Dear Parents, A team-first attitude starts at home. Unfortunately, so does a me-first attitude. If you want to change the world, go home and eliminate entitlement. Teach how to love, serve, and care. Show how to be humble and respond to adversity. Sincerely, Society

As a coach, stop complaining about how uncoachable your players are. It is your responsibility to help your players improve their attitudes.

Three reasons why you should put the team first and be a good teammate: 1. You’ll experience deeper happiness through team success. 2. Your coaches will speak highly of you, which helps advance your career. 3. It’ll improve your character and help you in areas outside of sports.

Greatness is a sacrifice. It’s sacrificing personal glory for the good of the team. It’s sacrificing the things that get in the way of winning. It’s sacrificing your comfort. Being great requires a series of sacrifices, but when you love something, you sacrifice for it.

All EMLCA Coaches: @MIAA has announced that the Boys Lax cut off date is Thur 5/26, not Thur 6/1. Apparently, with little communication, the MIAA moved the date to 5-26. If you scheduled any games between 5-27 and 6-1 you need to find a new date. Please help spread the word.
