Why athletics are biblical — and what that means to you

Did you know that athletics are biblical? 2 Timothy 2:5 ESV says, “An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.” Well, what are the rules? To help answer that, there are six Core Values that our L.E.A.D. Ambassadors (use link https://www.lead2legacy.org/) adhere to:

  1. Excellence – Meeting expectations
  2. Humility – Not thinking of yourself less so that you can serve others more
  3. Integrity – Doing the right thing even when you can do the wrong thing
  4. Loyalty – Doing the right thing for the right reasons, even if they’re not popular
  5. Stewardship – Protector of your values and people
  6. Teamwork – Being your best within a group of people who are being their best for a specific purpose

Sports was the one thing that kept me focused on making good decisions when I was a child. It also shaped my character through adulthood. Unfortunately, too many athletes participate in sports for success failing to realize that significance is greater than success. Significance is using your success to serve others.

To help keep your skills sharp, we have introduced a new type of Skill Build—our Virtual Skill Build—where I can help you develop hitting skills anytime, anywhere using anything. Check it out.

Remember: Intelligence tops being smart.
