My attitude on and off the field is above reproach – my conduct beyond criticism.
Whether I am preparing, practicing or playing; I submit to God’s authority and those He has put over me.
I respect my coaches, officials, teammates and competitors out of respect for the Lord.

My attitude on and off the field is above reproach – my conduct beyond criticism.
Read Titus 2:6-8. What is God saying to you through this passage? How does this passage apply to athletics?

How can your attitude and conduct impact your team?

Are you pleased with the example you are setting for those on your team? Do you think God is pleased with your example? Why or why not?

I do not trust in myself.
I do not boast in my abilities or believe in my own strength.
I rely solely on the power of God.
I compete for the pleasure of my Heavenly Father, the honor of Christ, and the
reputation of the Holy Spirit.

I do not trust in myself.
How important is trust to your success in athletics?

What are some ways you can show trust to those on your team and your coaching staff?

My body is the temple of Jesus Christ.
I protect it from within and without. Nothing enters my body that does not
honor the Living God.
My sweat is an offering to my Master. My soreness is a sacrifice to my Savior.

My body is the temple of Jesus Christ.
How would you describe God’s temple to someone? How is it described in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17?

What does it mean to say, “My body is the temple of Jesus Christ?”

I protect it from within and without. Nothing enters my body that does not honor the Living God.
What are some things you try to “protect” your body from? How do you protect it from these things?

1.What was Colt McCoy’s definition of integrity? Do you agree or disagree

2. McCoy says that a Christian athlete should play with integrity. Why is that important?

 

3. How does it affect others to see integrity modeled on the field?

 

This is a fun game that's not hard and easy for a group of almost any size.

How to play:

Everyone sits in a circle. There is one person who is "it." There is an imaginary sign being passed around the circle. The person in the middle hast to catch the person who "has" the sign.

Everyone has their own "sign."  These signs can be simple or complicated, like a thumbs up or scraching your ear or something like that. 

The person who starts with the sign can pass it by doing another person's sign. The other person has to respond with his own sign to receive the "sign." This continues around the circle until the person in the middle figures out who has the sign.

Key Verse: I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me. – Philippians 4:13 

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes was an idea born in Don McClanen’s heart in 1947 when he was a student at what is now Oklahoma State University.  He believed that athletes could use their platform of influence to present Jesus Christ to the entire culture in a powerful way.  McClanen officially began FCA in 1954.  The first FCA Camp was held in 1956 at Estes Park, CO with 256 athletes and coaches attending.  The campus ministry began with the formation of FCA Huddles in 1966.  Since then, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes has expanded into the largest sports ministry in the world.
