“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:10

[Clif Marshall @ClifMarshall]

Sports make a great game - but a terrible God.

Listen carefully if you’re an athlete…

One day the season will end.
One day the career will end.
One day the applause will stop.

If your identity is in the game, you’ll feel lost when the game is gone.

But if your identity is in God, the game simply becomes a platform.

Sports are meant to be played.
They were never meant to be worshipped.

Train hard.
Compete with excellence.
Honor God with your effort.

But never forget:

Your purpose is bigger than your performance.

“You shall have no other gods before me.”
{Exodus 20:3}

Jaccob Slavin on what it means to declare Jesus as Lord:

“Jesus is my everything. He’s Lord of all my life because if he’s not Lord of everything, he’s not Lord at all.”

Powerful perspective from Slavin.

Why Coaching Is Harder Than People Think (A Holiday Reminder)…

Because coaching isn’t just about plays, drills, or game nights.

It’s about people.

It’s about walking into practice every day and managing emotions you didn’t create but are responsible for.

Your own.
Your players.
Your assistants.
Parents.
Administrators.
Fans.

It’s about teaching kids who are all at different stages.

Different maturity levels.
Different confidence levels.
Different home situations.

And somehow holding them to the same standards while still meeting them where they are.

It’s about decisions that look simple from the stands but feel heavy from the sideline.

Who plays.
When.
Why.
How you communicate it.

And how that decision might land on a 16-year-old who ties their identity to minutes.

It’s about losing sleep over kids who won’t buy in.

Over conversations you need to have.

Over mistakes you replay in your head long after everyone else moved on.

It’s about being judged by people who see the outcome, not the process.

The scoreboard, not the hours.

The result, not the relationships.

And yet, you show up again.

You plan. You teach. You model. You care.

As the season slows and the holidays arrive, this is the reminder:

What you do matters.

Even when it goes unseen.
Even when it feels heavy.
Even when it’s hard.

Coaching is about influence. And influence lasts longer than any season.

That’s why coaching is harder than people think. And also why it matters so much.

As the year winds down, I hope you find a little rest, a little perspective, and a lot of pride in the work you’re doing.

🎄Happy Holidays, Coach.

“Two most important decisions you’ll make in life:
1. Whether you follow Jesus or not.
2. Who you marry.”
- NFL Hall of Fame Inductee Jared Allen

[Jon Root @JonnyRoot_]

“When I get called home to heaven one day, if all they talk about is this gold jacket, then I failed miserably as a father, a husband, & a friend. You two, [my daughters], are my legacy… Always put Christ first.”

Every year I watch March Madness I never see any 6’3 post players. When I go to NFL Pro Days there are 6’3 dudes everywhere.

Play more football!
