Living with the end in mind is key to my confidence today. If, as a coach, you knew the final score of the game was in your favor, how would you coach during the game? In the game of life and eternity, God is the champion, and victory is guaranteed. Daniel chapters 7 to 12 give us a glimpse into the future in which God will reign with all who believe.

Goal
Athletes need to realize that it must begin with faith in Jesus Christ. The Lord alone is able to forgive. They must have the wisdom to make the right decisions and have the strength to carry those decisions out. Athletes will be presented with the claims of Jesus Christ and will be challenged to make Him the Lord and Savior of their lives.

Warm Up
Divide into groups of four or five. Give each group a pen and a piece of paper and ask them to write down as many ad slogans as they can in 60 seconds. For example: “I’m lovin’ it™” and “Just do it.” Ask two or three groups to share their slogans with everyone. Point out how these messages get stuck in our brains.

God’s Perfect Game Plan

Watch the video, then walk through the questions below.

Key Verse: ‘For I know the plans I have for you’- [this is] the Lord’s declaration- ‘plans for [your] welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. –Jeremiah 29:11

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.

Ready

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

1. Which of your trophies, awards, or achievements make you most proud? Why?
   
    
2. Jump forward 10 years in your life. What would your dream life look like? If you
   achieved that dream, what would be the point, the payoff, the “so what”?

Winning for Christ

Watch the video and walk through the questions below.

Key Verse: In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus— Philippians 2:5 (NIV)

• Can you think of anyone that you know who has a winning-for-Christ attitude? Are you one of these people?
• How can you demonstrate winning for Christ as you play your sport?
• When you walk off the court or field, what will people say about you?
• Read Philippians 2:5. How are we supposed to act in relationships with one another?
• What would have happened if Case hadn’t acted with the mindset of Jesus Christ?

Goal
Too many attribute those intermittent disturbing instances of disobedience to the pressure our peers exert upon us. Is it really peer pressure? Is there literally someone “making” us smoke cigarettes, drink liquor or smoke weed? The threat is peer influence. Peer influence gradually and consistently speaks “do as I do,” hoping we eventually give up, give in, and then give out. In this section athletes will learn to identify peer pressure and peer influence and ways of defusing them both.

Key Scriptures
Psalms 139:13-16; Romans 12:1-2; Genesis 1:26; Proverbs 14:21; James 4:7
