"Being A Student of The Game"

"Players of all sports bare the responsibility of becoming a student of the sport"

The phrase "student-athlete" is often perceived as a person who plays sports and who makes academics a top and high priority; however players must also be reminded that being a student-athlete requires that you continue to increase your knowledge and schooling in the area of the sport you've chosen to play.

Something to remember:
Increased knowledge in areas of your life that are important to you will have a increasing and everlasting positive impact on the outcome of your overall performance & interest.

"Give Coaches A Break"

Good coaches in many cases get a bad rap because they sometimes inherit players who are undisciplined, unskilled, un coachable, non-competitive and some even have unhealthy work habits & negative attitudes which in many cases causes unwanted problems (on the team) that ultimately become the coaches nightmares.

Not all coaches are bad, in fact, most are pretty good and are exactly what student-athletes need to continue to grow and develop into the type of players & person they desire to become.

Give good coaches a break because they too are human and truly care about young people, their personal growth and overall development in sports and life.

The next time you feel the need to lash out at a good coach and/or throw him/her under the bus, stop, take a look in the mirror and remember that none of us are perfect, [not even you] and that prayer is and always will be the answer.

God Put "Faith Inside of His Word"

~ There is Faith & Power in God's Holy Word and in the name of Jesus~

God placed faith inside of his word therefore when we get the word inside of our hearts, we get the faith. And when we have the faith (living inside of us) we're able to speak the work of God against any and all things that comes against us in the name of Jesus.

Read The Word, Get The Faith!

Sowing & Seeding The Success Of Others

Reaching out and touching the hands of others for the sole purpose of helping them achieve a higher level of success suitable to their needs and liking is the fundamental principle of sowing and seeding the success of others without wanting anything in return.

Everyone has something that they can offer to someone else. It takes selflessness and a heart of generosity to invest in someone else's future. Therefore, when it's in your power to act, in good will for the good of others, be bold and plant the seed.

~"God will always replace what you give when you give with the heart of Christ"~

Positive People Produce Positive Resuts

Stop listening to lies! Stop listening to negative people! Stop listening to media propaganda!

It's all designed to get you confused, worried, place fear inside of your mind and paralyze you for the sole purpose of keeping you from living a life filled with joy, peace, happiness and contentment.

Something 2 Remember:
"Positive people with positive messages produce positive results as well as they have a greater impact on effective growth among people throughout our society."
