You can’t believe in the sovereignty of God and be anxious every time you face something unexpected or that you can’t control.

[Doug Gottlieb @GottliebShow]

Louder for the people in the back

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Players: You can be as skilled as they come, but if you don’t know how to play hard, compete, handle adversity, be a good teammate & be coachable, your abilities won’t matter. If all you do is fall apart when things get hard, your skills become useless. Mindset trumps ability!

[Anthony Pugh @Anthony_Pugh2]

Baylor guards showed that you have to be able to go get a bucket .. but a 50 move combo was never seen - they were 1 move and blow by/pull up or a move or 2 and counter

You have to be able to score off the dribble, but get rid of the unnecessary dribbling & go no where

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Coaches: Whether you win the state title or fall short, it’s just a moment & life will go on. The greatest part of coaching is getting W’s after the season. Seeing players sign LOI, graduate HS, go to college, get jobs, be successful, etc. in the real game...LIFE. That’s Winning!

Western Michigan Christian knocked Orchard View from the ranks of the unbeaten. In the process, the Warriors positioned themselves to earn a Lakes 8 title share. https://t.co/vDoZi1SEGT @WMCsports @OwenVarnado @OVCardinalMBB @BarnesKeontae @WMCHS @OVHSathletics

END 3: Western Michigan Christian 45, Orchard View 35. OV having all kinds of trouble with @OwenVarnado, who scores on a driving layup to end the third for the Warriors’ largest lead of the night. Will the Cardinals fall die the first time this season? @WMCsports @OVCardinalMBB

More proof that players should spend A LOT more time on shooting, finishing & decision making & A LOT less time on fancy dribbling drills & isolation moves!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Parents: Don’t pressure your kids to do what pro athletes are doing. Your kids aren’t pros. When professional players were kids, do you know what they were doing? Most were playing several sports, playing outdoors with their friends & loving being a kid. Let your kid be a kid!

Pastor Gilchrist at University Fellowship challenged me with his message today by asking “Where is my hope? He said when people ask us how we’re doing I should tell them: “I am confident and hopeful because of who is leading me—Jesus Christ.”

[Tony Dungy @TonyDungy]

In his message this morning Pastor asked a great question: If salvation & eternal life is so important to us why don’t we share the way to heaven with more people? Do we not care about our friends or do we really not believe our message? If we care & we believe we need to share.

Duncan Robinson changed tonight’s game taking 0 dribbles

Footwork, spacing, movement, & being ready to shoot the ball

Wondering what to work on?

@OwenVarnado with a double-double performance! Young man has a 4.0 with natural leadership abilities. #collegeradar

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Players: Your body language, attitude, choices & decisions off the court can enhance your athleticism & playing time or it can help destroy it. Don’t think for one second that your athletic career is only based on the minutes during games. Be a positive force for you & your team.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Players: Everybody wants to get noticed. The attention you get should be for the right reasons. Attitude, work ethic & dedication are among the top. Be so good, work so hard, give so much that you can’t be ignored. Learn & grow in a positive way. Your progress will get attention!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Coaches: The person is always more important than the player. Developing better people should be your #1 commitment. Sports have a very short life span. Development, relationships & education will last forever. Seeing kids learn, grow & develop should be what coaches strive for.

@FOX17Zach Getting out the stain glass chalk art...

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Players: You spent summer, fall & winter working, preparing, dreaming about it. Now reap the rewards. Remember, you don't have to be the best team; just be the best team that game. Play for each other & your team; outthink your opponent. Winning starts in your head. Believe it!
