“FIGHT - determined effort”
Being a high-level athlete isn't just about the physical skills, it's about having a strong mindset, bouncing back from tough situations, and always wanting to improve.
Think of mental toughness as the rock-solid foundation of a player's determination. It's the inner strength that helps them stay focused and positive, even when facing challenges. This is one of the most difficult things for modern-day athletes to struggle with.
The best players see obstacles as chances to become even better and help their teams rise to new levels.
What's really great is that this determined effort isn't only during games. It's a daily thing, where players stick to a routine, work hard, and prepare well. The real fight for players is about committing to improvement, staying strong during tough times, and always striving for excellence. It's not just about the big moments on the court – it's about the consistent effort that happens behind the scenes.
We do all of this for God’s glory - there is no greater calling!

I pray that your day is full of reminders of God’s love and faithfulness. May you faithfully build your life on Christ.
“But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in my weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” - 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
To God be the glory,
Coach
