WELCOME TO TORRECHADWICK ON THE BLOG!

I think this maybe my third or forth go at this blog. Past variations of this space have not felt authentically me. I seem to write and then stop writing as I haven’t felt comfortable in the writing of it. Simmering on this has given me the opportunity to develop something I feel is a quick, fun and inspiring read.

Full of my favorite things, I am ready to bring life to this part of my brand.

SNACKS AND SIPS OF THE WEEK

As an athlete fueling my body is key to my performance and recovery, and truly to my everyday living. Each week, I will bring you a little slice of some of my go-to fuels. I will also step outside of my comfort zone to try new snacks and sips. Giving you my thoughts on them as I taste test.

My go to quick bite the last few weeks has been the BUILT PUFF PROTEIN BARS. It is like eating a chocolate marshmallow bar. It totally curbs my sweet tooth. It also gives me a great serving of protein! WIN, WIN!

I always start my day with a small mug of coffee, oat creamer and a scoop of 1stPhorm Collagen powder. Loving the SALTED CARAMEL flavor-it blends so well with the CARAMEL MACCHIATO oat creamer I use.

ADULT BEVIES

Yes, I am an athlete…but let’s be realistic. I am over 21 and I like to partake in adult bevies from time to time. I have never been one to over serve myself: 1. I don’t like being out of control/not remembering the evening before 2. I don’t like throwing up and hangovers suck.

I have always kept a bottle of bubbles in our fridge. You never know when something will need to be celebrated. Bubbles have been what I have been leaning towards recently…champs in one of our WATERFORD flutes. It is an experience, why not elevate cocktail hour, right? In my office mini fridge are the small bottles of bubbles-I love that choice, as it is just enough.

MORE THAN MY SPORT

This. Your sport is what you do. It can totally be a big part of who you are. However, it is certainly not all that you are. We, as female athletes have so many sides to ourselves and bringing this into the conversation is crazy important.

I love everything about sports-playing, watching, talking about it…I bet you didn’t know that I also LOVE live theater as much as I LOVE sports. There was a time in my life I would shuffle in between court time and stage time. I have a large passion for the performing arts…it truly is a deep part of who I am. A part of me I really wasn’t showing on social until recently. The cool thing is, we as athletes (as humans, really) never have to be defined by one thing.

We get to be all the things!!!

We are all like onions, we have layers!

THIS WEEK IN WOMEN IN SPORTS HISTORY

I was blessed with the opportunity to see women’s tennis legend Billie Jean King speak years ago. There were so many things she said that I took with me-one in particular focused on history. She emphasized how important it is to know your history. Know all about your sport, how it started and its journey. Knowing the back story gives you a strong base to move forward within it.

• Pat Summitt’s Record-Breaking Victory:On March 24, 2012, Pat Summitt, the legendary coach of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team, achieved a historic milestone by reaching her 1,098th career victory in the NCAA Sweet 16 against Kansas, becoming the winningest coach in NCAA basketball history. 

ALL THE GEAR

I am a girl who loves her gear! Head to toe. Clothing, accessories etc. If I am out there working hard at my sport, I am going to look the part. I will celebrate my accomplishments and support the teams I love all with gear. You will notice it before I even talk about it. Sharing my favs, your favs and fresh new items…I am about it all!

Brooks Women’s Adrenaline GTS 24 “Hyper Glow” (636 – Pink/Nectarine/Orange)

I have been a Brooks Adrenaline girl for years…need a good stability shoe and this model I have clicked with. Each new pair I am never picky on color-it is the fit that is most important. This time though, this time I got the fun color and they GLOW IN THE DARK!! Run now to FLEET FEET COLUMBUS and grab a pair!

40Lime Tennis Skirts

I found 40Lime scrolling on social when an ad caught my eye. I am a sucker for a bright preppy print. I bought the skirt that caught my eye in the ad. I loved it so much that I bought a ton more! They are comfortable and super cute styles, that are at a great price point. I wear them for both tennis and running. A skirt needs to check a lot of boxes for me. This company is female created/owned and resides in Savannah, GA!

Goodr Sunglasses

My absolute favorite performance sunglasses!!! They do all the things I need them to do when I am running or playing tennis. A big plus, they are BRIGHT, BOLD and FUN!! Oh and they are super affordable, starting at $25 you can own all the styles and colors!

COACHES CORNER

A spot where I can send us all out into the world feeling BIG, BOLD and BRIGHT. A last little nugget to take into the day.

NOW is your time. Stop waiting for things to FEEL RIGHT, BE RIGHT or PERFECT. Stop the WHEN I or WHEN THIS HAPPENS THEN I WILL conversations. Guess what? There is never the PERFECT moment. You might not ever FEEL just right. Things may not fall into place the way you envisioned. NOW. START right now with what you have. That is enough. You are enough, right now. GO and DO.
