parents are fired up for the season! The annual Parent Social had some good energy 🔋⚡️We are grateful to our football parents for raising some great Hawks!
On Tuesday 9/15, my Grandma Beverly succumbed to COVID-19. She was 82. Bev was compassionate, a Christian in her beliefs and in her actions. She was a goofy-spirited lady & passed that on to her kin. All of us are weirdos, but my gma was the Queen Weirdo, in the best way. 1/10

Unarmed black people get shot, knelt on, pepper sprayed and aggressively restrained, while white people can do *crazy & dangerous* stuff like this and get arrested without a scratch.

For the sake of humanity, empathy & compassion, plz wear a mask. I just want ppl to try to understand the pain that a family feels after losing a loved one – use that understanding when making the decision to wear a mask. 10/10
It's been a big week for women in football!

Imagine if this horrific set-up was what the men’s teams were presented for their weight training area. Oh, you can’t imagine? It’s because it would NEVER happen. Zero attempt for equity.
Stanford sports performance coach Ali Kerschner posted this to Instagram earlier today, comparing the men's and women's facilities in their respective bubbles.
Women's teams get six sets of dumbbells, yoga mats and a single stationary bike until the Sweet 16...
Just the beginning! I am so grateful to have a front row seat for this woman’s career. There will be failures and triumphs. One thing is certain:
@raellis02

is 26-12 in the months of Oct. & Nov. in the last five seasons. (6-0 in the last six games of the 2020 altered season). 50-25 in the last 10 seasons - 2013-2022. Iowa historically gets better as the season progresses, winning nearly 70% of its games in Oct-Nov.
“Well, it only kills 2% of people. Let it take its course.” My gma was a part of that % that ppl are simply brushing off as collateral damage. She didn’t deserve to go that way, & yours don’t deserve it either. The anti-masker protests are short-sighted & reek of ignorance. 9/10
CFB idea of the day. Programs should hire a president of NIL, have him collaborate with the Law School on campus, build an army of 8-10 future agents & start aggressively pursuing deals for your players. The recruiting arms race has evened out, this is the future.
This program was cut and reinstated. No certainty in August on if there’d be enough players on the team to compete. Proud of
@raellis02
and the resilient Cardinal. On to the conference tourney!
High fives ✋ from me to every girl that participates in these camps! Spots will fill fast tomorrow - don’t miss it! 💨 pre-registration only.

I tell this personal account for people to know what it is like to lose a loved one to COVID-19. I tell it so that people can hopefully put themselves in someone else’s shoes and experience empathy and compassion for humanity. 8/10
The nurses at the Hiawatha Care Center were outstanding. They ♥️ my gma as if she were their own. They allowed my mom to go into her room in a hazmat-like suit, w/ oxygen attached. My mom held my gma’s hand, w/ gloves, for 10 minutes – giving her comfort in physical touch. 6/10
HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE! Ella Schmit becomes the second girl in the history of the
@IHSAA
tournament to win a match. With a pin in 4 minutes she joins Megan Black (2012) as the only other female to win a match in the state tournament. Congratulations Ella!
We visited her, setting up camp outside of her window. It was excruciating to watch her deteriorate through glass. Bev was visibly warm & her breathing was heavy. She didn’t deserve that. She deserved having her daughters hold her hand and comfort her at her bedside. 5/10
Beverly had a sweet tooth like you wouldn’t believe. 🥧, 🍩, 🍪 – you name it. I couldn’t fathom how the woman stayed so dainty. She loved 🥛 & always told us that she stayed healthy bcuz of the calcium. Her quick wit & one-liners always had us in stitches. 3/10
I took a step away from the camera and instead decided to write about what it means to be a Black woman in sports and why the loud call for equality has never been political. Take a read....
The Big Ten takes the next steps in empowering its student-athletes with the announcement of the members of the Big Ten Anti-Hate and Anti-Racism Coalition and the launch of the Big Ten Voter Registration Initiative.
Bev would break out into her high school cheerleading chants to make us laugh. The only makeup she wore was bright pink lipstick, leaving evidence on our cheeks. She taught me how to skip as a little girl. She’d get up at 7AM & start vacuuming, waking all of us up “Grandma!” 2/10
The nurses let us dial the room phone, holding it up to my grandmother’s ear for us each to communicate to her. She wasn’t conscious, but we hoped she could hear our messages as we were masked and huddled outside her window. On Day 10, we saw Beverly take her last breath. 7/10
Stoked to watch this team start its season tomorrow!
@raellis02
begins her second year at the helm. From my perspective, I can say that this squad is enjoying the journey. Coach has ‘em on a great path.
“We don’t sweep what happened under the rug."
After Stanford field hockey was reinstated, it was left with a roster of 13 players and no goalies. A year later, the Cardinal are as united as ever, for themselves |
@sfchronicle
Beverly lived in a nursing home, she’d been there for 5 yrs with dementia. She got COVID-19 on 9/5/20. Her vitals started strong, resting ♥️ 62, oxygen 96, temp. 97. On day 7, it progressed. Her resting ♥️ jumped up 20+ beats, oxygen dropped into the 80s & temp. increased. 4/10
A great read and a lot of relatable experiences with what
