Love how our volleyball girls continue to attack their training while in season! Their goals are to get stronger, faster and more powerful for their upcoming basketball, softball and track seasons!

Love the work ethic- keep getting after it girls!

Grateful to have had some of the best coaches and mentors growing up. They helped shape who I am today.

Also grateful that I still get to learn from some of the best coaches and mentors that I have the privilege to be around.

I guess that’s part of why I became a coach: to have the opportunity to help others through their own journey, just like others did for me.

Full circle.

Happy National Coaches Day!

3X Master’s National Champion

A little flashback to an April day in Salt Lake City.

I won’t remember the numbers but I will remember how special this one was. Getting to lift alongside Paige, my boys and my famOLY.

The real win is still getting to do what I love with the all of the people that I love.

“Discipline, consistency and patience. If you lack these, you won’t grow.”
-James Clear

It has been fun watching this kid grow strong and it’s been his consistency and commitment to his goals that have made the difference. Check out his journey and he’s just getting started!

14 years ago, our event, Pulling For Our Little Heroes , was inspired by the wish of a little girl named Kylee.

Kylee’s wish was simple, but incredibly powerful:

She wished that no other child would ever have to suffer from cancer.

Her wish has lived on for the past 14 years through this community. Every year, we come together to lift, compete, sweat, and most importantly, give back in honor of the little heroes.

We will continue to carry Kylee’s wish forward.

🎗️All money raised goes directly to our friends at the Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation NNCCF helping children and families affected by childhood cancer.

See you soon.

Thank you famOLY!

Iron sharpens iron.

Brothers Aidan and Leo Cruz have spent this year working hard, pushing each other, and getting better together.

We love seeing siblings train side by side- not just competing with each other, but encouraging each other, holding each other accountable, and helping each other grow.

This week, we get to watch Aidan take the next step in his journey as he heads off to play baseball at Ohlone. We couldn’t be more proud of him and excited to see what’s ahead.

And we absolutely love the heartfelt messages they left for each other. ❤️

Keep working hard, boys. Keep pushing each other. And never stop helping each other get better.

Vamos, Aidan!!
