As I go through Sept. 1 for the first time as a coach, I wanted to share one thing I’m certain of that will never change for PSAs - PEOPLE MATTER. The logo on your chest only goes so far. Find a school; a HOME you can come back to no matter where life takes you, forever.

Lost in all of this madness is our coaches, particularly @UKCoachLawson . No one understands how much time and effort she puts into the program day in and day out. She’s the heart of the team and deserves all the praise in the world for how she’s handled the past few days #WeAreUK

IMO, #57 is 56 spots too low.. but what an amazing, well-deserved accolade & accomplishment for @samgress_ ! Sam stepped on campus a year and a half ago and has done nothing but train, compete and lead at a high level. Proud of & grateful to have her in the CLT. #GoldStandard
