I recently watched an interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger where he talked about going from being a small, self-doubting kid to winning Mr. Universe 7 times. He described hanging photographs of boxers and athletes he idolized all over his room. Every morning, he would wake up early and look at the pictures, which were his goal. He wanted to look like those athletes. He described this as the source of his early motivation to push himself to train as hard as possible. He kept his goal in front and center, focused on it every day, and pushed...

Big Sandy running back Kade Strutz scores a lot of touchdowns but not all are created equal. Already ahead 32-0 with less than a minute to play in the first half, coach Larry Jappe urged the Pioneers he wanted "one more" before the half. Strutz appeared to have gotten it with 90 seconds on the clock but a holding penalty negated it. Backed up 10 yards to the visiting White Sulphur Springs Hornets' 29-yard line, Big Sandy collectively shrugged and called Strutz's no. 33 again. Reversing field...

These...
GILFORD -The Big Sandy Pioneer netters are sick of the bus. A duo of difficult defeats last week on the Hi-Line left the Lady Pioneer volleyball squad eager to hit the gym for a back-to-back-to-back series this week. Their own gym. For the first time this season. At long last. "The girls and myself are so excited," Pioneers coach Brittany McKenney said. "It is time for a home game. We have been on the road a lot." The Pioneers fell to 1-4 on the season, including an 0-4 mark in the District 6C...
My, how a soccer program for little people has grown quite big. About two-thirds of the children eligible are suiting up for Big Sandy Soccer this year.

A record 80 players have formed three U6 (ages 6 and younger) teams, coached by the tandems of Kelly McGrath and Brandy Terry; Katie Heppner and brother Riley Kurtz; and Jessica Butler and Heather...
