The Bible tells us in 1 Peter 4:10 that, “God has given each of you a gift from His great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.” In everything that we do in coaching we are serving our players, but it is important to be intentional about our service to others and what we involve ourselves in.

During this time of quarantine and a slow reopening of the economy, utilize this time to get better. A great recommendation that I have for you is to enroll in the 3D Coaching Course.

As legendary college basketball coach Phil Marteli once said, “The most powerful thing that you can ever say is Thank You!” Having a mindset of being thankful for the things that others do for you and for the people and opportunities that the Lord has put in your life is incredibly important.

Recent events in our society’s battle with COVID-19; the CoronaVirus; the Chinese Virus - whatever you want to call it or the name of the day, have caused quite a shift from our normal way of doing things. In fact, the phrase “new norm” has even emerged. As you sift through the coming weeks, which are projected to be the worst as far as number of cases and deaths, I have a challenge for you.

The events from the past week can be summed up in one word. CRAZY. Hopefully, years from now we are looking back at this time and realizing just how crazy the month of March was in 2020.

What does it mean though when we pursue the prize? Are we chasing a conference or Sectional title? I think that we are, but those are worldly goals.

As we coaches make plans for the upcoming off-season, reflect on the season that was, and develop our visions of what we are going to do with our teams, let us keep our focus where it needs to be.

Just as Joshua mounted his army to come together under one banner, a banner that honored and fought for God, he reminded them they could accomplish great things. This week as we move forward with our students, our athletes, and our fellow coaches, let us remember we should carry the banner of the Lord forward together, just like a fist.

Think about our walk as Christian coaches. We can always allow the fear of spreading the Gospel to our athletes and other coaches to hold us back. Others will criticize us for our choices - that is a given.

So much was made of Coach Knight’s return to IU on Saturday that it got me to thinking about how people over the years have made so much about how he always did it his way. I remember watching ESPN when Coach Knight set the all-time wins record and they played the Sinatra song, “My Way”. Whether or not you are a big fan of Coach Knight or not (I am) Saturday was special at IU.

Yes, working hard in all that you do and outworking your opponents in all that you do were great examples that Kobe left. His desire to be an amazing father is well documented. Let us not forget though that we as coaches all have the same opportunity.
