@JennaAllen2027 @MMULancersSB @mountmarty @NEGoldVance @NebraskaGold @MidwestPremierS @DrK_Softball @NAIA It was great having you and your family on campus! Good luck this summer and you’re welcome back anytime.

Thank you @Mr_Clean03 and @MMULancersSB for the visit at @mountmarty today! I enjoyed getting to practice with your team! @NEGoldVance @NebraskaGold @MidwestPremierS @DrK_Softball @NAIA

Holy hell did our fans show out last night! What an amazing moment for @MMULancersMBB . The culture at The Mount is so special and I love watching Lancers support other Lancers! Never ever seen Cimpl rocking like that.

Raise hell, Praise Dale! #Legend

These guys bring the energy every night! Now we need ALL of our students to join them in the playoffs to get Cimpl rocking! #GoLancers

Men's final @MMULancersMBB 78 DWU 76 Lancers earn a huge rivalry sweep at home.

Down the street... A signature win for @MMULancersWBB over rival Dakota Wesleyan. With many of the 2016 national semifinal team in attendance, MMU beats #9 DWU for the first time since that 2015-16 season

We at NAIA Ball send out our thoughts and prayers to the Iowa Lakes Community College baseball program and all who are affected by the tragedy today in Iowa 🙏🙏🙏

That Opening Day Feeling! #GoLancers

The NAIA has a real opportunity this April to sets itself apart from the others!

This is cool!

Go Tulane and JMU!

Montana>SDSU. We already knew this but Chase’s arm is legit elite.

Happy Cat-Griz day! Also, happy SEC bye week day! #BrawlofTheWild

Man this is sad! We lost a great one today!

We are heartbroken by the passing of Mia Hamant after her courageous battle with cancer. Mia inspired everyone around her with her strength and spirit. Our love is with her family, teammates, and all who knew her. Her legacy will forever live in Husky Athletics. 💜🐾

This is a huge deal! The Momentum is real and it’s because of the people here in the MMU Community #GoLancers

Man I don’t care how this ALCS goes because this season has been a win to me! Has reminded me why I fell in love with the @Mariners and baseball during that 00/01 season when I was watching in the hospital at @seattlechildren! #Hope #NeverGiveUp

@paige_stensaas_ @south_04 It was great to have you and the Renegades down today! Good luck next weekend in Sioux Falls! #GoLancers #GoRenegades

A big thanks to @Mr_Clean03 and @MMULancersSB for having us today for a couple games! @CoachDowns42 @torknob @CoachSingleton_ @eadustj4 @BrockCuller @coachozzydwu @south_04 @SFLHS_Softball @TrentDlugosh

Transactional vs. Transformational Coaching Dan Hurley shared a story about asking Geno Auriemma for advice after a rough start last season. Geno didn’t mince words: “Listen, if the only gratification and the only part of coaching that excites you is winning the national championship, then you’ve lost your way, buddy! Where’s the joy in the things that you’ve always been about as a coach before you went on the championship run, like relationships with your players, like helping people get better, like making your team the best it can be. Be a coach, man. This is when you really need to be a leader. This team isn’t as good as last year’s, so what the hell are you going to do about it? Are you going home? Are you going to let this thing unravel?” That’s the tension every coach feels: Transactional vs. Transformational. Transactional coaching is outcome-obsessed. It’s about the wins, the losses, the trophies. The problem? When results don’t come, your purpose crumbles with them. Transformational coaching is different. It’s about people. It’s about growth. It’s about building something that lasts whether the scoreboard agrees with you or not. And this is why mentorship matters so much in coaching. Left on our own, it’s easy to drift into a transactional mode without even realizing it. A trusted mentor can pull us back to center, and remind us why we started coaching in the first place. To build relationships. To develop players as people. To make teams the best they can be. Wins matter. But they’re not the why. The why is impact. The why is growth. The why is leaving your players better than you found them. The process is the prize. Stay grounded. Stay on the path. Always remember your why.

Woke up this morning like: #SpookySeason
