We often can't see what God is doing in our lives, but God sees the whole picture and His plan for us clearly.

What you do is not as important as how you do it.

I do not think being a coordinator is a requirement, but it does give you some advantages. You get used to working with half the team and you go through the game-planning and decision-making processes.

There are weaknesses that you have to understand and it takes a lot of discipline for the players to be able to play it effectively and have confidence in what they're doing.

Be successful not just in what you do, but in who you are.
