To all the athletes out there trying to gain weight, you can get double rice and double beans at Chipotle for no extra charge. That’s at least 400 extra calories for free. Eat the free calories. Get big.

Got my first, "What are those tattoos gonna look like when you're 80?". Well I'll also be rocking converse, skinny jeans, a t-shirt that's a little too tight, and obviously a beautiful beard. So swaggy AF, Susan, that's what they'll look like.

Any time there’s a post about women’s sports (like the WBB Natty) on social media a bunch of *men* make negative comments. Mostly, a bunch of bros who weren’t good enough to play college sports. Take a seat, NARP, actual athletes are doing work.

140 characters isn’t enough to tell Azure’s story. She overcame more adversity than you can imagine. She embodies every quality you could want in an athlete and human being. She’s sincerely the most positive person I have ever met. AND she is an absolute badass in the cage.

Brenna has been through way more than her fair share that last couple years. Grit, toughness, perseverance… doesn’t even begin to describe her. A pinch hit grand slam to send THAT school home is one hell of an exclamation point on it! Proud of you, @3_brenna !!!.
Tie game. Final inning. Wagon Wheel point on the line. @3_brenna is put in to pinch-hit and puts a laser beam of a grand slam over the right-field wall while still rehabbing an ACL injury to put @KentStSoftball ahead. You can't make this stuff up
