I guess coaching for me started in 1989 in Hamilton. I was single and started coaching at a local high school. Today, coaching has changed! Instead of it being about coaching some lads who are playing football it has become a big part of coaching my own sons. One of the dilemmas about having three sons is you can't always be everyone's coach.
I have had a chance to coach all three in different sports and by next year all three in football. The one thing I love about coaching is being able to cheer on all the boys.
I want to tell you a true story about when I was growing up. I played soccer in Chatham and my Mom and Dad has split up. I was playing soccer and I thought my Dad was coming... He never showed. I was sad. I really wanted him to see me play. This happened a lot when I was a kid. Thank God for my Mom she was there... a lot!
Maybe you can relate to that story. Maybe you haven't always had someone on the sidelines cheering you on. I want you to know that God is on the sidelines cheering you on. In the Bible God is called "Abba Father" it literally means "Daddy". I know a lot of people have given a lot of messed up ideas of God. A God who is just waiting for you to do something wrong so he can punnish you. I would like to suggest that God is a Father who is cheering you on in the sidelines of life.
"Come on you can do it!! I am here!! Go for it!!
Until next time...
