I direct a local daycare center. Our policy is strict: pick-up is at 6:00 PM, and it's a $2 late fee for every minute past that. At 6:45 PM, a young mother burst through the doors, completely out of breath and wearing hospital scrubs. Her late fee was $90. "I am so sorry," she cried, hugging her toddler tightly. "The hospital was severely understaffed, and they mandated I stay for the shift change. I know I have to pay the fee. Just please don't kick us out of the program. She looked like she hadn't slept in a week. I logged into the billing system, highlighted the $90 fee, and hit delete. I went to our kitchen, packed up three leftover servings of the kids' baked ziti dinner, and handed her the warm bag. "System shows you picked him up at 5:59," I told her with a wink. "Take this home so you don't have to cook tonight." Rules are meant to maintain order, but empathy is meant to maintain humanity.
With a warmup coming this weekend, get ready to get out and enjoy some warmer weather after the long cold winter. We will be open Friday March 6th through Tuesday March 10th starting at 10:00 each day. Carts will be a day-to-day decision. Please call the pro shop for tee times.

When you as a player start to care more about your team than your performance, all of the pressure will come off of you. You start to become selfless & become something bigger than yourself.
Your performance will elevate & your team’s performance will elevate.
Everyone Wins!
Great coaches understand that it’s always about the players, not about you. How can it be about you when you’re asking your players to do 99% of the work to be successful? Your job is to provide the backbone for the team & if you put them first, they’ll want to provide the heart!
🔥🏀 ELITE 8! The Red Devils defeat Edgerton 38-33 and move on to the REGIONAL FINALS! 🔥🏀

Seniors: Only 2 months of HS basketball left. After the last game, when you realize what the last 4 years, your teammates & coaches have meant, you’ll begin to cherish it. Live in the moment; don’t take it for granted; enjoy the ride. These are some of the best days of your life!
NEGATIVE BODY LANGUAGE LETS
• Your opponents know they have the upper hand
• Your teammates know your selfish
• Recruiters know you can't handle adversity
• Random spectators form opinions about you
Nothing good comes from negative BL.
KEEP YOUR CALM

When older players are willing to help out younger players...
When starters are willing to help out their backups...
That is when you know you have a championship culture!

Bless the coaches who hold all kids accountable for grades, conduct & behavior. Never doubt that choosing discipline over a win is the right thing. It matters. That example says that regardless of how good a player is, he/she will be held to a very high standard. That’s powerful!
Coach Pat Summitt was as good of a coach (and leader) as we’ve ever seen in any sport. Her standards apply to every area of life and are equally impactful in business!
Countdown to Kickoff 🏈: @FootballFindlay & @RedDevilAthl
After a shocking first-round exit last season, @FHSAthletic & star QB @RyanMonty2025 returns with a new "D.A.W.G" mentality.
Meanwhile, Red Devils are led by new head coach Nick Inbody & they will attempt to continue their streak of 27 straight winning seasons.
