A new jersey doesn’t change who you are it gives you another opportunity to show people exactly what you stand for.

I’m proud to begin this season with the New York Wolves and humbled to lead this team as captain. My goal is simple, compete with everything I have, lead with integrity, and help build a culture where effort, accountability, and trust come before anything else. 🫶🏽

Individual thank yous will follow but for now first and foremost thank you lord for the gifts and opportunities you continue blessing me with.

@blackbear.athletics You guys have no idea what you mean to me and what your support does for me physically and mentally thank you so much for your love.

@tyrsport @manateezdesign thank you for love and support it doesn’t go unnoticed I appreciate you more than you guys know. Thank you for trusting me to represent you. 🫡

@nywolveshq Let’s hunt!! 🐺😈

Getting back into a routine and my body is making sure I know it 😂

Front squats, paused front squats, and a 40-minute AMRAP today.

Feels good to be putting in the work again, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to tomorrow’s rest day.

Back to work. New gear. Same goals. 🐻

Took a little time away from training, but it feels good to be moving again. Building things back up, one session at a time.

And what better way to get back after it than with an early look at the new @tyrsport CXT Elite V2. 👟

Big thank you to TYR for sending these over before the official October 20th release. Excited to put them to work.

Playoff week.

At this point, more isn’t always better. Today was about getting the body moving, working through some mobility and making sure I’m ready when it matters.

Used @gowod_mobilityfirst to guide today’s recovery session.

The work isn’t always the workout.

Sunday routine 🫶🏽

Coach. Train. Grocery run. Meal prep. Reset for another week.

God is good 😊

Appreciate @littleleaffarms , @allgoodles and @proteinfueledfood for keeping me fueled along the way 🤝

@blackbear.athletics

Do you like adding extra protein to your meals!?

Still doing things that scare me. Still finding out what I’m capable of.

These shots are from our last regular-season match in Dallas win and we were in.

We got it done.

I love competing because it keeps putting me in moments where there’s nowhere to hide. You either show up or you don’t.

Dallas punched our ticket.

Next weekend: playoffs🐺

Job’s not finished.

68 years old. And getting stronger. 💪 Heyyy Loretta!

Her doctor told her she needed to move more and start using her muscles so that’s exactly what we’ve been working on.

Nothing crazy. Nothing intimidating.

Just 1-on-1 training built around her getting stronger, moving better, building confidence and staying active.

And that’s what I love about coaching.

One hour I can be helping someone simply become stronger and healthier.

The next I can be helping someone prepare for their first HYROX, improve their CrossFit performance, get stronger in Olympic weightlifting, or take their competitive training to another level.

You don’t have to be a certain age or fitness level to work with me. We start where YOU are and train for where YOU want to go.

Whether you’re looking for:
• 1-on-1 personal training
• HYROX training
• CrossFit training
• Olympic weightlifting
• Strength & conditioning
• Or you just want to move better and get stronger

I’m here for it. 🐻

📍 Black Bear Athletics

Not sure where to start? DM me “START” and tell me what your goal is. More spots opening up!

And follow along for coaching, training, competition and everything in between. Plus the Grid playoffs are coming 😜
