Game time!

So the season is upon many of my athletes. It's a chance to show off all the winter training, but beware of the struggles that are in your path. No matter how many swings you took last winter, you're still going to strike out this spring. No matter how many sprints you ran, you're still going to get beat. I'm not sharing this as a defeated message, but a reminder of reality. I am so proud of the work you put in to prepare, but there is new work to be done. You mentally have to keep working, and physically too. Keep your eyes on the goal of doing your very best and attach yourself to the messages your coaches are telling you. The game isn't won yet! Find joy in the new season and the new challenges which you will face. Rise up and accept, and win over these battles!

"Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. (James 1:2, 3 NLT)"
