How bad could it be?⁠
⁠
I walked into the gym on the first day of tryouts. Does she remember me? I thought. Nope, no recognition. Pat put us on the line and blew her whistle.⁠
⁠
Suicides. A lot of suicides. Then she put 30 minutes on the clock for a continuous four-on-two fast break.⁠
⁠
And that was just the warmup.⁠
⁠
‘That woman is crazy,’ I said to myself after walking out of the gym that day. ‘What am I getting myself into?’⁠
⁠
But I went back the next day, and the day after that. She had that way about her. She’d break you down … and yet you’d show up the next day. You wanted to prove to her that you could take it. It took me years to realize that she didn’t care about players proving it to her.⁠
⁠
She cared about players proving it to themselves.”
