Congratulations to four of our students who were selected to attend Cornhusker Boys & Girls State last week! We are proud of these students for representing our school!

Everybody wants the championship.

Not everybody wants the “SHIPS” required to build one.

1. Ownership
2. Leadership
3. Friendship
4. Hardship
5. Sportsmanship
6. Scholarship

Championships are built long before the trophy.

Which one matters most to winning culture?

[Dot Richardson @CoachDot_LU]

How you practice is who you become.
Championship moments don’t start on game day—they’re built in the quiet, unseen moments of daily discipline. The extra reps. The attitude during hard days. The decision to keep showing up even when nobody’s watching.
The same is true in our faith. Spiritual growth doesn’t happen overnight. It’s built one prayer, one choice, one faithful step at a time.
Your habits are shaping your future long before the scoreboard ever reflects it.

“Whatever you do in life, have the courage and commitment to do it to your absolute best.” - Pat Summitt

Not halfway effort.
Not excuses.
Not “good enough.”

The courage to show up.
The commitment to stay with it.

That’s where excellence lives.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Every team has talent.
But the teams that last have HERO’S.

People who:

- Help others succeed
- Embrace challenges
- Respond with resilience
- Outwork the competition

Who’s the biggest HERO on your team right now?

[Jeff Janssen @janssenleader]

Leaders Do the Little Things:
🧳 carry the bags
💧 grab the water bottles
🧽 tidy up the locker room
🚌 make sure the bus is clean
🧹 sweep the floor
🍽️ eat last
🗑️ bus the tables
🙏 say please and thank you
⭐️ represent the team with class

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Kids raised in coaching households learn things you can’t teach in a classroom.

Resilience.
Teamwork.
Sacrifice.
Character.
Problem-solving.

They don’t just watch you coach games.
They watch you lead people.

And that lesson lasts forever.

[Dot Richardson @CoachDot_LU]

There’s a difference between talent… and calling.
Talent is something you’re given.
Calling is something you’re led into.
The hard truth: not everyone is called to the same role, the same level, or the same path… and that’s okay.
Some are called to lead.
Some to encourage.
Some to grind behind the scenes where no one’s watching.
Every role matters.
God didn’t make a mistake when He gave you your gifts or your path.
So don’t compare. Don’t chase someone else’s lane.
Play where you’re planted.
Grow where you’re called.
That’s where purpose lives.

That jersey was worn before you.
It’ll be worn after you.

Your only job?

Make the next person proud to put it on.

I come back to this speech every time I forget what winning actually means...

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

Every player I ever coached was asking me the same 3 questions.

They never said them out loud.

It didn't matter what the lineup looked like.

It didn't matter what the scoreboard said.

They just needed to know 3 things.

And every leader, every coach, every parent is being asked the same ones.

Here they are.

Question #1: Can I trust you?

Trust isn't given. It's earned.

You earn it through transparency and honesty not when things are going well, but when things are hard.

How I built it:

• Do what you say you're going to do
• Tell them what they need to hear, not what they want to hear
• Show up the same way whether you're winning or losing

You lose trust fast. You build it slow.

Question #2: Can you make me better?

This one is on you as a leader.

They're not just asking about their swing or their stats.

They're asking: do you see me clearly enough to help me grow?

Question #3: Do you care about me?

This is the most important one. And you can't fake it.

You can't lead anybody if they don't believe you care about them beyond what they produce on the field.

Three questions. No stat tracks them. But they determine everything.

[Alan Stein, Jr. @AlanSteinJr]

Two coaches.
Two completely different styles.
One championship stage.

Dan Hurley and Dusty May couldn’t appear more different.

Hurley is loud, fiery, and unapologetically intense. He coaches with passion on full display—every possession, every call, every moment.

May is calm, measured, and composed. He leads with poise—steady, deliberate, and rarely rattled.

One is expressive and animated.
The other is reserved and calculated.

And yet… both are elite.

Both are brilliant tacticians.
Both are masterful recruiters.
Both have built championship cultures.
And most importantly—both LOVE their players… and their players love them right back.

That’s the lesson.

There is no ONE way to lead.

Not in basketball.
Not in business.
Not in life.

Leadership isn’t about copying someone else’s style. It’s about owning your style.

Your personality.
Your strengths.
Your voice.

Because authenticity builds trust.
And trust builds teams that win.

Don’t try to lead like Hurley.
Don’t try to lead like May.

Lead like you.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Heads held high. ❤️

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

I was fired today. Well, laid off. "Budget cuts," my boss said. I packed my box. I was terrified. I have a mortgage. As I walked to the elevator, the CEO—the big boss who never talks to anyone—stepped in with me. "You're Sarah, right?" he asked. "Yes sir." "You stayed late last month to help the interns fix that presentation. You didn't ask for overtime." I nodded, surprised he knew. "I can't stop the layoffs," he said. "Board's decision. But I made a phone call." The elevator dinged. He handed me a card. "My friend runs a firm across town. He's expecting your call at 9 AM tomorrow. He needs a manager who cares about people. The pay is 20% higher." I stared at him. "Why?" "Because you held the door for the cleaning lady every single morning," he said. "I notice things." Character is what you do when you think no one is watching.
