A Message from Coach Thompson
Raise Your Game
There is no doubt about it, readers are leaders! The average Fortune 500 CEO reads 52 books per year. I recently finished up “Raise Your Game” from Alan Stein and I highly recommend this to each of you. I have told my staff to check this out and told them to ask for it for Christmas if they haven’t already.
Here are nine great nuggets from this book.
You can tell a lot about a person based on how they behave on the court.
Success is a result of what we do all of the time.
How you do anything is how you do everything.
Success isn’t something that happens to you; it’s something you attract, you choose, and you create.
You must make the choice to close the gap between what you know and what you do.
The real work is up to you. After all, you can’t pay somebody else to do the push-ups for you.
No one achieves success alone.
There are only two things in this world that we have 100 percent control over, 100 percent of the time. That is our effort and our enthusiasm.
Learning how to control the controllables is imperative to maximizing performance.
FCA Message from Jason Brand & Billy Holder
Our Privilege
We are immensely privileged to be in our roles today. The Lord God has richly blessed us.
"For You have delivered my soul from death, Indeed my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of the living." Psalms 56:13
God has delivered us so we may walk with Him in this day where sport is such an immensely important vehicle for Coaches to show their relationship with Jesus Christ. Walk mindful of His presence and pleasure with you.
Thank you for the pleasure to work with you and share in Christ's mission,
SW Indiana FCA Leaders
