@CoachShuUAB Happy Anniversary to my favorite couple! Love you both!! ❤️

[Terri Green @TerriGreenUSA]

From 2024. Number 1 ranked golfer Scottie Scheffler at the Masters

“I’m a faithful guy. I believe in a Creator. I believe in Jesus. Ultimately, I think that's what defines me the most," he told reporters. "I feel like I've been given a platform to compete and, you know, show my talent. It's not anything that I did. I think I sat up here a couple years ago doing the interview after the 2022 Masters, and it's like, yeah, I was underprepared for what was about to happen. I didn't know what was going to happen. I didn't — I was very anxious that morning. I didn't know what to expect.”

"And it's hard to describe the feeling, but I think that's what defines me the most is my faith. I believe in one Creator, that I've been called to come out here, do my best, compete and glorify God, and that's pretty much it."

PLAYERS: When you become a "𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙨" type player then you truly become a valuable teammate and your team's culture is strengthened. Great teams have great teammates!

When MJ did not make his Varsity basketball team, his Mother did NOT:
1) complain to the school
2) call the coach
3) demand a meeting with the AD

Deloria Jordan simply told MJ “work harder.”

18-year-old Chick-fil-A worker who found roughly $10,000 in the bathroom and returned it to its owner says he didn’t keep it because “That’s not what Jesus would’ve done. That’s not what God would’ve wanted.”

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Rick Pitino said it best.

Love without discipline spoils.
Discipline without love hardens.

You need both.

The goal of youth sports is not to create college athletes. It's to create great human beings. Don't lose sight of the real prize.

Michigan and UConn basketball players open up about their faith on Easter weekend ahead of the NCAA championship on Monday.

“Jesus wiped my eyes clean. My whole mind is different.”

“The way I talk, or act changed. The way I treat other people. It’s more not to get, but more to serve.”

Happy Easter!

NEW: Jaden Ivey says it is sinful for a man to lie with another man, says no one can stop him from speaking the truth.

Ivey accused the Bulls of lying when they claimed his conduct was "detrimental" to the team.

"I'm not against the man or the woman, I'm against what is contrary to the word of God."

"I can proclaim the truth, what the word of God says. I can do that with freedom. I have a mouth to speak. No one can stop me."

"The devil wants me to stop speaking the truth."

[J @JayTC53]

🚨🔥 Jaden Ivey is the perfect role model that the NBA NEEDS. Listen to this!

Jaden explains how he found Jesus which changed his life for the better and overcame his addictions and anger. Incredible!

The NBA cut him today for his faith.

We stand with Jaden Ivey!

Said it before, and I'll say it again. If you’re looking for a coach.
Find a man of faith
Loves his players
Demands alot
Teaches the game the right way
Loyal
Wins
Find those qualities in a coach, and you'll find someone half as good as Rick Barnes.

[Franklin Graham @Franklin_Graham]

I appreciate @Vol_Hoops head coach @RickBarnesUT’s testimony to his players, the media, and the watching world. He’s right—we need to keep the main thing the main thing and love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

“I wish at [my player’s] age, I would’ve gone much deeper into a relationship with Jesus Christ… To me, the most important thing is to God with all my heart, soul, & mind.”
