All I ever wanted/want in life, is a chance! A chance to prove my worth, a chance earn the respect of doubters, & a chance to make anyone that has ever supported me, proud! My dream is not money motivated, it’s not hater driven…it’s a burning internal desire to use my gifts!
The Buckeyes made their way from Big Ten country to come see our champ! Again…she is worth the trip! #RecruitJags #JagSpeed #GD2BAJ
When God opens doors, no man can shut them. Thank you, Coach, and The Ohio State University for seeing the gift in Angel. We’re grateful and faith-filled for what’s to come. @flaquer_diego @HURcoachdabb @mhhstrack @CoachJTII @DunnDarlene1 #GoBucks #WalkByFaith #CoveredAndCalled
The Astros finish the sweep in Arizona and now own the best record in the American League!
13yrs in a row at @THSCAcoaches coaching school. This year allowed me to catch up with a lot of people that have made this coaching journey a special ride! Seen former coaches, former players, former teammates & former competitors. Good luck to everyone this season!

I tell this to everyone I know! Not just track & field…but every sport. The burnout is real because kids are starting younger and training nonstop for a time goal and wanting the top results in every event, every year. Unrealistic expectations & goals lead to consistent burnout!
American track and field has a problem: burnout. Our athletes are exhausted by the time they reach the pro level. Time to rethink the system. Club track and field and the NCAA need an overhaul. Let’s learn from other countries and prioritize our athletes success over profits!🗣️💰
Today we celebrate the spirit of freedom, unity, and our nation's history. Wishing everyone a safe and joyful Independence Day! #JagSpeed #DASH #GD2BAJ
