So what does The Coach's Praybook all entail? It contains 40 prayers designed for coaches to cover their players, team, or program in prayer. These prayers are meant to add a spiritual dimension to coaching duties, which should be a higher priority than other tasks.

Don't wait for more revelation Be obedient to the amount of revelation God has given you. @MarkBatterson

Nebraska might have the best fans in all of sports

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo: "The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."

@CoachLSimmons Thanks coach 👊

It’s not about me, it’s about us! Leaders know it’s not about them. When you win or things go well, it’s because of your people. When you lose or things go wrong, it’s because of you. Great leaders always give the praise and take all of the blame. They support their people and serve their needs. They’re not afraid of taking accountability or responsibility. Jesus is the ultimate model of this. All we need to do is to look to Him to see what this looks like played out. Leadership is a huge responsibility that should not be taken lightly. It’s your job to love and inspire others, and help them to see their value and to feel that value. Lead humbly. Serve greatly. Love deeply. Be a leader worth following….because it’s their choice to follow you! Team > ME

Friday leadership Leaders aren’t invincible—we’re battle tested. Every scar represents a lesson earned. Don’t hide it. Lead with it. That’s how you build trust. #dailyleadership

Wednesday Leadership Standards don’t adjust to people—people rise to the standard or get left behind. Leadership is enforcing it daily, not just preaching it occasionally. #LeadershipDevelopment

These 86 seconds will make you great. On having an internal standard:

I have one life and one chance to make it count for something. I’m free to choose that something. That something is my faith. My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I can, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have, to try to make a difference J Carter

“The greatest of all miracles is that we need not be tomorrow what we are today, but we can improve if we make use of the potential implanted in us by God" Samuel M. Silver

We have to treat the body as the servant of Jesus Christ: when the body says “Sit,” and He says “Go,” go! When the body says “Eat,” and He says “Fast,” fast! When the body says “Yawn,” and He says “Pray,” pray! Oswald Chambers

The great word of Jesus to His disciples is Abandon. When God has brought us into the relationship of disciples, we have to venture on His word; trust entirely to Him and watch that when He brings us to the venture, we take it. O. Chambers Studies in the Sermon on the Mount

The great privilege of discipleship is that I can commit myself under the banner of His Cross, and that means death to sin Oswald Chambers

10 Things Educators Need During a School Break and Why 1. Sleep without an alarm Your nervous system has been living on adrenaline and cortisol. Deep rest helps reset the brain restore emotional regulation and improve memory mood and immune function. 2. Silence and nothingness The brain needs quiet to downshift from constant decision making. Mental stillness reduces cognitive overload and allows the prefrontal cortex to come back online. 3. A non rushed bathroom visit Having to suppress basic bodily needs keeps the brain in a low level stress state. Unrushed bathroom access restores a sense of safety dignity and control which directly calms the nervous system. 4. Laughter that makes your stomach hurt Laughter releases endorphins and dopamine which naturally reduce stress and anxiety. It also reminds your brain and body that joy still exists outside of survival mode. 5. Connection with people who do not need anything from you Educators give all day long. Low demand relationships restore emotional energy and protect against compassion fatigue. 6. A slow bath or shower in the morning Warm water activates the parasympathetic nervous system lowering cortisol and muscle tension. A slow start to the day tells the brain you are safe and not in crisis mode. 7. Food that is eaten slowly and actually enjoyed Mindful eating supports digestion stabilizes blood sugar and calms the nervous system. Your body deserves nourishment not rushed fuel. 8. Time without solving problems Constant problem solving keeps the brain in threat detection mode. Breaks from decision making allow the nervous system to recalibrate and reduce mental exhaustion. 9. Reminders that you are more than your job Identity overload increases burnout risk. Engaging in hobbies or creativity activates different neural pathways and restores a sense of wholeness. 10. A true break with compassion for yourself Compassion fatigue is real. Prolonged caring without recovery depletes emotional reserves. Rest and self kindness rebuild resilience empathy and long term sustainability. Final Thought School breaks are not a luxury. They are neurological and emotional repair time. Rest is not quitting. Rest is what allows educators to return regulated connected and able to keep doing the work that matters so deeply.

The cost of EVERYTHING is the amount of your life you exchange for it…

The Bible does not thrill; the Bible nourishes. Give time to the reading of the Bible and the recreating effect is as real as that of fresh air physically. Oswald Chambers Disciples Indeed, 387 R
