Serving

True Champions Know That Success Takes Sacrifice

By: Fellowship of Christian Athletes

Where does serving fit in the world of competitive sports? Team sports and even individual sports require others to help. This is serving as it has been worked out through repetitive drills that no one but God and an athlete sees, through tough decisions in the heat of the final minutes of the game, through the crucible of the highly competitive sports world where being a servant makes you a good teammate, a competitive player and a model of Christ. Serving is a unique devotional that provides meaningful readings to help athletes and coaches understand how to have the attitude and heart of a servant, to think of others before themselves, even in the heat of competition. Learn from those who have found what true winners know. When they have served others, win or lose, they are modeling the very heart of Christ.

Integrity

True Champions Know What It Takes To Live A Victorious Life

By: Fellowship of Christian Athletes

In the competitive world of sports, there is an ever present temptation not to be a man or woman of integrity. After all, who will know? Were you in bounds, did you foul, was it a false start, does it really matter if your athlete uses steroids? The value God places on honesty and authenticity is essential for true winners. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes identifies integrity as a value that is essential in all walks of life, whether on the field, in the classroom or in the business world. Learn how to demonstrate Christlikeness privately and publicly with Integrity. Comprised of a Bible verse, a story, a principle, an application and a prayer, these inspirational readings foster the core value of integrity. Topics covered include: integrity in the face of defeat, when the other team cheats, when it’s difficult, when no one is looking, when you're on the bench and when you score the winning run.

Teamwork

True Champions Know the Team is Stronger Than the Individual

By: Fellowship of Christian Athletes

If there's a recurrent theme that runs through any team sport, it's fairly obvious that it's likely to have something to do with teamwork. But strangely, there seems to be an epidemic in the modern world of sports that breeds personal agendas, selfish attitudes and win-at-all-cost mentalities. The Teamwork devotional offers a very different way of looking at teamwork, one that advocates dependence, empowering and equipping, working, celebrating and hurting together, as well as appreciating each individual's giftedness. In these meaningful readings, coaches and athletes will discover how a band of brothers are even stronger when they become a band of believers, how to spot the enemies of team unity and how to build an amazing team. Learn from those who have found a higher plane of play when there is unity within the team.

Daily Devotions for Peak Performance

It goes straight to the issues that matter most to athletes, such as identity, fear, trust, and recognition.

The Greatest Coach Ever (The Heart of a Coach Series)

Timeless Wisdom and Insights of John Wooden

By: Fellowship of Christian Athletes

Coach John Wooden's teams won 10 NCAA mens basketball championships at UCLA and Sporting News magazine named him the greatest coach of all time. Yet decades after he retired and now after his passing, his wisdom, capsulated so clearly in his famous Pyramid of Success, continues to guide new generations of athletes, coaches, and people of all walks of life. In The Greatest Coach Ever, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes features forty tributes from athletes, coaches, and other influential leaders like Bobby Bowden, Tom Osborne, Sue Semrau, Tony Dungy, Mike Singletary, Tamika Catchings, Joe Girardi, Jim Tressel, and David Robinson, paying honor to Coach Wooden and reflecting on how his example has challenged and changed them. Their stories can challenge and change your life, too. Coach Wooden appreciated the tributes and the honor of being called the greatest coach ever, but felt uncomfortable with the title. He was eager to see that this book points to the one whom he calls the greatest coach ever. "I am happy being remembered as a man of integrity. I like that"--John Wooden, May 21 2010

Charlie Ward

Winning by His Grace

By: Charlie Ward,Joe Cooney

Americans have always possessed a fanatical fascination and adulation for those athletes talented and blessed enough to make it in the world of professional sports. And most of these 'star' ballplayers revel in the limelight and relish playing the role of 'celebrity'. In Charlie Ward's case, however, one finds an enigma of the sports world. The former Florida State University football star, Heisman Trophy winner, and now a professional basketball player in his third year with the New York Knicks is the opposite of everything that is associated today with what it means to be a celebrity. In a world known more for loud 'trash talk' and egotistical boasting, 27-year old Charlie Ward stands out with his reserved, unassuming nature and lifestyle. He is a quiet man -- a man at peace, maintaining a lifestyle that is based on high ethical standards, integrity and character. The combination of these virtues and his firm belief in God have created in him a strong and focused disposition. There is nothing 'in your face' about Charlie Ward. He is not a flashy star, and he doesn't seek the spotlight. But he does eagerly accept the responsibility of a role model... which makes him unique and special.
