Work hard and be nice to people.

Only the Midwest will go from 60° and sunny to 2 feet of snow in the same week

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

You can only grow if you’re willing to feel awkward/uncomfortable when you try something new. Let 2026 be the year that you become unafraid to fail. Know that you will fail. Just keep attacking the uncomfortable. You'll continually get better. Eventually, you'll get A LOT better!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Sports will help build your character, but they’ll also expose it. Everyone sees how you handle success, failure, pressure & adversity. The points, medals, highlights & accolades disappear. But the kind of teammate you were? That’s what people remember. That’s who you really are.

I believe in science. I also believe 60° in October is colder than 60° in April.

POV: it’s the first day of fall

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Talent is overrated.

Give me the player who:

✅ Plays to win
✅ Can be trusted
✅ Shows up on time
✅ Listens and learns
✅ Works their tail off
✅ Embraces their role
✅ Makes the right reads
✅ Brings energy every day

Talent without this is a headache.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

The dream you are looking for is in the WORK you’re choosing to avoid. You won’t make it without putting in the work. Everything you want in life is on the other side of something that sucks. DO THE WORK because “someday” will eventually become NEVER. Don’t look back with regret!

[The Dance Avenue @thedanceavenue]

The TDA Team competed this weekend at Dance Out in Des Moines! The team achieved many amazing placements and overall awards including the team production “Six” winning 1st overall in the elite division! Most importantly the team showed support and love for one another!

No matter when
It’s who you are: it’s what you’re giving.
Always.

TNT = Takes No Talent 🧨

- Effort
- Energy
- Hustle plays
- Being a great teammate
- Doing the little things right

Talent might get you noticed, but TNT gets you on the floor, keeps you in the lineup, and earns you respect.

Are you dominating the things that Take No Talent?

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"What you achieve is directly related to what you put in.
If your work ethic and goals don't line up, something has to change.
Most people sell themselves short and lower their bar.
Don't be most people.
Change what most won't: your work." @CoachYourKids

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

Don’t make it easier for your opponent.
