@kristenhurleyusa is taking over the USABS Instagram stories tomorrow through next week! Don't miss out on a behind the scenes peek at this adventure seeking skeleton athlete's life. #underarmour #banff #getoutside

Some snatch pulls from Monday’s session paired off with some light pause snatch, really focused on rear chain, back glutes and hamstrings and this defiantly ticked all the boxes. #teamireland #irishfitfam #weights #lifting #olympiclifting #healthy #fitnessaddict #ireland #irish #motivation #exercise #gym #fitfam #fitspo #active #athelte #training #success #youcandoit #olympicweightlifting #snatch #power #snatches #crossfit

Day 6 🇬🇭: we traveled to cape coast. The former capital of Ghana. Visited #Kakumnationalpark followed by an emotional 😭 first time visit to the Cape Coast Castle where my ancestors suffered for 300 years. Their pain has strengthened me even more to go after my mission of becoming the #hopeofabillion. The walls can’t speak, but I could feel their pain. Millions of slaves were Kept in the dungeon with limited sunlight for 3 months before being shipped off or killed and thrown in the sea via the door of no return. They slept, ate, and bled in their own poop and urine. 😥 #ghana #yearofreturn2019 #capecoastcastle

Last week I had the opportunity to head down to Adecco Group North America HQ to help select this year’s #CEO1Month. I had the best time meeting our finalists, reconnecting with the executive team and connecting with colleagues that I hadn’t yet had the fortune of meeting. Also, anytime I get to hang with this girl gang is time well spent 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 . . . #CEOforOneMonth #adeccogroup #athlete #athletelife #travel #florida #jacksonville #whoruntheworldgirls #girlgang #lovewhatyoudo #sunshine #liveadventurously #bemore

This girl is the definition of @fearlesslygirl - this pst year she sat out the season in order to fight for athlete safety and against bullying and harassment. She’s one of the strongest women I know and someone I constantly [email protected] by. On #kindergirlworldday - I’m honored to know @kailliehumphries for all she has done to make this world a better place for all girls. Pass it on. Who’s your fearless girl?

Happy #ClassroomChampions Day! I’m proud to be part of @classroomchamps because I get to teach, inspire and motivate the next generation to dream big and that if they work hard enough, they can be and become whoever they want to be.

Ungefähr so hat es sich heute beim sprinten angefühlt 😂 nur nicht ganz so warm 😉 aber alles Jammern hilft ja nichts, das Training muss gemacht werden. Wer weiß wozu es gut ist ☺️ Und wie ist das Wetter bei euch so? ________________________________________ #tb #throwback #waterfall #bali #itsraining #woistdiesonne #immerweiter #wirfuerd #bobsleigh #germanbobladies #roadtoaltenberg #roxy #bikini

You are not your abuse. You are not what they did to you. You are not your trauma. You are the cleverness that survived. You are the courage that escaped. You are the power that hid and protected your spark of light. You will fan that spark into a raging fire with love, and burn all lies and deceit to ash. You will OVERCOME! . . #abuse #verbalabuse #mentalabuse #notright #metoo #stopharassment #nobullying #riseabove #notalone #respect #workplacesafety #weallhuman #abuseofpower

Super day on the track well treadmill...this @woodwaytreadmills is a super piece of kit, got some accelerations in with bounds and a bit of upper body work!

Happy @classroomchampions Day to all the classroom champs, teachers and all the #TeamCanada and #TeamUSA mentors who inspire guide, learn, teach! #WeAreChampions #ClassroomChampionsDay. My favourite part of being a classroom champion mentor is seeing my classroom champion mentees come out of their shell and be playful and funny and tell me stories about their lives. Most of the time you are giving them lessons and challenges and when they have the opportunity to respond to the challenges and collaborate with their classmates, amazing things happen! This year my classes learned carolling songs and went to nursing homes to sing during the holiday season. Another class held and entrepreneurship fair and sold crafts they had made to raise money for the food bank!!! Another classroom gardens in memory of a lost classmate and friend! I am just so amazed and thankful to be apart of this great initiative! #thank you @classroomchampions

Day 5 🇬🇭: Erica and I traveled 6 hours to Penton a small village in #Ghana to visit one of the most hardworking #farmers in Ghana, Kwabena Obeng Gyasi. His community depends on his farming and he has employed about 75 people in his community. This man is inspiring. I love his #cocoa farm and all the other things he plants so his community can survive. “Cocoa is the chief agricultural export of Ghana and Ghana's main cash crop. Behind Ivory Coast, Ghana is the second largest cocoa exporter in the world.” #forwardthinking #resourceful #cocoabeans #corn #yams #fruits #oranges #limes #plantains #advocado #coconut #gh #hopeofbillion #akwasifrimpong #yearofreturn2019

Day 4 🇬🇭 : Today was a very special day. Erica finally met my grandmother, #Minka. The woman who took care of me until I was 8 years old in Ghana. Her wise words has made me who I am today. “Akwasi, what you need for success is already in you; it’s a matter of #believing in yourself, having the will to work hard and to never give up.” #hopeofabillion #yearofreturn2019

Thanks to @cramerproducts and @theraband, our athletes are able to train hard this offseason and stay healthy. 💪 #winteriscoming and we’ll be ready!

Heute hatte ich das Vergnügen das BMW Motorrad Zentrum zu besuchen. Trotz der leichten Skepsis in meinem Gesicht 🤨 war es ein sehr interessanter und lehrreicher Nachmittag. Vielen Dank @bmwmotorrad! 🏍 #bmw #bmwwinterfreude #motorrad #motorcycle #berlin #driving

@elanameyerstaylor was honored last night by the National Center for Civil and Human Rights at the 5th Annual #PowertoInspire tribute dinner along with Alina Diaz, Christian Fischer, and the Honorable Andrew Young. Is there anything she can't do!? Not only is Elana an Olympic medalist, a World Champion and multi World Cup medalist, but she's also president of the Women's Sport Foundation and is passionate about fighting for gender equality. Join us in congratulating Elana for earning this prestigious award! Well deserved, and no doubt we'll be cheering for years to come for this talented, dedicated and fierce young woman. We are so proud of her and all of her accomplishments on and off the ice! #fierce #genderequality #cantstopwontstop

Some super smooth fun high steppy uppies today courtesy of @zaneduquemin. Things are slowly getting more consistent and manageable to allow higher training intensities following all the injuries these past years.

Wow! Last night was simply amazing. I am extremely humbled to have been honored by the @ctr4chr at the 5th Annual #PowertoInspire tribute dinner along with Alina Diaz, Christian Fischer, and the Honorable Andrew Young. To share the stage with these amazing people motivates me to continue to fight for gender equality in all its forms. Thank you to the National Center for Civil and Human Rights for this honor. Thank you to everyone who helps me continue this fight- I look forward to engaging even more! @womenssportsfoundation @usabs @teamusa @classroomchampions @cocacola @comcast @gwuniversity @devryuniversity @ibsfsliding
