    Injuries, redshirts, and getting passed over are not glitches in the system. They are the system. The athletes who last are the ones who stay, compete, and keep showing up when every excuse says walk away.Welcome to Oak Performance Radio, where we talk about what it really takes to perform at a high level. The show looks at training, preparation, and decision-making through real athletes, coaches, and experiences, on and off the field.Episode HighlightsIn today's episode, Adam Lane sits down with Division II right side Molle Hobson and outside hitter Bree Messenger to get brutally honest about college volleyball. They walk through double ACL tears, redshirting, losing a spot to a fifth year, and why they stayed instead of jumping in the transfer portal. They break down the real difference between Division I and Division II, how coaching communication and team culture decide your experience, and what recruits and parents need to be asking before they commit anywhere.Episode OutlineIntroduction and Host WelcomeBrie's Injury and College ExperienceMolle's College Experience and RedshirtingTeam Dynamics and Recruiting AdviceChallenges and Lessons LearnedAdvice for Future AthletesFinal Thoughts and Future PlansEpisode Chapters00:00 Intro00:27 Meet Molle and Bree01:49 Molly's path to St. Cloud State02:52 Bree's VC United and UCM journey04:02 Senior year ACL tear and missed freshman season06:48 Second ACL tear and rebuilding identity08:53 Finding value while injured and on the sideline11:46 What injury taught Bree about leadership17:16 Molle's redshirt year and mental battles20:32 Losing the spot to a fifth year and handling it28:45 D1 vs D2 reality and choosing the right fit40:01 How to evaluate coaches, teams, and social media55:40 Adam's message on the weight room and no regrets1:00:27 Where to follow Molle and BreeConclusionMolle and Bree show what happens when you do not get the clean, straight line you pictured. Their path has included surgeries, sitting, and hard coaching decisions, but they stayed, asked for honest feedback, and kept doing the work. The big takeaway is simple: pick an environment where you are coached as a person, stay accountable for your effort in the gym and on the court, and be willing to fight for your spot without bailing the second it gets uncomfortable.Action TakenBree returns from two ACL reconstructions, gets fully cleared, and commits to attacking a real on court season instead of letting injuries write the ending.Molle heads into her junior year ready to fight for the right side spot after sitting behind a fifth year, with clear feedback from her coach on where she stands.Both athletes commit to:Staying at programs where they are known as people, not just numbers.Owning their role, even when that role is injured, redshirted, or benched.For athletes and parents, they outline concrete steps:Ask direct questions on visits about playing time, communication, and how coaches handle injuries.Spend time stalking rosters and social media to see how the team actually lives, trains, and treats each other.Stop chasing the D1 label and chase the right fit, culture, and staff.Adam reinforces:If you skip the weight room, you are choosing to leave performance and durability on the table.Training, sleep, and taking care of your body are part of your job, not extras.CTASubscribe to Oak Performance Radio and share this with a player or parent who is in the middle of recruiting and needs a straight answer about D1 vs D2.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oakperformancelabInstagram: @oakperformanceConnect with Molle and Bree:@breemessenger44@mollie.hobson Thank you for listening to Oak Performance Radio. Keep training like your spot is not guaranteed, ask harder questions, and choose teams that make you tougher and better in every part of your life.

    In this episode, Andrew sits down with Naya to discuss her volleyball journey from a young athlete in Hawai‘i to competing at the Division I level. Naya shares how she first discovered volleyball after trying several sports as a child, the impact of club volleyball and travel tournaments on her development, and how competing alongside and against high-level athletes helped her realize that playing collegiate volleyball was possible. She also reflects on growing up in Hawai‘i's year-round volleyball culture and the lessons learned through training, competition, and pursuing goals at increasingly higher levels.The conversation explores the recruiting process, her commitment to the University of Utah, and the excitement surrounding her high school career as she continued to develop as both an athlete and person. However, her journey was far from straightforward. Naya shares the challenges of sustaining an ACL injury and surgery during her sophomore year of high school, only to later suffer an ACL injury to her opposite knee during her senior season. She discusses the physical, mental, and emotional challenges of rehabilitation, staying connected to her team, communicating with college coaches throughout the recruiting process, and learning to focus on what she could control each day.Throughout the episode, Naya provides an honest look at resilience, patience, and perseverance during some of the most difficult moments of her athletic career. She discusses returning to the court, rebuilding confidence in her body, continuing to pursue her goals, and eventually competing at both the University of Utah and UC San Diego. These experiences not only shaped her as an athlete but also inspired her passion for helping others, ultimately leading her toward a career in physical therapy. Whether you're an athlete, coach, parent, or healthcare professional, this episode offers valuable lessons on overcoming adversity, pursuing long-term goals, and finding growth through life's challenges.

