Coaches who’ve had issues with your athletes cramping! We used this and it works. I urge you to consider. I saw a young man come off the football field 3 times with cramps last week. This will help. #Football @JFKEagles @WeAreAFCA @NFHS_Org banadrink.com/

Remembering the great Frosty Westering today. With 305 wins and 4 national titles, his resume was hall-of-fame worthy; but his true legacy lives on in the thousands of lives he touched by leading with love and positivity. #RIPFrostyWestering #Attaway

“Before you play the game…fine-tune your heart, mind and soul.” Many athletes are restricted through pressure, comparison, fear, and emotion. BEST GAME helps athletes take control of heart, mind, and soul—so performance becomes a byproduct.

The example of Jesus was not weakness. He faced rejection, opposition, and suffering w/o backing down. That kind of courage teaches: *stand for what's honorable *compete with conviction *calm in chaos *controlled emotions and actions That's competitive composure, not softness.

Apropos for today’s world. Thank you! Here’s a radical way to compete in life and sports tied to Jesus. radicalcompetitor.com/
Jesus was a radical reformer of religion, in large part because he showed no interest in maintaining purity systems or closed systems of any kind. They only appeal to the ego and lead no one to God. buff.ly/etzbR6W

"If you follow Jesus, you're soft." Jesus called his people to deny themselves & take up their cross. That's not soft. That translates into: *daily discipline *train when you don’t feel like it *team before ego These are the traits coaches desire in elite competitors.

"Playing for Jesus means you're soft." Following Jesus-your identity is secure before the game begins. Because: You can play fearlessly You can handle failure without collapsing You can stay confident without arrogance It's the opposite of soft—it’s a challenge to play this way

"If you follow Jesus you're soft." Jesus calls people to control anger, ego, and fear. That takes heart strength. Athletes train their bodies. Fewer train their heart & soul. Playing w/ humility, integrity & self-control under pressure is grit & toughness at a higher level.

Most important part of winning is joy. You can win without joy but winning that’s joyless is like eating in a 4 star restaurant when not hungry. Joy is a current of energy in your body, like sunlight that fills you up and makes you naturally want to do your best. Bill Russell

BEST GAME APPROACH: When fear rises — speak truth. When adversity hits — speak resilience. When doubt whispers — speak to your identity. Words rewire our environment. Even HOF's need affirmation. Jackie Smith drops a potential game-tying touchdown pass in Super Bowl loss.

“God breathed and the universe began.” Breath is a gift. Inhale for 4 seconds, then exhale for 4. Do it two more times. Did anything change? You just accessed one of God’s built-in performance tools. Breath.

50 years ago tonight, I would argue that our HS hockey team played in the state championship game. The team that would win went on and won it. Congrats to GRHS Hockey & Jim Jetland, who stood on his head and beat JFK. Sad to say JFK no longer has hockey. #TakeItToTheLimit

Jesus gives peace and He left peace. And peace isn’t passive. As an athlete, when do you feel most calm? After practice? After reps? After film? Peace comes from preparation. Spiritually, it’s very similar. Coaches have more peace at the end of games after this play in 1978.

BEST GAME APPROACH: KNOW WHO YOU ARE The Truth holds a place. Truth in love holds everything in place. The Truth in love... You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are made in the image of God.

When you mess up, what do you say to yourself? Now flip it. If your teammate makes the same mistake, what will you say to them? Guard your heart. Guard a teammates heart.

Let me ask you a question. What’s the first thing to give up in a game you’re losing? Is it your legs? No. Is it your skill set? No. Is it conditioning? No. I would suggest it’s our heart. And when our heart goes… everything else follows.

BEST GAME APPROACH: Truth in love builds culture. Truth without love destroys it. And when truth becomes your belt — you stop letting lies harden your heart.

BEST GAME APPROACH: LOVE NEVER FAILS • Love drives out fear, doubt, and anxiety • Loving teammates strengthens culture “When love leads, opportunity arises.”
