seasons have been inspirational! So much resilience, teamwork, passion!
Hands down one of my top 3 fav scare reactions. Emma needs to be a bit more skeptical of large boxes lingering in the training area. Shoutout to athletic training staff for the help with this one! 🍁🙈🎃👻💀🥳
Loving this bus ride home from Harrisonburg. Good tunes + Morgan Berman constant commentary + lots of smiles + Vito’s personal pizzas + Big time program win. Pretty epic Wednesday night, soaking it up!
@HokiesLax
Pretty positive we nailed it. Lucky to be surrounded by a staff who goes hard in the paint for holidays! Setting the bar high for the team’s costumes tonight…
As I look to the future with
@HokiesLax
I have so much appreciation for another life changing opportunity. Excited for the chance to do what I love at the highest level with an awesome team of young women. Blacksburg, here we come! LET’S GO HOKIES!!!
It’s October 1st!! Which means, it’s the first day of scare season. Which also means it’s an ideal time to send a freshman to the storage shed to fetch some shooting targets! 👻 🍁🎃💀
Not many coaches can say they coach TOUGH kids who WORK for what they want and SACRIFICE individual wants for team needs. I can. It’s been a heck of a year
@ArmyWP_WLax
and it’s still just the beginning! ❤️
Thank you

fans (even tho my daughter said she has a Duke bball at home)… appreciate you!!!
Needed to run off some post-season sadness. So here I am standing on our home field as it converts to the site where our 13 firsties will commission as officers 2 wks from now. This is where they battled to build our program & where they will take their oaths to battle for 🇺🇸!
Anyone else just completely over all the flopping, grabbing head/body parts and dramatizing to try and play the refs and get calls? Like once or twice a game… sure. But teams that do it every play?! On offense and defense?! Just play the game how it’s meant to be played.
110 flights of stairs in honor of 9/11. Important to take the time and remember those that stood in the gap between good and evil. Forever grateful for the heroism that prevailed that day and in the days to follow, both here in the US and abroad.
@HokiesLax
A few more from today with Coach K. Have idolized him since I was a teenager... so it really doesn’t get much better than this. Go Duke! Go Army! Trust your work and beat everyone!
My heart is full today! Thinking back on the last 7 years with
@ArmyWP_WLax
, I feel the utmost gratitude & pride. I have been surrounded by the absolute finest among us & they have forever changed my life. Nothing short of an absolute honor to lead these amazing young women ❤️
Tough loss last night but I am positive that the toughness, confidence & passion we played with gave everyone a reason to be excited for the future!
@HokiesLax
has given me endless moments of pride, awe & fulfillment this season- & it feels like we are just getting started!
Still lol-ing from this scare 😂 I mean, who is THAT comfortable with a random hand on their shoulder during their first collegiate head shot photo shoot!?

Quite possibly the coolest lax sticks known to humankind. Thanks

Today was a good day. First drill I jumped into after having the baby. Felt young/alive/semi-athletic. Thanks

over the last few months! Best is yet to come for you all in March 🙌
Have got off numerous calls with prospects today and thought to myself “man, I hope my daughters turn out like them!”… so yeah, the day has been going great! I love sensing the excitement, intellect, joy, grace & gratitude through the phone ❤️
Stepped back on the field today with
@ArmyWP_WLax
for the first time since March 13th. It was glorious. We all have such a reinvigorated gratitude for what we do & who we do it with. The last months have really reminded me to be present & cherish the opportunities to connect.
Today, my toddler called her lacrosse stick a “tennis racket”. This has gotta be my biggest parent failure to date. With that being said, I support her in whatever endeavors she chooses ha

Not the ultimate result we wanted against the

team in country, but I am so proud of the fight that we showed! Was a fun night out at Thompson, and the team left it all on the field! We are headed in the right direction!
Last night wasn’t the ending we had envisioned but it takes nothing away from what

has been able to achieve throughout a challenging year. Positive. Competitive. Resilient. Cohesive. Believers. Team 6 has set the bar high. So thankful they gave everything they had❤️
The more w lax I watch on tv (and in person), the more appreciation I have for an officiating crew that does NOT reward defenders who grab their heads to try and draw a phantom illegal follow thru after a goal against 🙌👊🏻🤙 (cc:

back!! My girls! Missed them! So excited for the year ahead with this group, and eager to see the positive impact our freshman class will make!
Could not be a more beautiful day at West Point to honor the class of 2020! Even more impressive than graduating from one of the most prestigious & rigorous institutions in the WORLD is the profession you are willingly entering into! With vision you lead!
What an honor to be inducted into the Baltimore Chapter of the US Lacrosse Hall of Fame tonight. It truly took a village to help bring my goals and dreams to life. Thankful for amazing coaches, teammates, friends and family!
Today would have been our storied rivalry game against Navy. We are all dealing with the absence of being together on this day in different ways. For instance, Brooke rucked 26 miles. Conversely, I ate 26 sugar cookies.
So proud of
@GoArmyWestPoint
for bringing the Army Navy game to Michie Stadium for a historic and victorious occasion, especially during this challenging year. Kudos to everyone who worked so hard to pull it off- thank you!! 💛💪🏼🇺🇸🖤
Great way to kick off scary season. Key scare tactic: it’s always a good idea to grab the golf cart and visit the kids on their home turf. Day time scares sometimes tricky to pull off, but we got

BREAKING NEWS 🚨🚨🚨: I beat my dad in a set of tennis for the first time in my 34 years on this earth. My dad was under the weather, we were playing with flat balls and his racket needs to be regripped. But still... TODAY IS A GREAT DAY TO BE ME!
Congrats to these 13 studs for completing Beast following their March Back on this beautiful August morning! Can’t wait to get the whole band back together and tackle year

girls this afternoon. She then broke out with a “Go Army” chant.
Let it be known that on Friday, Jan 6, I, Kristen Skiera, beat my father, Steve Waagbo, in a tennis match! I took him 6-3, 6-4 to win the match of my lifetime! I will be signing autographs outside the Burrows-Burleson Tennis Center tomorrow at 9am!
Have become more accustomed to the sound of helicopters these days (Go Army!) but seeing the Blue Angels fly by the Hudson reminds me of where my career started (Beat Navy!)
Congrats to our new cadets for completing Beast today! I love you all for the contagious energy, positivity and toughness you have displayed the last four weeks. Our
