  • True Champions

    September 01, 2013

    devotional
    Set: 

    My wife coached with the Houston Comets when they were crowned the first WNBA champions. When most people see her championship ring, very few think about what it took to obtain it. The Comets won it all because that team consisted of true champions.

    A champion is by definition an ardent defender or supporter of a cause or another person; one who fights; a mighty warrior. In the case of Goliath, it literally means the man between the two, denoting the position he held between the quarreling camps. From this vantage point, we’re given a very clear indication of what a true champion is: one who willingly steps up when it’s time to do battle.

    Heart of a Coach: Erica Walsh, Penn State University

    Last season, Penn State women’s soccer coach Erica Walsh led the Nittany Lions to the national championship game.

    Heart of an Athlete: Becca Wann, University of Richmond

    Playing two Division I sports is nothing new for Richmond senior Becca Wann. For the past three years the Chesterfield, Va., native has immediately gone from the soccer field to the basketball hardwood, a yearly routine that occupies eight consecutive months at a time. With those days soon coming to a close, Wann is looking to build on her already stellar athletic résumé and to utilize her platform to share her faith.

    Fields of Faith Spotlight: Southwest Florida FCA

    Edwin Etienne has a favorite phrase: God Over Everything. That “everything” includes fear and nerves, which—for a kid of Etienne’s stature—you wouldn’t think would be much of a problem.
    But sure enough, when the football star and state champion wrestler was asked to speak at Riverdale (Fla.) High School’s Fields of Faith event last year, the butterflies were in his stomach.

    Home Stretch: Alfred Morris, Washington Redskins

    My family didn’t have much, growing up in poverty in Pensacola, Fla., but we had
    each other, and that was really all we needed. My six brothers and I loved to be outside playing every sport imaginable, sometimes even inventing our own games. I can still remember playing football in the yard with my brothers and cousins, dreaming of one day playing in the NFL.

  • For the Team

    August 31, 2013

    devotional
    Set: 
    One of the things I have always liked about Notre Dame football is the fact that the players don’t have their names on the back of their jerseys. There is a sense that when you play for this school, you are part of something far bigger than you. There are decades of history, legendary coaches, and miraculous wins.
     
    No one player is more important than the team. It takes commitment, sacrifice, and a relentless pursuit of excellence from every single person in the locker room—from the water boys to the head coach, from the athletic trainers to the quarterback.
     

  • Toughness

    August 30, 2013

    devotional
    Set: 
    When I was eight years old, my older brother, Steve, younger brother, Bill, and I were heading home from playing baseball. Suddenly, some kid attacked Steve from behind. Six-year-old Bill picked up our bat and began to wail on Steve’s attacker. The kid took off, and we sprinted home. Soon, a knock came at our door. Knowing it was the enemy, we sent Mom. Swinging a rolling pin in her hand, she yelled for the kid to go home and never come back. He never came back because he knew the Elliotts were tough!
