Philippians 3:7-11 – Your desire is key! if you focus on the right desires, you’ll have the right goals to achieve true success. Becoming a successful competitor takes motivation and drive, so there’s got to be a payoff if we’re going to invest the sweat-equity into training and performing as a champion.

WOULD YOU RATHER … win a bunch of sports trophies or get $100 for each one?

2. Jump forward 10 years in your life. What would your dream life look like? If you

Resolve- to decide, to purpose, a firm determination (Webster’s Dictionary)

How important is a firm determination in competition? Resolve comes from an inner conviction that a certain way to go is the right way. As coaches, we have to be convinced that our training program and game plan are going to work. Tony Dungy was resolved to coach his players God’s way because he was convinced it was the right way to go. By doing things God’s way, he was convinced he would also get the best from his players.

Name a person or team that has demonstrated resolve.

How has this person impacted you?