    Oulu liegt im Nordwesten Finnlands an der Ostseeküste. Dieses Jahr darf sich die Stadt mit dem Titel „Europäische Kulturhauptstadt 2026“ schmücken. Oulu ist mit gut 200.000 Einwohnern die nördlichste Großstadt der Europäischen Union und fünfgrößte Stadt Finnlands.In Oulu lebt der Underground. Der „Schreiende Männerchor“ und die Weltmeisterschaft im Luftgitarre-Spielen kommen aus Oulu. Und an einer Wand prangt seit den 1980er-Jahren ein Graffiti-Schriftzug „Paska Kaupunni“, was „Scheiß Stadt“ heißt. Doch die Ouluer tragen diesen Titel mit einem gewissen Stolz.Oulu ist ein Paradies für Radfahrer. Fast 1.000 Kilometer umfasst das eigene Radwege-Netz, fast immer fernab vom Autoverkehr, kreuzungsarm dank Unterführungen und mit eigenen Schnellradwegen - so kommt man fix von A nach B. Ein Navi braucht man auch nicht, da die Radwege gut beschildert sind. Radfahren ist die DNA von Oulu.Das Stadtzentrum mit dem Marktplatz und dem Marktpolizisten „Tori Polliisi“ ist kompakt, dafür ist die Natur nie weit. Fast im Zentrum liegt der Strand Tuira am Oulu-Fluss. Hier kann man schwimmen, chillen und Volleyball spielen. Außerdem schwimmt im Fluss eine kleine Sauna: Kesä-Sauna (wörtlich: Sommersauna), ein beliebtes Freizeitvergnügen bei jedem Wetter.Oulu 2026: Europäische Kulturhauptstadt mit Sauna und Sámi https://www1.wdr.de/radio/wdr5/sendungen/neugier-genuegt/feature-oulu-kulturhauptstadt-2026-100.html

Today's discussion will center around tips and tricks to optimize outcomes and some common pitfalls that may hold patients back from a full recovery.We have some great articles for you that contribute well to our conversation on the surgical treatment of knee cartilage disease. As always, links to all of the papers that we discuss on this show can be found on our podcast website.The first article is a level 3 case-control study published in the October 2020 issue of OJSM, titled Anterior Knee Pain After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction. Gustavo Constantino de Campos and his team in Sao Paulo, Brazil retrospectively reviewed the records of 438 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction. Anterior knee pain was reported in 6.2% of cases. Patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with a patellar tendon autograft were 3.4 times more likely to experience anterior knee pain. Also, patients who experienced an extension deficit in the post-op period were also more likely to experience anterior knee pain, with an odds-ratio of 5.3. The authors fund that anterior knee pain was not correlated with patient sex, age or surgical technique.We are joined today by Dr. Candace Townley Cox. Candace is a Colorado native who received her Bachelor's degree in Athletic Training at Nebraska Wesleyan University. Following undergrad Candace returned to Colorado as a Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer at Regis University in Denver. There, she earned her Master's degree in Sports Performance while working specifically with the Women's Volleyball and Softball teams. Candace continued her education at Regis University earning her Doctorate of Physical Therapy. Since graduating Candace has spent countless hours in Sport Science Labs assessing movement quality, efficiency, as well as bone and muscle performance. As a movement expert, she is able to address the body's impairments both from a table assessment and from functional movement assessments.

    In this episode of Hurdle, host Emily sits down with elite volleyball champion, Carli Lloyd. Carli shares her journey of grit and professional longevity, from a decorated 13-season international career to leading LOVB Austin to back-to-back League One Volleyball (LOVB) championships. She opens up about the "hurdle" of being cut from the national team multiple times before ultimately reaching the Olympic podium and discusses how she maintains an elite mindset through personal tragedy and the transition into motherhood. IN THIS EPISODE The Power of One Ball at a Time: Carli explains how her team overcame a rocky regular season by staying committed to the micro-process, eventually securing the 2026 LOVB title. Embracing the Hardship: Why she views failures and professional setbacks as mandatory opportunities for human evolution. The "Hurdle" of the National Team: Carli details the grueling four-year cycle of being cut and released from her dream, only to re-commit and finally earn her spot on the 2016 Olympic roster. Healing the Mind: An inside look at her multi-year investment in therapy, life coaching, and energy work to overcome the "not good enough" narrative. Legacy on Home Soil: The significance of playing professionally in the U.S. after over a decade abroad, and what it means for the next generation of young athletes to see the sport within reach. The Morning Routine: How meditation and journaling serve as non-negotiable "reps" for her mental health. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "I’m here and still playing because I’ve been committed to the hard things. I’ve been committed to getting through them and welcoming them so I can learn and grow." "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." "Hardship is where we learn the greatest lessons. When it presents itself, it’s here for a reason." "The way you’re talking to yourself—the story you’re telling yourself—is the most important thing you’re going to hear. It will change your life if you nurture it."
