Another great Squattober. Hit my goal of clearing 500 and grinded out 515lbs 🙌🏼 a new lifetime max. And then @_marapaige talked me into maxing bench, and hit a quick 315lbs bench press. Not a lifetime max, but good to know I can still keep 3 plates moving.

The Squattober challenge always helps me as coach to keep a pulse on the athlete experience. You get to tap into a nice mental gear when your body is sore and hurting but you get up and do it again everyday anyway. A good reminder that your mental tenacity is more important than your physical strength when it’s time to unlock your potential.

Lot of fun getting to have the PR party with this crew. Everyone hit new maxes 👏🏼 good luck to everyone else moving iron today taken in Beirman Athletic Facility by @leaveitto_weave

In today’s episode I sit down with the University of Minnesota’s Head Coach (DAN WEAVER) to talk about what it truly means to be a positive energy giver - both on and off of the mat. From building a power house program, to creating a culture where no one gives up …. Dan shares powerful insights on resilience, the impact of bringing positivity to every situation and key takeaways for athletes wanting to cheer at the collegiate level! ♥️

He’s an incredible leader AND human being & I’m so grateful that he came on the show to share his love of the sport and his journey in cheer :)))

First, I need to thank God because I am BLESSED

Before I took this position over 5 years ago, we made a decision that we were going to win National Championships here. No part of this happened by accident, and no part of it came easily. This program grinded for years to get to this point - winning the first National Championship in Minnesota Cheerleading’s rich 126 year history.

Thank you to the incredible coaching staff for grinding it out over these past 6 seasons; there’s not enough I could write about you, so I’ll just say it’s been a lot of fun growing with you. Thank you to all of the support that we have: office staff, administration, strength coaches, athletic medicine, and guest coaches. Too many to name, but your work has never gone unnoticed. My personal support system, thank you for understanding what I do and the sacrifices you make to support me in doing this. Thank you to the alumni who laid the foundation but never got to hoist that trophy - you should feel just as a part of this. This championship is not reflective of just one season of work. And most importantly, thank you to this team for committing and deciding. These incredible athletes, you mean so much to me. You did the work, learned the hard lessons, and grew into champions. We have created a standard of excellence that will only see this team continue to grow, as long as we continue to protect it and do the work.

I am so proud to be a part of the greatest Spirit Program in the country, and add to the legacy of the University of Minnesota. #28 by @leaveitto_weave

This time of year is very special, and it’s hard to describe to those that haven’t gone through it. The season provides tremendous physical, mental, emotional, and personal growth that can only be attained through the hard work. The titles are great - and I promise, titles are coming to this team - but that’s not the only way we define success. Learning how to be more selfless, holding ourselves accountable, trusting the process, and pounding the stone. These lessons are bigger than the sport. And how blessed am I that I get a group of people that I love, that I get to go through this process with @gophercheer

Thank you to the incredible coaching staff, our strength and conditioning staff, our medical staff, our office staff, the families that support our athletes, our alumni that laid the foundation, everyone else that invests in our team - and most of all, the athletes. The passion we do it with is what makes Minnesota such a great place.

I couldn’t be more proud of this program - where we are, how far we’ve come, and where we’re going 〽️ by @leaveitto_weave
