Never take a single day for granted. Never forget to tell the ones you love, you love them. Life can change in an instant.

Thank you for everything 💜

Carter Starocci becomes a 4x champ, goes to his corner to raise his athletic trainer’s hand as a compliment to how much Dan Monthley helped him come back from his injury for NCAAs. In his post match interview Carter says “Dan Monthley is a national champ.”#NATM2024 #PSUwrestling

Jesus said it wouldn’t be what we said we believed or all the good we hoped to do someday that mattered; it would simply by how we loved each other.

Good stuff:
Before every game, Morton says the same prayer.

“It’s always: Give me insight and the strength to make the right decision quickly,” she says. “You've got to make a decision that pushes you into action. There's not time to be indecisive.”

Your brain wires to the people around you.

Our performance changes as a function of how we learn to deal with the people we interact with regularly.

If you want high-performing people, you need a healthy culture that promotes connection, trust, and reliability.

@HammockCody I’m thinking of doing social work! So much to learn about patient advocacy, navigating the healthcare system, and even counseling. A very needed role and skill set in athletics.

In 2015 my mom was given a terminal cancer diagnosis. She died 3 days later. Devastated, I started seeing a therapist that week & I’ve continued since. This editorial in the @JAT_NATA special issue on mental health is the most personal piece I’ve ever written.

[Joel Osteen @JoelOsteen]

Give yourself permission to have some weaknesses. Give yourself the grace to not perform perfectly all the time. We should have discipline, be focused, but don’t live pressured thinking you have to make it all happen in your own strength.

[Pat Croce @pat_croce]

I like to say ‘it’s the start that stops most people’. So get started & make the intention right now to mindfully place your loving attention on whatever you are doing, wherever you are doing it, & with whomever accompanies you. You’ll find it makes life so much more enjoyable.

[Pat Croce @pat_croce]

Be open to the possibility … that your beliefs are not true; your voice-in-the-head is not you; your habit energy may not be beneficial for you; and all beliefs, self-talk & habits are available for change (and transformation).

RECAP | Sophie Davis finished with seven blocks, eclipsing Lizzy Brione's total blocks record in the Dukes' second four-set win over App State in as many days.
