On this day in Minnesota I think it’s important to remember that all businesses, especially the small ones, are trying to make decisions in the best interest for their entire company. These are net benefit decisions which are difficult and unique. There is no need to shame, harass or bully those that don’t agree with your position. Mutual respect is needed in these times.

How do you Kill a Team Culture?
Drip by Drip…
- Skip reps
- Show up late
- Blame others
- Take-off plays
- Negative energy
- No accountability
- Sloppy in practice
- No team cohesion
- No communication
- Bad body language
- Complain about calls
Don't be a culture killer.
Thanks for @MankatoLacrosse and @UNW_Lacrosse for stopping by yesterday for some scrimmages. Fun was had by all. Was fun to see GLLL, NCAA D3 and @MCLA all work together.
See everyone Friday for @Drury_MLAX at 7pm at Gagliardi Field.
In 1992, Kurt Warner was a backup quarterback at the University of Northern Iowa.
He was more talented than the starter, but he never got on the field.
Warner asked his friend to ask the coaches why he wasn’t playing. The response changed the way Warner approached the game and his life.
The coaches said, "The reason you're not starting is that you're not very good in practice."
The response shocked Warner. He knew he could throw better than the other QBs. He outshined them when the lights came on whether it was spring ball or the game.
But then he started to think about it. He realized that almost 99% of the time the coaches and teammates saw him was in practice.
This moment shifted his mindset and perspective.
Warner said, "That was one of the greatest lessons that I ever learned about life and about football. You have to bring it every day. You got to show me what to expect from you every single day."
He realized that every moment is a moment to lead by example.
How you do one thing is how you do everything.
In life, he realized that people watch what you do all of the time, not just when the lights are on or not just for one moment.
That moment changed everything for him. He started to take practice seriously and results started to appear.
In 1993, Kurt Warner was the starting quarterback for the University of Northern Iowa. He led the team to an 8-4 season with over 2,500 yards and 17 TDs.
He was invited to training camp with the Green Bay Packers and that was just the beginning for him.
Takeaway 1: Be the Example and Lead by Example
In every aspect of life, not just sports, people often observe and judge us based on our consistent behavior and actions.
To inspire and motivate others, it's essential to consistently demonstrate the qualities and behaviors we wish to see in ourselves and those around us.
Takeaway 2: Value Feedback and Embrace Growth
Growth is a habit and a choice. Feedback might not always be easy to hear or accept, but it's your choice whether to grow from it or deny it.
You have to honest with yourself on where there are opportunities to grow. Whether in sports, career, or personal development, being open to constructive criticism and actively seeking opportunities for growth can lead to greater success and achievement.
"If you're willing to put yourself and your dreams on the line, at the very least you'll discover an inner strength you may not have known existed."

St. Thomas and Saint John’s had one of the best NCAA DIII rivalries until 2020 when UST moved to NCAA DI. Fortunately, they both are still MCLA DII and get to play every year. This years’ Tommie-Johnnie game is tonight at 7 pm CST. Stream: https://t.co/l45uuqgacG
