🏈🏐🏆 FROM FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS TO SATURDAY MORNING CHAMPIONS!!! 🔥🔥

From cheering on my Cooper High School football boys last night to coaching eight 7th and 8th grade volleyball players at Next Level Academy this morning… ! 💪🏽❤️

And to think, it all started with a TEXT MESSAGE!
I was out on a job site when April, one of my personal training clients and a volleyball/fastpitch mom, messaged me:

If I sign the girls up for a tournament, would you coach them? My response? "IF YOU HELP ME!" 😂

Fast-forward a month and TWO practices later… meet PAW PATROL! 🐾🏐

Eight athletic young ladies from Ballyshannon Middle School, whose volleyball season ended a month ago, showed up for the BOO, SET, SPIKE Tournament ready to compete!

AND COMPETE THEY DID!!! 🔥

🏆 UNDEFEATED! EVERY GAME! POOL PLAY AND BRACKET PLAY! TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS!!! 🏆

What made this experience even more rewarding was watching these girls step into positions they don't ordinarily play! I told them they were ALL capable, and they proved it! They knew their rotations, made adjustments, communicated, and navigated their way through it all!

THAT'S GROWTH! THAT'S TEAMWORK! THAT'S COACHING! ❤️💪🏽

As a former collegiate volleyball player, it's always rewarding to step back onto the court, share a little knowledge, and watch young athletes put it into action!

A HUGE thank-you to April Smith for putting this together and to the parents for allowing me to be part of the experience!🙏❤️🏐

WOULD I COACH THESE GIRLS AGAIN? IN A HEARTBEAT!!! ❤️🏐

Congratulations, PAW PATROL! 🐾🏆 Keep learning, hustling, competing, and most importantly, HAVING FUN!

Oh, and YES… I coached in my USA Weightlifting singlet! 🇺🇸🏋🏽‍♀️ Hadn't worn it in a while, and I must admit…FELT KINDA NICE! 🤔😏 my singlet is a costume and it Halloween, right....right!

🥞☕️💻 BREAKFAST IS SERVED… AND SO IS THE BUSINESS PLAN! 😂💪🏾

Some people go out for breakfast to relax… (cinnamon pancake🔥 egg whites and bacon)

Me? I'm over here eating pancakes, plotting my next move, building businesses, and making connections! 😂

A little syrup, a little strategy, and a WHOLE LOTTA HUSTLE! 💯

💪🏾🔥

🏐🐯❤️ FROM THE CLASSROOM TO THE COURT!

It seems like every year, the first opportunity I get to watch high school volleyball is during tournament time! Last night was no different, and WOW… what a night!

I had the opportunity to watch the Beechwood Lady Tigers compete in the 9th Region Semifinals, and I was absolutely blown away!

I've had the pleasure of having some of these young ladies in class, but to see these same young ladies — these absolute BEASTS — competing on the court is something special! 💪🏽🔥

I continue to say it… volleyball has come a LONG way since my playing days! The speed, the power, the athleticism, and the level of competition are incredible. Northern Kentucky has some phenomenal female athletes, and it is exciting to witness the continued growth of this sport!

And what made the evening even more special was getting to witness some well-deserved recognition! 🏆

👏🏽 Coach Matt Long — 9th Region Coach of the Year!

👏🏽 Isabel "Bella" O'Brien — 9th Region Player of the Year!

Bella also reached an incredible career milestone, surpassing 1,320 digs! What an accomplishment! 💪🏽🏐

Congratulations to both on these outstanding honors!

As a former player, coach, and educator, there's something truly rewarding about watching the next generation of female athletes compete, grow, and represent their schools with pride.

I will ALWAYS be an advocate for girls' and women's athletics! These young ladies deserve our support, recognition, and encouragement — not just during tournament time, but throughout their entire athletic journeys.

Congratulations, Beechwood Lady Tigers, on advancing to the 9th Region Championship! 🐯❤️

Keep competing, keep inspiring, and never underestimate the impact you're making on the next generation of female athletes!

