The fields received upgrades last year which included improved accessibility. What a special way to celebrate community and sports!

We just announced $10 million to support Minnesota’s special education workforce.
I know the impact a dedicated teacher can have on a student's life. Investing in our special education workforce is going to help ensure every student has what they need to thrive.
@journalsentinel It is indeed a burden for those living in Waukesha that rely on Metro Transit to obtain an ID to vote. There are no sidewalks in temperate weather and absolutely no walking space other than the actual road (posted speed 45 MPH) in winter to use for the 1+mile hike.
Ted Lasso isn’t just a coach; he’s a playbook on leadership.
His infectious positivity and authenticity are a winning formula for any coach.
He reminds us to stay curious, use humor to connect, and always be true to ourselves.
Here are 7 Leadership Lessons from Ted Lasso.
1: BRING POSITIVE ENERGY - Ted is incredibly positive and optimistic, even in adversity. He encourages his team to focus on their strengths and celebrate their successes, no matter how small. TL: "I do love a locker room. It smells like potential."
2: SHOW EMPATHY - Ted is empathetic and takes the time to get to know his players personally. It is all about RELATIONSHIPS with Ted. TL: "Your body is like day-old rice. If it ain't warmed up properly, something real bad could happen."
3: BE AUTHENTIC - Ted is authentic and genuine. He doesn't try to be anyone other than himself. He is honest with his players and colleagues, even when it is difficult. TL: "You know what the happiest animal on Earth is? It's a goldfish. Do you know why? It's got a 10-second memory."
4: USE HUMOR - Ted has a great sense of humor. He uses it to diffuse tension and bring his team together. He doesn't take himself too seriously and encourages his players to have fun and enjoy the game. TL: "It's kind of like back in the '80s when 'bad' meant 'good.'"
5: BE COLLABORATIVE - Ted believes in collaboration and teamwork. He encourages his players to work together. TL: "I promise you there is something worse out there than being sad, and that's being alone and being sad. Ain't no one in this room alone."
6: BE A CONNECTOR - Ted is a connector of people. He understands that a connected team is a winning team. TL: "If you care about someone, and you got a little love in your heart, there ain't nothing you can't get through together."
7: BE CURIOUS! - Ted does not know it all. He does not have all the answers. He does have ALL of the questions. But he is curious! TL: "I feel like we fell out of the lucky tree and hit every branch on the way down, ended up in a pool of cash and Sour Patch Kids."
