Hilarious: The Northern Iowa football team had its players go out on campus to face random students in drills.

The Panthers have the best social media team in college football.

Nick Saban once said...

“If you want to make everyone happy, don’t be a leader; sell ice cream.”

Leadership is hard. It is earned. It is an inside-out process.

What are the Traits of the Best Team Leaders?

Here are 9 of them.

1: Commitment Level
Everything in team success begins with Commitment. Your leaders HAVE to be committed. They are bought in. They have put in the time. They are invested, and because of that, TEAM success means something to them.

2: Work Ethic
The best leaders are your hardest workers. They lead by example with how hard they work. They bring out this work ethic in others.

3: Trusted and Respected
Great team leaders have the trust and respect of their teammates. They have EARNED this trust. They make good choices. They treat their teammates well. They are inclusive.

4: We > Me
The best team leaders are about TEAM success. They have a broad-based perspective. They want what is best for the Team. They are willing to do what it takes to help the Team win. It is not about them.

5: Competitive Spirit
Great leaders are highly competitive. They want to Win. They know HOW to win. This spirit is contagious with others on the team. This spirit creates a culture of winning and success.

6: Bought into the Culture
The best leaders are bought into the team culture. They are the "Gatekeepers" of the team culture. The "True" Culture of the team is the standard that team leaders allow. This is incredibly important in successful teams.

7: Relationship Builders
The best team leaders connect and build relationships with ALL of their teammates. They understand the power of positive interaction and energy and the impact this has on a team.

8: Willing to Hold Others Accountable
The best team leaders are willing to confront and challenge teammates when needed. They become "junior firefighters" and put out the small fires behind the scenes that can happen in a team. They hold others Accountable.

9: They Inspire
The best leaders have the ability to inspire their teammates and those around them. It is hard to do. This is the pinnacle of leadership.

They should mix up the propaganda more. This is way too obvious.

Just like when they were parroting before the debate that Biden was “sharp as a tack” 🤣

The Invasion of Traverse City 🧵
A Michigan Icon Succumbs

Traverse City is changing. If it wasn’t Traverse City (emphasis on city) before, it’s Traverse City now. Blown up and grown up. More than 10,000 new residents in the tiny metro area over the past decade. 1/10

I like pets with human names. When somebody says something like “This is my dog, Jim” I’m instantly a fan of both the owner and the dog.

“We spend a lot of time really focusing on the parents…”

@UConnMBB Head Coach Dan Hurley, in advance of the National Championship game, on what sets them apart part in terms of recruiting. In his words, they aren’t afraid to say NO to ‘neon talent’ if the player and parents haven’t demonstrated the ability to put the team first.

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

Economic data looks rosy, so why are people complaining? Maybe it’s because the data is being manipulated.

Consider this:
- BLS Household Survey shows 5 million fewer employed workers than its payrolls survey
- Phila Fed just admitted payrolls overstated by 800k
- The much-trumpeted job growth in the last year was ENTIRELY part-time jobs

Messing with the data for political advantage will stop under my administration. #KennedyShanahan24