The future of women's sports is BRIGHT! 🏐🔥

🚨🔥 NORTHERN KENTUCKY, KEEP YOUR EYES ON THIS ONE! 🔥🚨

The next Sha’Carri Richardson of Northern Kentucky?! 👀💨🏃🏾‍♀️

My track star is BACK in the building, and Coach V couldn't be happier!! 💪🏾❤️

After several weeks away, my bonus niece, Sanchia, is back in the gym, and we're picking up RIGHT WHERE WE LEFT OFF! 🏋🏾‍♀️🔥

This young lady has SPEED, TALENT, DETERMINATION, and a whole lot of potential! She's representing Thomas More University Track & Field, and trust me when I say, YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO REMEMBER HER NAME! 👀💨

We're continuing to BUILD. Continuing to GROW. Continuing to get STRONGER, FASTER, and MORE EXPLOSIVE — one rep, one session, and one day at a time!

And beyond being her strength and conditioning coach, I'm proud to call this young lady my BONUS NIECE! ❤️ Watching her grow as an athlete and young woman makes this journey even more special.

The work doesn't stop. The goals haven't changed. We're just getting started AGAIN!

Thomas More Track & Field… GET READY! 🏃🏾‍♀️💨🔥

SANCHIA, YOUR TIME IS COMING! ⏳🏆

❤️🤍 HOLMES HIGH SCHOOL HALL OF FAME — CLASS OF 1993! ❤️🤍

Before I became Coach V, I was just a girl with a love for sports, a competitive spirit, and a work ethic that wouldn't quit! 💪🏾🏐🏀🏃🏾‍♀️

Volleyball. Basketball. Track. Cross Country.

SEASON AFTER SEASON AFTER SEASON! 😂

I swear, I NEVER went home after school! If I wasn't practicing, I was competing. And if I didn't have a game or a meet on the weekend, guess what? I WAS WORKING! 💰

There wasn't much downtime, but I wouldn't trade those years for anything.

Those long practices, early mornings, late nights, sore muscles, victories, defeats, and sacrifices were building something in me that I didn't fully understand at the time.

DISCIPLINE. DETERMINATION. RESILIENCE. LEADERSHIP. WORK ETHIC.

I wasn't just learning how to become a better athlete. I was learning how to become the woman I am today.

And who would've thought that all those years of running from one sport to another would eventually lead me to a life of coaching, mentoring, training, and helping the next generation of athletes discover THEIR potential?!

FULL CIRCLE MOMENT! 🥹❤️

Being inducted into the Holmes High School Hall of Fame is more than an honor. It's a reminder that the work you put in when nobody is watching can leave a legacy long after the final whistle blows.

To every young athlete out there: PLAY THE SPORTS! PUT IN THE WORK! EMBRACE THE CHALLENGES! Don't be afraid to try something new, and NEVER let anyone convince you that your dreams are too big.

You never know where those long days, tough practices, and sacrifices might take you.

FROM HOLMES HIGH SCHOOL BULLDOG TO HALL OF FAMER TO COACH V! 🏆

And the best part?

I'M STILL NOT DONE! 😜💪🏾

Once a Bulldog, ALWAYS a Bulldog! ❤️🤍🐾

📸🔥 WAY BACK WEDNESDAY... WELL, MORE LIKE THROWBACK EVERYTHING!! 😂💪🏾

DIFFERENT LOOKS. DIFFERENT PHASES. SAME BADASS WOMAN!! ❤️

Whew!! Looking through these old pictures has me reminiscing about my fitness journey over the years!

The lean days, the muscle-building days, the competition days, the clean-eating days, and of course... the days when I traded my gym clothes for a DRESS!! 👗😂

YES, I CLEAN UP NICE TOO!! 😜

One thing that's remained consistent throughout the years is my LOVE for fitness, athletics, and challenging myself!

I've learned so much about training, nutrition, eating clean, fueling my body, building strength, and appreciating the different versions of ME!

And let me tell you... THE BODY WILL CHANGE, BUT THE GRIND DOESN'T HAVE TO STOP!! 💯

Every phase taught me something. Every challenge made me stronger. Every accomplishment reminded me why I started!

