Witness Protection (Integrity - Chapter 2)

April 07, 2008

Set:

For individuals striving to live with integrity, honesty is always the best policy. But some will argue that oftentimes it’s better to say nothing rather than allow the harsh truth to be spoken. Shaun Alexander is one of those people who err on the side of caution when it comes to the words he speaks.

But that wasn’t always the case for the Seattle Seahawks’ running back. In fact, it wasn’t long ago that Alexander would answer every media question with brutal honesty, no matter what kind of fallout his response might cause.

Self Doubt

April 19, 2014

Set:

There are times in coaching when we doubt our abilities to handle a specific match, tournament, or season. Doubt can come up from behind and tackle us after a string of bad games or hit us as after a single loss. We have seen potential in our players and ourselves, but we are unable to explain why the season is going the way it is. This is particularly difficult when we have a strong and personal relationship with our players. We begin to question our abilities to coach and lead our teams. Once we get to this point of self-doubt, it is hard to climb out, and that is exactly where God wants to get us so we will have faith in him rather than in ourselves.

Just One Word

January 02, 2013

Set:

It’s hard to simplify life. Narrowing the focus seems impossible. Over this past year, you may have been asked hundreds of times, “How is it going?” Your response was probably something like, “I have been SO busy!” You never hear someone say, “I’ve had so much time on my hands, and I’m looking for something new to do.” That person doesn’t exist.

What do I still lack?

March 14, 2014

Set:

The fastest kid on my track team was an imposing figure. He was 6 feet tall and weighed 170 lbs. He was absolutely ripped and had thighs like tree trunks. When he ran, he looked like a gazelle. He had all the makings of a top-class sprinter, but there was one thing he lacked: commitment. He missed practices, showed up late for meets and had a hard time finishing workouts. Although he possessed all of the physical tools, he rarely gave his all.

Inspired by Joy

Key Verse: "This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." - Psalm 118:24

Armintie Price has faced many challenges in life. What challenges are you facing in your life right now?
Price finds joy in her relationship. Why are relationships with teammates so vital to team success?
Her mother came down with cancer. It was a turning point in Price’s life. How do you find joy in the midst of trial and stress?
Read Psalm 118:24. What does this verse mean to you?

Strength in Numbers

August 30, 2012

Set:

Have you ever tried doing something alone? Something like running, working out or even watching a movie? If you have, then you know how lonely it can get and how much harder it is to finish the task. But, when you do have a partner—a sidekick, someone who has your back, someone who spots you in the weight room—doesn’t it seem to make you push a little more and work a little harder?

When it comes to living as Christians, the same principle applies. Isn’t it more difficult to talk to a stranger about God when you’re alone? Isn’t it so much more tempting to slip into sin when no one is there to help you fight temptation?

A Few Good Men

January 25, 2010

Set:

Today, the entire state of Louisiana is asking one question: “Who dat?” It’s part of the celebration surrounding their Saints’ 31-28 overtime victory against the Minnesota Vikings in yesterday’s NFC Championship game.

As the Saints marched through this season to where they are now, much attention has been given to their quarterback, Drew Brees. He’s been on magazine covers (including the January issue of FCA’s Sharing the Victory) and in thousands of interviews. His story is remarkable—one that clearly shows the power of God at work in his life, both on and off the field.

Tug-O-War

September 30, 2003

One: Yeah---It's time for the annual Tug, Tug-O-War!

Two: Yes! It is Tug, Tug-O-War time!

Judge: To your places, tuggers.

One: Hold up! O Great Tug Awareness!

Two: Yeah, before we get roped into this. What is this Tug-O-War thing anyway?

Judge: HA---HAAAAAA! You're serious aren't you? Okay, Webster defines Tug-O-War as a contest in which two teams pull at opposite ends of a rope, each trying to drag the other across a central line.

One and Two: Okay, Ready, 1, 2, 3 (Both pull against themselves - the wrong way)

You Decide

November 07, 2011

Set:

Because God gives us free choice, we get to make decisions daily, hourly, even moment by moment. Every day, every time you go to the field, court, or whatever arena you compete in, you have a decision to make: "I am going to get better today," or "I am going to get worse today." There is no middle ground.

While going through stretches, drills and even social activities involved with our teams we have new experiences every day. And with those experiences, we reinforce habits, good or bad, and become stronger or weaker players. While none of us would actually decide to get worse on a given day, many times, by our failure to make the decision to do it right--do it for the Lord--we make that choice by default.

One Of A Kind

March 10, 2009

Separate students into smaller groups of 4-8, preferably in a circle configuration. Call on mature student or adult leaders to facilitate each small group through this experience.

Instruct each person in your group to think of one unique thing about him or herself that no else would know and write it on a piece of paper. Collect the papers and mix them up. Read each unique thing aloud and challenge students to guess who it is about. Continue until all the facts have been guessed.

Wear the Colors

September 15, 2013

Set:

I can still remember when my coaches handed out uniforms to those of us who had made the cut. We were all so proud to be wearing our school’s colors. The best part was being able to wear our jerseys to school on game days. Being identified as part of the team somehow made each one of us walk a little taller.

And now I have the blessing of seeing my young sons experience that same thrill of putting on their uniforms and being part of a team. When they put on their jerseys, they seem to grow in confidence, as if they are truly part of something special.

So Much Moore

April 03, 2013

Set:

The historic career of University of Connecticut All-American Maya Moore came to an end when the Huskies fell short to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the 2011 NCAA women’s basketball Final Four.

Even though women’s basketball sometimes flies under the radar, it was impossible to ignore the thing that Moore has achieved during her time at UConn. She helped the Huskies to the longest winning streak (ever) in college basketball, become the first player to win three consecutive Wade Trophy awards, was named an All-American four times, and helped the Huskies to four Final Fours. And, get this. Wanna know how many games she lost during her entire career? Four. She had as many Final Four appearances and All-America titles as she did losses. Now, that’s a sports legacy.

Quiet Confidence

February 19, 2014

Set:

We coaches spend a great deal of time and energy trying to instill confidence in our athletes. Hopefully our efforts are effective not only in competition but also in every area of our players’ lives. False confidence, the sort that stems from reliance on ourselves or our circumstances, is quite common in sports because it so easily comes with much flexing of muscles. Quiet confidence, on the other hand, is the opposite of surety that is built on physical strength. Quiet confidence comes only through faith in God, and it results in an assurance that we can handle whatever we face. How often do we conduct team practice with a quiet confidence?
