A lot of what is needed to succeed in sports, or really anything, is perspective. When you realize what you have and what you are doing means ... really means, in the grand scheme of things ... then performance becomes more natural and less of a chore.
"Having to" is a much different feeling than "having an opportunity."
And when you, or some one you care about, gets a whole new lease on life, well, things get put in perspective in literally a heartbeat.

How do you think our efforts might be affected if we lived and played in light of all our blessings ... both here and in eternity? Let that soak in. And live thankfully and purposefully today.
See you on the field ...
