Spring Break in Miami (OH)!!!!

 Hello my readers, last weekend, I had the opportunity to take my much-needed spring break and visit my older sister and younger brother in Miami, Ohio. It wasn’t just a trip to catch up with family; it was a chance to escape the hustle of college life and get a chance to find myself in a different environment because sometimes we all need a chance to recharge and have a simple change of scenery.

The excitement of visiting my sister, who’s been living in Miami for a while, was very noticeable even the days before actually arriving. It had been a few months since I’d last seen her, and I couldn’t wait to catch up on all the little things—the funny stories, the life updates, and everything in between. My younger brother, who plays football at the university, was also a big part of the trip. As we spent time together, I realized how much I missed those moments of connection with my siblings.

What struck me the most, though, was the power of being in a new place. Miami (OH) has a unique charm, with its quiet streets, picturesque college town vibe, and lush green spaces. I could feel the change in my mindset as soon as I arrived. The shift from my usual surroundings, whether it’s the boring area or just the routine of daily life, helped me step back and gain a fresh perspective. The slow-paced atmosphere allowed me to take a breath and appreciate the simple moments that you don't get in Ada.

The importance of having a change of scenery cannot be overstated. When you’re in the same environment day in and day out, it’s easy to fall into a routine that leaves little room for reflection or growth. A new location, whether it’s a small town like Miami or a faraway destination, has a way of unlocking a new frame of mind. It provides the mental space you need to recharge, reset, and gain clarity. It’s like pressing the reset button on your thoughts and emotions.

As I spent time with my family in Miami, I realized that it’s not just about the place itself, but the quality time spent with loved ones in a setting that feels fresh. The trip was a reminder of how important it is to occasionally step away from your regular surroundings. It allows you to return with new energy, a broader perspective, and a deeper appreciation for both the familiar and the new.

Social Media Marketing using TikTok Shop

In this week's chapter we talked about social media marketing on the constantly growing app TikTok and in this post I want to dig a bit deeper into one of TikTok’s newest features. It has already been well established that TikTok has proven itself to be more than just a platform for viral dances and memes. With over 1 billion active users, it’s become a powerhouse for brands looking to connect with audiences in creative and authentic ways. And with the introduction of TikTok Shop, the platform has officially blurred the lines between content and commerce, opening up new possibilities for marketers and businesses of all sizes. At its core, TikTok thrives on short form video content that feels organic and engaging. Unlike traditional ads, TikTok videos are often native in feel, blending storytelling, humor, trends, and creativity. This authenticity builds trust, and trust is gold in marketing. Now, with TikTok Shop, that trust can be converted directly into sales without users ever l...

Week 2: The Lift that almost took me out!

       Hello to my readers we are now on week 2 of my spring camp journey. To do a small recap on what happened last week we just began the year and had our first team meeting with the head coach to go over the standard and go over the scheduling for the following spring season. Also that slipped my mind last week is that we have now added a brand new strength coach who I’m a fan of and that some of our former players are going to be the assistant strength coach which I believe will help us get over the hump this coming season. Now to get into this week after a bit of a recap, we have finally gotten to week two and to be all honest it was a way harder week then the first one.   Starting off strong on Monday we had our usual morning lifts. Now mind you our lifts are a different style then it was last year and what I mean by that is last year we were big on force output on our weight which I excelled at but now it’s a bit different with Coach Walker (The strengt...
