What a week‼️
✅ Officially introduce new Dragon Family Members
✅ Killer week of workouts for the guys
✅ Eat way too much Sushi with the staff
✅ Develop new relationships with Future Dragons
Exciting time to be in Moorhead

The things you do every single day, the things that don’t look dramatic, that don’t even look like they matter, DO MATTER. They not only make a difference—they make ALL the difference.

Happy Independence Day! This country is far from perfect but greatness is not about being perfect. Greatness is found in continuous failure and adjustment! Love the opportunity we have in front of us to be better personally and as a country!!

When we focus on what not to do, we often end up doing that. But if we can envision what we want to do, we have the motivation and the faith to see it through until it happens. -Tony Dungy

A very small percentage of HS athletes get the shot to play collegiately and even a smaller percentage finish out their eligibility. Want to put yourself into a very elite group? It won’t be easy but it will be worth it.
Don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t played college football but I’m beyond grateful I got the chance to experience this with the guys I did and still do everyday.
Use small easy daily tasks to weed out entitlement and ego. Also, have a good enough relationship with it’s your teammates to hold them accountable to small easy tasks so when you need to hold them accountable to something big it is just natural.

Great to hear from people that are experiencing football in other programs that were once Dragons and get their perspective on Dragon Football! A former position coach of mine

@CoachABohl
, both guys I still look up to!
The video goes into great detail over what makes MSUM football different. Players and coaches from the past and present speak about why MSUM football is different then other football programs out there.
One of my favorite wins as a Dragon! Wasn’t pretty but fought hard as a team. Part of a 4 game win streak to end the season and send a great group of seniors off! A true
