Why Keep Growing? Finding Motivation That Lasts
Every athlete hits the wall. Not the one in the fourth quarter when your legs give out. The other one. It shows up in week six of the season, or in the middle of a long summer of lifting. The alarm goes off and you just lie there. The film you used to study now […]

When the Call Doesn’t Go Your Way
The Call That Stings You know the feeling. You beat the throw by a full step, and the umpire rings you up. You go straight up for the rebound, and the whistle says you fouled. You score the go-ahead goal, and the flag goes up for offside when you know you were onside. Your face…

When It’s Hard to Play for Your Coach

When the Season Ends
The Walk Off the Field The scoreboard reads 0:00. Your teammates are hugging, crying, or just staring at the turf. Somebody’s dad is taking pictures. And you are standing there in a jersey you will never put on again. If you are a fall senior, that moment is either right in…

Out of the Lineup, Not Out of the Body
You have a teammate who tore their ACL in the third game of the season. The first week, their phone blew up. Teammates texted. Coaches checked in. A couple of guys dropped off food. By week four, it got quiet. Your teammate still came around, at least some days. But they sat at…

When You Feel Like You Have Something to Prove: Competing From Your Identity in Christ
You don’t have to prove your worth through your performance. You can compete from the security of knowing who you are in Christ. Have you ever stepped onto the court, field, or track feeling like you had something to prove? Maybe a coach questioned your ability. Maybe a teammate…

You’re Coaching More Than a Sport: The Lasting Impact of a Coach
Your athletes may remember the wins and losses, but they will also remember how you treated them and who you helped them become. You have a practice plan to finish. Film to review. A lineup to set. A game plan to prepare. Your athletes need feedback, your staff needs direction,…
