What to Post When “Nothing Exciting” Is Happening
One of the most common things I hear is:
“I don’t know what to post because nothing exciting is happening right now.”
Here’s the truth:
Most strong brands are built in the boring moments.
You don’t need games, offers, or highlights every week to post consistently. You need clarity.
Here are practical things athletes can post when it feels like “nothing” is going on 👇🏽
1. Progress, Not Performance
You don’t need a big moment, just movement.
Examples:
• What you’re currently working on
• A skill you’re improving
• Something you struggled with this week
• What practice looked like today
Progress builds trust. Highlights build attention. You need both.
2. Routine Content
Routine = reliability.
Examples:
• Warm-up routine
• Pre-practice mindset
• Recovery or stretch routine
• What a normal training day looks like
This shows discipline and consistency — qualities coaches and brands value.
3. Learning Moments
Learning is content.
Examples:
• One thing you learned at practice
• A mistake you’re correcting
• Something your coach emphasized
• A mental shift you’re working on
You don’t need to be perfect. You need to be honest.
4. Behind-the-Scenes Moments
These are often more powerful than highlights.
Examples:
• Getting ready for practice
• Packing your bag
• Film study
• Quiet moments before training
This humanizes the athlete.
5. Answer a Question People Always Ask You
If one person asks, many are thinking it.
Examples:
• “How often do you train?”
• “How do you stay motivated?”
• “What position do you play and why?”
• “What does a normal week look like?”
Simple answers = strong content.
6. Talk Through Your Goals
You don’t need results to talk about direction.
Examples:
• What you’re working toward this season
• What you want to improve by next month
• Why this sport matters to you
• What keeps you going on hard days
Goals create connection.
7. The 3-Question Filter (Use This Every Time)
Before posting, ask:
• Who is this for?
• What’s the one takeaway?
• What do I want them to do next?
If you can answer those, you have content.
Final reminder:
Consistency doesn’t come from excitement.
It comes from showing up anyway.
The athletes who win long-term are the ones who learn how to communicate even when things feel quiet.
