Mark's Message
Another
basketball season has come to an end.
If you are a UNC fan, you are glad about that (I know I shouldn’t
have said that). However, for me, it’s kind of sad.
We had so much fun this year with all of our teams.
It’s fun to see the teams come together as one.
Some of the guys didn’t know each other, but it’s fun to see the
friendships develop. It’s fun to see them build a bond and a trust for one
another and their coach. It’s
fun to see them improve individually and as a team.
It’s fun to hear a player say “hey coach, I’ve been working on my
game like you said to”. It’s fun to see the excitement when we win the close
games. It’s fun to see them respond positively to adversity and tough
defeats. Of course it’s always
fun when we win. It was fun to
see them experience new things, such as watching a UNC practice, or winning
their division and advancing to the
state tournament.
Don’t
get me wrong, it was an extremely busy time coaching or helping coach 5
teams this year, which is the most we have ever done at one time.
There were definitely some long days.
It is worth it though when you see several of the guys from those
teams pray to receive Christ.
It’s worth it when you hear those guys share their testimony how they got
saved (two of the guys wrote them down for this newsletter).
It’s worth it when you have some of them come to you and say “I want
to go on those mission trips with you this summer.”
To
have a player want to get better at basketball is one thing, but the things
mentioned in the previous paragraph is what really makes it more than fun.
It makes it very fulfilling. This is why we do what we do.
It’s eternal work. It is
our prayer that they will not only want to get better at basketball, but
they would want to grow in their relationship with God.
The thrills, fun and excitement of basketball will end one-day, but
their relationship with God is something that will last forever.
~Mark
