This spring I have been serving as a Fellow for the Center for Sports Leadership and Innovation at the University of Texas. Headed by Daron Roberts, a former NFL coach, we set out to improve the leadership and life skill ability of high school and collegiate athletes, as well as educating coaches on the aspects[…]
In my experience, I’ve ran into a fair bit of resistance from women about resistance training. The infamous concern of getting big and bulky, along with the perception that having muscles is unattractive, isn’t always the easiest barrier for a coach or trainer to break through. I want to quickly help clear the air on[…]
Ok, ok I know it has been quite some time since I spoke to y’all. School started, and well, everything got real. Very real. A lot to catch up on! Life has been feeling like its moving at 100mph, all of a sudden I’m almost 24, a good friend of mine is 27 and getting married[…]
Hey everybody, I know it’s been awhile since I wrote, this internship has basically owned my life the last 9 weeks. I’ve only recently had a bit of a life outside of this, mainly via ultimate frisbee. Given that, I’ve been learning quite a bit about the art of coaching and have been getting[…]
So as of publishing this, I am 4 weeks into my internship with EXOS (formerly Athletes’ Performance). I have been wanting this internship for 2 years and finally got it! I’m going to describe briefly how this experience has been as it’s been rather interesting. From beating on NFL vets in ultimate Frisbee, to sharing[…]
Listen, you have no idea just how relieved I am right now. 3 hours ago (from when I started typing) I submitted my final project to close out my first year of graduate school at the University of Texas. The last 9 months have just been a roller coaster. From me feeling exhausted during my[…]
So this summer I just received my dream internship! I will be interning with EXOS, formerly known as Athlete’s Performance (they changed the name a couple years ago). I’ve been wanting to intern with them for over 2 years now but it wasn’t until I had to do the near unthinkable (what I thought was[…]
Ever since returning from my last trip abroad, travel has been at the peak of my conversations. When I meet new people, if they have/want to travel(ed) is one of the first few questions I ask them. As a matter of fact, I recently received a new roommate in my apartment, against my wanting, and[…]
Mexico is a great country. Between the landscape of Chiapas, the ancient ruins everywhere, the Mexican people, and the delicious tacos for 10 pesos it’s hard for me to think of anything not to like about Mexico! From climbing pyramids in rain, seeing a grandeur dance performance on a castle, shutting down the club with[…]
With my first semester of graduate school in the books, I’m just going to put this out there…It was just as bad as I imagined and maybe more. My first semester this past fall contained a significantly less amount of work to be completed. In undergrad I had an array of different types[…]
