Building Stronger and More Resilient Athletes

A Year Ago Today I Was Diagnosed With Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

I spent 4 months in hospital.

I lost my lower lob of a lung, my spleen and some stomach battling an infection.

This How I Built Myself Back From 0 From April to October 💪🏼

Jaguars DE Josh Hines-Allen’s eight-year-old son Wesley — who was diagnosed with leukemia the final week of the 2024 season — will be an honorary captain for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. Wesley completed his cancer treatment in August and is now in full remission. Josh Hines-Allen has dedicated this season to pediatric cancer awareness in honor of Wesley.

I’ve never wanted someone to win a Super Bowl so badly since Drew 🐐

BAKER MAYFIELD IS A SICKO!

If you’re hurt stay down…
Guess I’m one of the old guys saying the game has gotten soft these days .

Guys find yourself a good woman, treat her with dignity and respect and she will stand by your side through thick and thin. Getting through my current health issues without the constant support of Amy would have been a realchallenge. Thank you for being amazing. Love you Amy

@dejuanjulianm Still gotta remind myself

[Connor Smith @Connor72Smith]

Count your blessings everyday man.

Salute to this brother for his outlook on life ❤️

[Ryan Clark @Realrclark25]

“I just wish i could be normal again” ❤️

[Connor Smith @Connor72Smith]

@dejuanjulianm You back in 🇨🇦 bro?

[Connor Smith @Connor72Smith]

People have no idea how hard it is to smile through moments like this.

A true inspiration man.

Praying for you brother.

Love the dudes in the comments telling him he’s not hitting depth.

Wonder how they would do under that bar.

@AJA_Cortes 6 months in a bed with cancer.

Never take it for granted again .

[AJAC @AJA_Cortes]

You never truly appreciate having a healthy body until you're lying in bed sick, willing to trade everything just to feel normal again

I learned this after rupturing my hamstring tendon decades ago and needed a cane to walk for months

What's your wake-up call been?

[Connor Smith @Connor72Smith]

@AJA_Cortes Upper
Lower
- Rest
Push
Pull
Lower

Relatively lower volume because of the higher frequency.

@Coach_Brinson_ Most people in the replies have clearly never worked with high school aged kids.

Awesome set.

[Connor Smith @Connor72Smith]

Luka definitely smashed someone’s wife.

No way they got rid of him cause of anything basketball related.

[Ahmed/The Ears/IG: BigBizTheGod 🇸🇴 @big_business_]

That man is not 270, we need to know the real reason why Luka Doncic got traded

[Connor Smith @Connor72Smith]

Patietance is a virtue personified.

WHO’S ONE #NFL PLAYER YOU TOOK FOR GRANTED WHEN THEY WERE IN THEIR PRIME.

I’ll start: LE’VEON BELL (@LeVeonBell)

@StrengthDebates I’d argue hockey.

On ice skill and athletic ability can translate off ice but the reverse isn’t true.

Bigger the Dragon, better the story.

[Connor Smith @Connor72Smith]

Fights/sparring and exams always stressed me out.

But when you prepare to the best your ability than you will get the best possible outcome possible.

Nerves may still be there but the outcome will never be better so it eases you.

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

When Kobe Bryant said his insane level of confidence came from knowing he’d done all he could to prepare, it taught me that anytime I’m nervous it means I didn’t prepare enough.

[Connor Smith @Connor72Smith]

Reading a book about it isn’t doing it.

Watching a video on it isn’t doing it.

Making a plan for it isn’t doing it.

Go do it.

[Connor Smith @Connor72Smith]

I find it increasingly disrespectful when people have healthy bodies and choose to destroy them by being lazy.

Waste.
