We continue to be excited about our Multi Sport Athletes! Carter is our QB, Kellen is a Soccer Goalie and on the Track Team and Ayden was an extremely valuable DB for SMB. It’s so cool to see these well rounded student-athletes prove you can do it all!

🚨 STATE CHAMPIONS 🚨

Minnehaha defeats Goodhue 81–69 to claim the Class 2A State Championship! 🏆🔥

A remarkable run for a team with just one senior—this group showed resilience, unity, and heart all season long.

Let’s hear it, Redhawks! 👏❤️🖤 #MinnehahaAcademy #MyMinnehaha

I believe @ChetHolmgren is the 1st Minnehaha Academy Alumni to be named an NBA All-Star…Congratulations, Chet!

When I look back at 2025, my trip to @Baylor is going to be one of those marking moments in my life. The people, conversations, topics, humility...I could go on & on. Thanks to @p_emory @FaithSportsInst @SportFaithLife for a great time. Also, thanks to @RedhawksAD for sending me!

[Derek Swanson @derekmswanson]

I’ve edited and distributed 100+ podcast episodes in the past year.

Here’s what I’ve learned 👉🏼🧵

This month, I’m opening up 3 new client spots.

If you’re thinking about launching a podcast—or want to grow the one you’ve got—I’d love to help.

[Derek Swanson @derekmswanson]

@shawn_mcintosh 100% agree

[Faith & Sports Institute @FaithSportsInst]

When it comes to youth sports, caring for young athletes doesn’t have to be complicated.

Sports ministry leader Brian Smith shares a practical way that he cares for his kids when they’re playing a sport.

What are some additional practices and tips that have worked for you?

@CCHockeyNews Not sure about that NoDak inclusion though…

@kylesheldon @NameAndNumber @MLS @justin__hubler Gonna be a good summer if this form continues!

[Derek Swanson @derekmswanson]

@jc_playmakerWNY Ridiculous. Also seen stats that playing multiple sports helps train your body differently & helps with injury prevention from overuse in one area.
