I'm always telling my athletes to trust their training! 

I hear all the time, “She's just not confident.” Hard work and confidence go hand in hand. When you put in the time and effort to improve your skills, you gain a sense of pride and self-assurance that shines through on the court. You trust yourself when you've done it over and over again. And trust comes with repetition! You can't train once a week and expect to make massive improvements in confidence. That change will only come from hours and hours of honing your craft, making a ton of mistakes, and getting it right! 

And the second part of this is FUEL! When you FUEL well, you FEEL well! (See what I did there?) 😉 It's hard to be confident and perform at your best if you're not eating well, sleeping enough, and putting good things in your body. 

Coaches, what are your thoughts on athletes and confidence?!

It's been 20 years...

20 years since my mom passed away and joined the angels by God's side. I'm sure she's laughing nonstop, dancing, and loving on everyone she sees. ❤️

I'm not sure why I got emotional listening to this reel but it reminded me of how short this life is and how distracted we get from what's important. We need God more than ever before. We are in the world but we are NOT OF the world! In a world that can feel so uncertain and chaotic, it’s easy to get lost in the noise and forget what truly matters. But when we turn to God, we find peace and strength that can sustain us through even the darkest days. Just take a moment and remember the love and grace that God has for every one of us, and let’s hold onto that truth as we move on with the hustle of the everyday grind.

God is the source of my love, peace, and happiness, and because I know him I receive a sense of fulfillment that’s impossible to find elsewhere. Whether you’re going through a difficult time or simply looking to deepen your spirituality, I encourage you to turn to God and trust in his guidance. He is truly the only way. I pray you find your way to God and know him on a personal level. I pray he reveals himself to be real and true in your life! 

Praying that you continue to find peace in HIM. Remember we are here for a season, let's make our impact great! ❤️🙏🏾 by @coach_tkay

Girls are taught to be perfect. Boys are taught to be brave. 

That line stopped me because I’ve seen it. I coached boys volleyball for two years and never once did I get approached by a parent about playing time… and I never once had my male athlete say “I just feel like I have to be perfect” 

I’ve watched girls crumble the moment something doesn’t go their way because nobody ever let them sit in the struggle long enough to figure it out. And realize it’s actually ok, nothing is wrong with failing as long as you don’t stay down. 

Sports change girls lives! 

Maybe this season your daughter goes from starter to coming off the bench and has to decide who she’s going to be. Maybe the coach doesn’t push her because they’re waiting to see if she’ll push herself. Maybe she’s asked to step into a leadership role and fumbles it, and then learns and figures it out anyway.

It teaches her how to walk up to a coach and ask the question you wanted to ask for her. How to give herself grace when she doesn’t perform the way she wanted to. How to stop shrinking and go after the moment instead of waiting for it to feel safe first. Thats what I want for every girl who steps on the court. Not a perfect athlete. A brave one.

Send this to a parent who needs to hear it today.

I wish more parents knew that if you have to consistently cancel lessons, if your kiddo is huffing and puffing through drills, or getting sick every other week — it’s not just “bad luck.” It’s their body running on empty.

In the last 3 weeks alone, I’ve had 9 kids cancel from being sick, and kids who show up but can’t push hard because they’re dehydrated or just… depleted.

Fueling your athlete changes everything. If I’m talking to you send me a DM. I’ve been helping athletes fuel better and it’s a game changer. by @coach_tkay

Rating makeup essentials 1-10, Part 2
Lipstick, primer, contour, and foundation

Don't get me wrong, I love contour, but when I think about makeup essentials, I think now, we don't show what our real faces look like anymore. And we can go a little crazy on the contour, but it definitely has its place.

Let us know if you agree or disagree.

I’m not saying talent doesn’t matter… but effort is exposing a lot of athletes. Most players don’t need more talent, they more time figuring it out on the court! 

Everyone wants to be better. What I have noticed over the years is that few are intentional outside of practice… 

Here’s where I would start… getting better reps, getting more sleep, putting better food into your body, putting focus on the process over the result, working on your mindset, and remembering to have fun through it all! 

Coaches, what do you think? And what are you seeing?
