Coach JoshCarmichael

I played for Nick Saban, Bill Belichick, and Sean Payton. I studied under some of the greatest coaching minds in the history of professional football. And after the Lord saved me, I realized something that changed everything. Every single leadership principle that made those teams thrive is biblical. They just did it for the glory of man instead of the glory of God. Here is what I mean. Belichick taught us to do our jobs. Scripture commands us to work as unto the Lord, not for the approval of men. (Col. 3:23) Belichick held Tom Brady to a higher standard than anyone else. Scripture says to whom much is given, much is required. (Luke 12:48) Belichick cut the cancer immediately, no matter the cost. Scripture tells us that a little leaven leavens the whole lump. (Gal. 5:9) Belichick sacrificed personal credit and took responsibility for every loss. Scripture calls leaders to be servants first. (Matthew 20:26) Brady sacrificed personal stats for the good of the team. Scripture says do nothing out of selfish ambition, but in humility consider others above yourself. (Phil. 2:3) Brady could encourage a teammate and confront him in the same breath. Scripture says speak the truth in love. (Eph. 4:15) These men did not know they were pulling from eternal, biblical commands. But the principles worked. They always work. Because truth is truth whether the man wielding it knows its source or not. Now imagine this. If these principles built a two-decade dynasty in professional football with men who did not know the Lord, what would God do through His church if we humbled ourselves and followed the same playbook? What would happen in your marriage if you coached yourself harder than you coach anyone else? What would happen in your home if you cut the cancers of laziness, passivity, and selfishness? What would happen in your leadership if you stopped protecting your ego and started serving your team? The blueprint is not new. The playbook has been written for two thousand years. The question is whether you are willing to run it. I spent 10 years in the NFL and the best locker rooms I ever walked into operated on principles that Scripture laid out long before football existed. Stop looking for a new framework. Open the Book. And do your job.

What's your strength standard to be a D1 football athlete?  If you're 5'11" and 190 lbs, you’re likely aiming for a safety position.  1️⃣ Vertical jump: 30+ inches 2️⃣ Power clean: 265+ lbs 3️⃣ Back squat: 405+ lbs 4️⃣ Bench press: 315+ lbs 5️⃣ Power snatch: 185+ lbs

As a young man in my early twenties, I’m unsure if I would have made the same decision as Michael Jordan…but what I do know is that these kind of sliding door moments are all around us every day… In different flavours and in varying degrees of influence…but they really are all around us. This can be as small as choosing to get up a little earlier, completing that bit of work that needs finishing rather than stopping, or reading those extra few pages to learn a little more (rather than skipping over them). Or it can be bigger moments - summoning up the courage to have that conversation that can make a difference to your career (rather than being passive from fear), or owning up to a mistake that has been costly to the people around you (rather than ignoring it and damaging relationships at a later time). I write all of this not because I’m some kind of machine that gets these moments right. I write this not because I’m someone who makes great decisions all the time and walks through the right door often. On the contrary, I regularly miss the door or walk with carefree abandon through the wrong one. I write this as a reminder to myself. Those sliding door moments are all around us. They impact our relationships, success and enjoyment at work, and experiences in life. Moments make a life. That’s worth thinking about daily…

Fresh and Healthy!

Great young man and ball player. Big things are coming for you D’Anthony.

The Eagle vs. the Crow. A great lesson and reminder for coaches who live their life in “the arena.” Don’t waste your time with the crows. Simply fly higher.

I think one mindset that we have to shift when we are in the leadership position is, we're not in charge of people, we are responsible for people. — Dakota Meyer 515-0:57:11

Giving thanks is what you do with the surprising recognition that the good in your life outweighs the bad. Which, given the gospel, is always true for Christians. So we can always give thanks, sincerely and wholeheartedly, no matter how much bad there is. The good is bigger. Given eternity, infinitely bigger.

The difference is the relentless effort you decide to give for your team.

Coaches he can literally do it all on the field!
