Proud to watch you compete in conference play, Rosie! 💜🏐

Look at you! It feels like yesterday I was watching that 8-year-old little girl learn the game, listen to every word, and develop a love for volleyball that was already beginning to shine.

And now— Archer, #17, TCU setter—look at the young woman and dynamic setter you have become! What makes me most proud is that through all the years, challenges, teams, practices, wins, and losses, you have never lost that love and passion for the game.

The little girl in these photos could never have known exactly where her volleyball journey would take her. But she kept learning. She kept working. She kept believing. And most importantly, she kept loving the game.

Now, as you continue through conference play, keep competing, keep leading, keep having FUN, and never forget where your journey began.

From 8 years old to #17 at TCU… what a journey I have been blessed to watch. And Rosie, you still have so many chapters left to write! 💜🐸🏐

I’m Ruth Nelson, Founder of BYOP®, GoKids Youth Sports™, and RNN Sports Gym™, and I’m excited to welcome you to another action-packed evening powered by our IN THE KNOW Series™! Tonight, three very different volleyball journeys take us from young KIDZ just discovering the game, to sisters sharing the experience together, to a collegiate athlete whose journey began in BYOP® and has taken her all the way to the University of Oklahoma.

🏐 8:00 PM CST | ® on the Go! #69 — Meet 9-year-old Raylan and her mom, Kayla, as they share their beginning volleyball journey through Little Waves and Raylan’s FUN experience as a demonstrator at the 2026 GoKids Youth Sports™ Skills Trainer Certification Course with new Skills Trainers from Texas and Montana. It’s a special look at the journey through the eyes of both a young athlete and her mom—and how FUN, confidence, encouragement, and family support can build a foundation for the future.

💕 8:30 PM CST | GoKids Youth Sports™ ChatBOX™ #39 — It’s SISTER TIME with Poppy, Kinsley, and their mom! Hear what it’s like for two sisters to learn, train, encourage, and challenge each other while sharing their volleyball journey, including their experience as demonstrators at the 2026 GoKids Youth Sports™ Skills Trainer Certification Course with new Skills Trainers from Texas and Montana. Two sisters, two personalities, one mom—and plenty of FUN as they share what volleyball means to their family!

🧡 9:30 PM CST | RNN Sports Gym™ BUZZ #36 — From BYOP® with Dad to the University of Oklahoma, McKenna Brand takes us through an incredible journey that includes Dallas Skyline Juniors, Lovejoy High School, two seasons as the starting libero at Connecticut, the transfer portal, and now becoming an Oklahoma Sooner. We’ll also get her firsthand perspective on NIL and the rapidly changing world of collegiate athletics. One journey. Many chapters. And the next one is just beginning!

Join us September 2 for three conversations celebrating where the journey begins, how it develops, and where it can lead! 🏐⭐ 8:00 | 8:30 | 9:30 PM CST |

Every first Wednesday of the month, join 5X Hall of Fame Honoree Ruth N Nelson for the IN THE KNOW SERIES™—where one conversation can inspire a lifetime.

Not every story is about championships. Sometimes it's about a parent who chose to step onto the court, a young athlete who discovered confidence, or a coach who changed a kidz future. Ruth believes every guest has a story worth sharing because every story has the power to change someone's life.

Sixteen years ago, during the final weeks of her mentor Pat McChesney's life, Pat gave Ruth one final challenge: "Ruth, don't stop helping these young kidz. Even if you want to help thousands, promise me you'll help one kid at a time." That promise became her life's mission.

Today, after more than 50 years of teaching, coaching, mentoring, and inspiring, Ruth continues to pour that same energy, passion, enthusiasm, and love into developing kidz, empowering parents, educating teachers, and mentoring youth coaches. Every show is filled with authentic stories, meaningful lessons, laughter, and inspiration that remind us all why sports matter.

Take 30 minutes, join the conversation, and discover why one story... one family... one coach... and one kid can change the world—one conversation at a time.
