Game Plan

I have been brain storming new ideas and verses for devotions lately. Not only will I incorporate that they should play hard for the glory of God, but they are also playing for a mighty God who loves them. If anyone has any verses comment on this blog. I would love suggestions. I am also going to send out an invitation to the team for the basketball clinic being held at Oakbrook over the break. I'm sure it would be beneficial to the team, but I have to see what the head coach is going to say about it.

Preparing For The Game

^"23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters..." Colossians 3:23
I have stated before that I will do devotions with my players before practices. I will do this because I want to keep a positive, christian environment around the team so that they learn to have more fun and not think basketball is the most important thing on the earth. I will encourage them to realize who they are really playing for and who they are representing, Jesus. I want my team to give all the glory to God in practice, in games, in winning, and in losing. So the verse above will be what I use to help encourage them from a biblical stand point and I hope to show the best example possible, so they can learn from me.

Need More Practice

I did not get a chance to talk to the coach this week. I have been so busy this week. I have made some progress on my research paper though. I have also been trying to come up some new drills for my future players. I want to bring something new to the table for my team and bring a "new school" swagger to the team. My ultimate goal is to make sure they have fun and to show Christ through myself so that they can see what he has done in my own life.
