Confidence isn’t about being fearless.

It’s about knowing you’ll show up—even when you’re full of doubt.

We get confidence is wrong.

It’s not about hype, bravado, or pretending.

It’s about evidence, action, and alignment.

Here’s how to build the real thing:

P5 track & field coaches are mobilizing to protect the future of their sport against House settlement, citing roster limits, budget cuts, program eliminations, etc. This open letter to the track & field community is being circulated calling for immediate action.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Team culture doesn't form during meetings or scheduled activity.

It forms during the in between moments. The cool down conversations, the shared anxiety while awaiting a race, the adventures once the performance is complete and you've got hours to kill in a different city.

[Emma Petersen @Emy_Reed]

And that’s a 4’peat! Dani Barrett wins the MPSF for @ucdavisxctf making her the 4th UC Davis lady in a row to win the event (Bergmark 22, Atkins 23, Weidler 24) #UCDistance #goags

One of the best coaches out there! Erin was my assistant coach at @UNMLoboXCTF, her leadership and wisdom had such a meaningful impact & I often think ‘what would Erin do’ in my own coaching career. A wonderful leader for @EIU_XC & an incredible Mom to Ryan & Clare too!

[Eastern Illinois Athletics @EIU_Panthers]

Long time @EIU_XC head coach Erin Howarth has announced she will be retiring from coaching at the end of this fall season moving into a role with the EIU campus admissions department

Howarth was an 8-time OVC Coach of the Year

I think this is such an important component of a coaching career. Emphasis in collegiate coaching often circles around the student athlete sense of belonging, but long term success for a program needs to also include the coach’s sense of belonging.

[Dr Sophia Jowett @JowettSophia]

“belonging in the workplace” is central. For coaches, when they feel they belong, they are more committed, happier, productive.

What is belonging/why matters?
What enables/inhibits belonging?
How do we build belonging?

See infographics we developed in collaboration with NSOs⬇️

So proud of Dani for her All American 11th place finish in the 10,000m! There is nothing better than seeing your athlete achieve their dreams! #goags #UCDistance
