community. Thank you for your love & support. This past week has been unreal. I am so lucky to have been coached & loved by my dad for 29 years. I am you dad. Us kids are ready.
Well, my mom surprised me with the most special gift I have ever gotten. She wrote a childrens book about my life: “Our Mighty You” 😭 I cried so hard as she read it to me. I got to relive all my amazing memories with irreplaceable people. Purchase at
What an awesome TEAM WIN! It takes each one of us!! Not just in the game but all that we GIVE in the practices, workouts and time together leading up to the game! Let’s keep grinding, girls!!!

Happy birthday to this STUD!!! I look up to
@coachbbjork
so much as a coach and person. I’m not sure what is greater, his compassion for others or his humor!!!

- Episode 1
It is almost the 50th anni. of Title IX of 1972. Young girls believe they can do anything. So why do females only make up 8% of CEOs, 24% of NCAA ADs, 0% of USAs Presidents, get only 5.4% of all sports media coverage? Your girls deserve better.
I may have taken the long way around, but PLAYING at NCAA Division 3 level was the most fulfilling experience of my life. The memories of winning championships with my best friends will never fade. In D3, the hardest workers are rewarded w/ the most success

@simpson_SAAC
A player who did not hit 1,000 points in high school but Now in college has outworked everyone to lead the NATION in ALL DIVISIONS in 3 point percentage. Find joy in the grind and exceed expectations!
@jenna_taylor30
is an example for all!
This is my boyfriend’s mom, Ellen. Her work told their employees they could wear Iowa Hawkeye or Iowa State Cylcone gear to work today. She chose to rep

Is anyone surprised at all by this? It is no coincidence that they are the two players who spent the most time in the gym and continue to do so. So much respect for

Week 1 of
@SimpsonCollege
N.B.A. (Noon Ball Association) was a very competitive first series. MVP: Athletic Trainer Rebby drained 4 Three-pointers! Strength Coach Craig Conrardy sentenced with 1 game suspension after a Flagrant 2 Foul elbow to Wrestling Coach Nate Hansen’s face.
Happy 10th birthday to my sister Shanae! My dad always made birthdays so special. He would always say how special birthdays were in heaven. I know he is celebrating his youngest, spunkiest daughter today. They were inseparable the last decade. He will be with her extra today! ❤️
This is not a fluke! It is the result of the GRIND that happened this summer and continues to happen OUTSIDE of practice! So proud of my girls!!!! ❤️🔥💛
Happy Birthday to this STUD!!! I'm so lucky to work with
@jeter_m
who is not only an amazing coach but is a loving father and husband, a strong Christian, a true leader & is always up for a game of 1 on 1. For a birthday present, I'll let you beat me the next time we play 😉

- Episode 2
Girls in sport are 2 times more likely than boys to drop out by age 14. Girls need same-gendered role models playing sports. Also, women's sports receive the same amount of news coverage as they did in the 1980s. Your girls deserve better.
We are excited to announce Claire Johnson as our new full-time assistant coach!
Claire has been with our program for the last six years, serving as a part-time assistant the past two seasons.

1st day for my girls at Longfellow Middle + Central High School! 🤍 My sisters are brave, resilient, kind, strong, beautiful—gotta stop 🥲 Our dad is proud of us all but especially proud of Shanae + Summer.
Incredible season for
@CoachSteinkamp
and his team. Very lucky and excited to be working along side him and his staff
@CoachCRiordan
! Go Dutch, baby!!!
In his first year at the helm, Joe Steinkamp is your A-R-C Coach of the Year! He led the Dutch to an 18-7 (13-3) record and the regular season conference championship!
The incredible group of guys in this program made it all possible. Congrats, coach!
We need more advocates for women! If the biggest media outlet for sports aren’t even including women in conversations, how do we expect anyone to?! Speak out & acknowledge women as GREAT ATHLETES! Many females athletes’ accolades are the best among ALL athletes, male or female...
Juneteenth celebrates, the day Major General Gordon Granger&Union troops reached Galveston, TX w/ news of the Civil War’s end. Taking place 2 1/2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, which represented the end of slavery in the US.
But our work is not done!!!
“If we start educating young boys on how women can be leaders & can teach you things, it won’t be abnormal, it won’t be uncomfortable to have a female boss or female coworker, or for that female boss or coworker to be assertive & confident—it’ll be normal.”

Not only was my mom at every game while I was a college athlete, she traveled over 1,000 miles to watch me play as an alumni 2 separate occasions! She’s crazy!! Crazy about her kids! Thank you, Mom for your infinite love!!!!

Love this girl and her mindset, “find you a group of guys that will push you and make you better, because it makes your teammates better in the long run.”

My sister Summer is a BOSS. Asked for a BLT for her bed time snack at 11pm.. this was also her after school snack and dinner. We shot hoops at 5pm and she had AAU practice from 7-9pm. She’s 13.

Research has found that 80% of our thoughts are negative.
Thoughts become words.
The average person says about 16,000 words per day.
Words become actions.
Actions become habits.
Habits become character.
Choose your thoughts wisely.
Be picky with your words.
Choose optimism.
Asked the Girl Scout at Hyvee how much for a box of cookies?
“Four dollars for one box, eight dollars for 2 boxes, and twelve dollars for 3 boxes!”

Also asked her if the new S’mores cookie was good and she said “Yes! It tastes just like chocolate!”
