Coach Klieman knows how important each component of an organization is!! That’s a leader who has a full scope of understanding.

Have you ever seen what happens when team members (who work largely behind the scenes) are unexpectedly recognized? Ask the Kansas State University Marching Band. ?? ?? ?? As a former collegiate marching band member at Brigham Young University, I know firsthand that it's a ton of time and effort. Game days can extend to 8+ hours for band members when including pregame and postgame commitments. Long trips on the bus for away games can be straining - not to mention all the weekly practices and drills in the heat and cold. Even if you are fortunate enough to receive a partial scholarship as a band member, the pay per hour isn't good. Don't get me wrong - it's a lot of fun. Still, over time it's normal to start questioning if all your effort is making a difference or is even noticed by the football team and fans. In his post-game victory speech after his team's improbable comeback from a 34-17 deficit late in their recent bowl game, K-State head football coach Chris Klieman made sure to leave no doubt that their university's marching band members were noticed and appreciated. When seen and valued, the odds that team members will feel a strong sense of belonging increases by 559% (O.C. Tanner Institute 2024 Global Culture Report). Watch the band's reaction to Coach Klieman's comments and tell me they didn't feel a stronger sense of belonging! Who needs to hear your appreciation to feel connected and part of the team? #recognition #leadership #workplaceculture #appreciation

No business today...well, the business of Jersey football! DID YOU KNOW? On this day in1869: The first intercollegiate football game was played between Rutgers and Princeton, with Rutgers winning 6-4. Add'l knowledge: that score of 6-4 means that Rutgers scored 6 "TDs" as we know them, to Princeton's 4. No PATs. TDs were called "goals", and each was worth 1pt, way back in the 1800s. NJ: the birthplace of college football, NBD. And taylor ham. Or is it pork roll? AccessWave loves CFB...and taylor ham and pork roll.

This sports #stadium #development is a prime example of successful collaboration between the city, the county,?a professional sports organization, and a private developer. The project plans include 6,000 residential units (1,200 designated as affordable/workforce housing and 4,800 as market-rate #multifamily housing) along with 750,000 square feet of #retail space, a game day plaza, a cultural arts promenade, and dedicated green space with trail connectivity. #SanAntonio should take note, especially considering we've built two stadiums that have failed to activate the surrounding areas. Both are surrounded by asphalt parking lots that remain locked and unused for six days out of the week... let's start thinking bigger... #Alamodome #FrostBankCenter #RealEstate