At 52, I'm still learning, still training, still coaching, and STILL PUTTING IN WORK!

I'm not trying to look like the woman in these pictures again. I'M CELEBRATING HER!! Because every version of her helped build the woman I am today! ❤️

STRONG. FEMININE. ATHLETIC. CONFIDENT. UNAPOLOGETICALLY ME!! 💪🏾🔥

And trust me... THIS JOURNEY IS FAR FROM OVER!! 😤

WE DIDNT SHOW UP TO PLAY YAHTZEE FOLKS!!!
WE CAME TO GET THE DAMN SHIRT!!! 🏆🏐🔥

TEVIS WEIGHTLIFTING — DICKMANN’S VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONS!!! Somebody better come get me because I am STILL hyped!!!
You might NOT like us but you gotta respect our game 🏐😂🙌🏾

Started playing at 6:30, took a break for food and drinks courtesy of our $75 b**r-point winnings… and then went back out there to handle business! The girls had their drinks, and I was sipping coffee (pre-workout)ALL NIGHT. ☕😂

And that championship match?! Whewww. Those ladies were BRINGING IT! We won the first set, let the second one get away, and had to battle it out in the third. Everybody was watching, and we had to pull ourselves together.

We got down. We got back up.
We got in our heads. We talked it out.
We huddled up, found our rhythm, and CONNECTED THE DOTS when we needed to! 💪🏾🏐

Abby, Laura, Nikki, Jen, Azia, and me. THESE SIX RIGHT HERE!!! ❤️ Some of us were held together with braces and determination, but we kept getting back up and going after that next ball! 😂🙌🏾

Listen… I love having fun, but I’m gonna compete. That’s in my DNA. And tonight, all six of us brought what we needed to WIN IT ALL! 🔥

Putting teams together and keeping them going through a whole season takes WORK. Finding subs, juggling schedules, making sure we have enough to play… whew! To everyone who stepped in throughout the season, THANK YOU. And to these ladies who kept showing up on Mondays to play, laugh, catch up, and compete together — I am SO damn proud of yall! ❤️

I pride myself on finding my dream team, and LOOK AT US. We finished the regular season in fourth and walked away tonight as CHAMPIONS!!! 🏆

We won b**r points.
We won the championship.
AND WE FINALLY GOT THE DAMN SHIRT!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Yes, I’m sleeping in mine. Might wear it all week. Mind your business. I EARNED THIS SHIRT!!! 😂😂😂

TEVIS WEIGHTLIFTING, BABYYYY!!! THAT’S MY TEAM!!! ❤️🏐🏆💪🏾

Remember the name because we will be back in Spring of 2027💪❤️

Now THAT'S what I call a successful season!! 🤣🤣

Our first tournament game is at 6:30 PM against Team Cats!

And let me tell y'all something…

If you KNOW ME, you KNOW volleyball is MY ISH!!! 🏐❤️

At 52 YEARS YOUNG, I'm STILL blocking, STILL hitting, STILL serving, STILL competing, and STILL talking a little trash while I'm at it!! 😂😜

Retirement?! WHO?! WHERE?! NOT TODAY, BABY!! 🤣💪🏾

I've got a GREAT crew of ladies who show up, get after it, laugh, compete, and have FUN! That's what makes this so enjoyable!

And let's not forget… I had TWO teams in the league this season! Both finished in the TOP 8 out of 14 teams! Not too shabby, Coach V!! 😎🔥

Between coaching, training athletes, working, running businesses, and STILL finding time to get my own competitive fix… these cylinders just KEEP ON TURNING!! 😂

That athlete in me just REFUSES to clock out!! 🏐💪🏾❤️

So tomorrow, we're showing up, having fun, competing, and hopefully making a little NOISE in this tournament!

And when it's all said and done…

🍗 WINGS WAITING!
🍻 B**R WAITING!
😂 AND PROBABLY A WHOLE LOT OF ISH TALKING WAITING!

LET'S GOOOOO, TEVIS WEIGHTLIFTING!!! 🏐🔥💪🏾
