Book Cover & Preview Text
As coaches and parents of athletes we gain peace, joy and confidence when we allow ourselves to align with spirit as we support our children in their athletic endeavors. And when we gain inner peace and confidence in this way we quietly give ourselves permission to love our opponents.
Love them so much that you’ll out work them in practice and show them something amazing in the game. Make it your mission to bring unmatched energy, skill and drive to each and every contest. After all, it is the highest form of respect you can show your opponent, the universe and the game.
When we coach, parent or play from a place of true spirit we put ourselves in a special light to serve the most important roles. When we win we will find it so much more natural to offer encouragement to the team that just lost, and when we lose our congratulations will be heartfelt and we will feel gratitude for the experience to learn and improve.
Spirituality in our youth sports is most evident in that it’s an ultimate community incorporation of our brothers and sisters. Our best nature elevates their nature, and together we become and experience an extraordinary divine energy which would be impossible to do alone.
The divine energy is in everyone. We harness and tap into it when our actions come from a place of love as opposed to fear. What kind of energy are you bringing to your team as a coach? What kind of energy are you bringing to your child’s athletic experience as a parent?
When we embrace sport and competition in a spiritual way we are operating from the highest place. We are in touch with our divine nature, and we are doing all we can to be like God.
