Struggles in coaching: Joshua 1 v 9

"Remember I commanded you to be strong & brave. Dont be afraid, because the Lord your God will be with you everywhere you go."

What a verse at a time I need it. Sitting at a competition the whole week & the performances of my athletes have not been satisfactory. So you sit and question what you doing, how you doing it, has enough been done, how have I messed up, where could I have done better. What is wrong with me as a coach & my program?

Sometimes as a coach I believe we need to go through this. Go through the experience of reflection, but we got to make sure we dont break ourselves down so badly that we battle to get up again.

Thats exactly what I am fighting with right now at this meet. It has not been good, my athletes have under performed BUT then even through this unhappiness & disatisfaction the Lord can be the strength through his word. BE Brave & know he is with us.

Eric Liddell

"I believe God made me for a purpose, but He also made me fast. And when I run I feel his pleasure" Eric Liddell (British & Olympic running champion who refused to race on the sabbath because of his belief in God Almighty, the creator of heaven & earth, the maker of all things, the one who sent Jesus christ, his one & only son to come & become flesh as man to die on the cross for our sins, not that we deserve it, but to give us everlasting life & life in abundance).

He has risen!

The Lord has risen, He has risen indeed!
May you all be blessed this easter as we celebrate the death & resurection of our Lord Jesus Christ, as we celebrate what the Lord our God did for us, something that none of us can & ever will understand. That, as it says in John 3v16, "for the Lord loved us so much that He sent His one & only begotten son to die for us, so for whoever should believe in Him will have eternal, everlasting life".

God bless all as we celebrate.

As for me & my House

Got this song stuck in my head today where I cant help thinking how symbolic it can & should be for athletes. Not sure who sings it & I would not do it justice if I tried to sing it for you.

I believe that it is based on a bible verse in Isaih. The words are along the lines of
"As for me & my house.... We will serve you. As for me & my house we will spend our life for you. .... Today I choose to follow you, today I choose to honour, Today I choose..... "

Is this not amazing words. As individuals we have the choice, the choice to accept Jesus as our Lord and saviour. We can make that choice today & is provided the freedom to do so. As athletes we have the choice too. We have the choice to honour God through our sport, our actions, our interactions with other athletes, how we conduct ourselves on the sporting fields, how we honour God through our templs / bodies & talents we have been blessed with.

So today make the choice.
