Team Culture is Fragile.

It takes daily attention.

Here are 10 things that can HURT a Team Culture

Drip by Drip.

1: Showing up Late

Being late tells your team that ME > WE. This is a dangerous place to go. Respect your teammates time. Respect your coaches time. Be on time.

2: Skipping Reps

Every rep creates a habit. Skipping reps is how you get worse as a player. This is how you get worse as a team. This is a culture killer.

3: Not Holding others Accountable

All teams need leaders. If leaders don’t hold others accountable. The team culture loses. The team loses.

4: Bad Body Language

Body Language screams. Want to destroy a culture. Bring negative energy with bad body language.

5: Taking Plays Off

Can I Trust you as my teammate? Not if you take plays off. If you play when you want to play. You will kill your culture.

6: Complaining about your Role

Not happy at about your role? Want to hurt the team? Complain about your role. This will eat away at your culture and hurt your team.

7: Bad Mouthing your Teammates

Easy way to hurt your team and kill your culture. Talk bad about your teammates. It will eat at your culture every time.

8: Sloppy Practices

Sloppy practices = sloppy games. They create bad habits. They eat away at culture. Mediocrity follows.

9: Not focused on Details

Details win games. Not focusing on details loses games. Skip details and impact your culture.

10: No Eye Contact

Tells the coach you don’t care. Tells your teammates you don’t care. Tells the team it is all about you. Note: there are some cultures where this is accepted. Know your players.

Our Wellness Committee now offers fitness classes to support staff health. Cardio drumming is led by MS Teacher Katie Lillmars. "The class is high energy, filled with laughter, and a great way to get to know people who work in different buildings," she said. #EachWillThrive

What does it mean to be a fan?

My 9-year-old son worked on this letter for 4 days. It truly represents what you mean to him - and what you should mean to Spartans everywhere.

My day was made when my grandma sent me these pics.

My grandpa is a tour bus driver and has a group that he drives for quite a bit. They gave him a shirt and threw him a party. If any bus driver deserves this grandpa, it’s you!

They know you too well, happy birthday gpa! 💙

I’m tired of people telling me that it’s “cute” that I’m a special ed major. My career is noble, difficult and essential. Education for everyone is so important and I believe that teaching special education for my career is a lot more than just “cute.”
