"Building on his many years [as] a local pastor, Noel White reflects on the Christian life through the unique lens of basketball."--Page [2]
Playing basketball teaches everything you need to succeed in life, including teamwork, discipline, commitment, dedication, and the value of hard work. The most successful players don't just put the ball in the basket-they apply what they've learned to their own lives so they can be successful on and off the court. John Berry, who has coached for more than twenty years, shares basketball tips infused with life lessons in this guidebook to the game and life. Lessons include: When the coach screams at a player, the player tunes out the words. When the coach whispers, the player strains to hear. If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough. Your teeth should be chattering. Go for it. The sky is the limit. Emulate the janitor-first in, last out, works hard, does the dirty work, no expectation of limelight or praise. This is the ultimate team player. Critics, doubters, pessimists-they're all insignificant. All that matters is what you believe. Believe in yourself
It is my intent in the writing of this book to reveal a few of the many lessons (in life) that should be taught to our student athletes. We must be able to reach each individual's heart and mind through the understanding of these methods, concepts and ideas. I firmly believe we must develop the character of the student athlete first in order for them to achieve success in life and through this development of character the student athlete will establish a firm foundation on which to make sound decisions. The coaching of basketball allows an opportunity to teach and establish positive morals and values and in doing so will allow the student athlete a foundation from which they can reasonably expect success. We as coaches, parents and educators must help to develop the minds and hearts of our young student athletes if we are to succeed and flourish as a nation. It is my belief that through a successful sports program, such positive ideas, concepts and methods can be taught and expressed. I believe such ideas as setting goals, the development of a positive attitude and self-discipline are essential in the growth and well-being of our student athletes and our nation. Hopefully, through the teaching of these ideas and methods, individual growth will continue and with an expanded self awareness, selfishness will be replaced by selflessness. When this transformation of the heart and mind is complete and when we, as individuals, turn from selfishness to selflessness, all mankind will begin to fully understand the meaning of God's love. It is through the acceptance of God's love, we as His creation are drawn to Jesus Christ. For God is love and it is only through knowing Jesus Christ that love truly lives. I wholeheartedly believe, that with this new found knowledge of Christ, will come eternal truth, faith, hope and salvation. (John 3:16) Respectfully, Phil Ripton
Something we appreciate most about sports are the lessons that we learn in competition that can be applied to everyday life. In Coachable, Colin makes several parallels between basketball and life, not just any part of life but the deepest most foundational part of life""the spiritual part. In this book the reader will gain understanding of the game of basketball and how leaders and coaches impact their teams and their organizations. Fundamental principles like teamwork, defense, and leadership will be unpacked and discussed on how the best coaches and teams operate and why they are so good. We all have people who we learn from. People who have coached us and taught us in more than just basketball. The people we learn from and follow are the people who shape us into the coach, parent, friend, colleague, and person that we become. There is no greater coach that we can learn from than God himself. He created us, he knows us, and he knows how we can grow and develop into what he has called us to be . . . people who love him and want to impact this world for the better. So dive in to the thoughts and secrets of some of the best in the game. Then open your heart and your mind to the idea that just as you want to develop players and create a fantastic team and organization, God wants to develop you into a major contributor on his team.
