Speechless moments. So emotionally proud of this team. The best teams are player-led and this team embodied that. It was all them! Every player owned their role, put in the work, remained confident & poised. Grateful to be a part of the ride.
Humbled by our Tosa community ♥️
Twas the eve before basketball season.
Coaches - remember that your impact will long precede the record. Demand the standard, lead with care, and have fun. Stay healthy folks.

Raider Alum suited up this college season:
Macalester - Sadie 26’
Lawrence - Lyndia 26’
Eureka - Malaya 26’
Michigan Tech - Ellie 26’
NIU - Emma 26’
DePaul - Mikaia 26’
Oakton - Cassie 25’
And a lot of others balling out in intramurals 💪🏻
We were also 18-53 in a 3 year span. Puts coach’s record into perspective.
Players matter, let’s be honest. Do the best with what ya got. Strive for peak potential and have a lotta fun doing it!
Just shy of a double-double with 17 pts and 9 assists in her 2nd collegiate game for @MikaiaLitza
I mean 🤷🏼♀️ 🔥 🧈
Help me understand high school coaches hiring a basketball trainer to come work with their team during the season. Isn’t that what the coach’s job is suppose to be? Skill development?
I get not in season, coach can’t always work with players. But like Nov-Feb? Head scratcher.

WOW. How lucky is WI Volleyball to have Kelly Sheffield at the helm.
"The tendency, the human nature is when you see somebody, especially a female, that has a lot of confidence you try to knock them down. You try to look for things...what is wrong, how dare you have that kind of confidence. Which is just such a shame because we are trying to go the exact opposite direction."

Jr Raider tryouts this week. We have +125 girls that signed up. Wild that when I first started we had 50.
I’d like to believe part of it has to do with the legacy players leave behind, even after the final buzzer. Where impact isn’t defined by wins.
Great week to be a Raider!

On a walk, I saw a girl and her grandma playing basketball (go grandma). I asked her if she plays for a team, she said the Raiders, she’s in 5th grade and tryouts are coming up. I told her that I am the high school head coach and her face lit up.
Love Raiders in the driveway 🥹

Got some morning miles w/ @BaselineBanter3. Finally got a chance to listen to @Coach_Peplinski episode. Knows what it’s like to have to build a program from ground up. Not easy. Talks about balance. Girls participation #. How we can better advocate for girls hoops. Great listen!
One time my brother and I played horse and he shot free throws the entire time and I still think about that game and how annoying it was.
15 years later and I’m thinking it’s time for a rematch so maybe then I won’t randomly think about it 😅

Some favorites for the 1st & 2nd graders: 2v1 Advantage and Dribble Pac-Man
They absolutely LOVE these. Bonus is that they are solid developmental drills.
Class of 2036 loading 🔋 😂

Girls, want to evaluate your game? Play against boys. Find pickup games or a 1v1 partner. Faster game & quicker decisions. Get outside your comfort zone, that is where the ultimate growth lives! 📈

To be included on a list with @idketterhagen and @coach_walz is pretty surreal.
