LEAD SELF. Spiritually, Physically and Emotionally.

I had the opportunity to attend a county-wide coach's symposium in Bibb County, Georgia this week and I was reminded of the pressures that coaches are under as they strive to win on the field and in life.

This was my takeaway.

You must lead yourself as you lead others. Spiritually, physically and emotionally.

Take care of your heart. Set aside time each morning to read the Word and pray to the Lord. Live your life for Christ because you love Him and love the things He loves. (https://coachesmin.org/resources - I provide Bible reading plans and other resources.)

Take care of your body. Eat well, exercise, and get enough rest. I understand that our schedules can be busy, but it's important to make your health a top priority.

Take care of your mind. IRON SHARPENS IRON.  We need each other. Find someone you can talk to, encourage you, and hold you accountable to PRESS ON.

Reach out if you ever need to talk. Sometimes just having a friend to listen can make a great difference. I am here for you. coachesmin.org/iron 

REMEMBER, IN CHRIST... YOU GOT THIS!
