More than ever in the history of the great game of football, we need coaches who will stand for the truth. The game of football is under attack in this country, not only the game itself, but also the young men who suit up and play the game.It's time for coaches to stand up and develop the whole of the people who play this game, because they will be the future leaders of our homes and our country. We need tough ethical hard nosed leaders in this country. In the game of football, we have to study the playbook, we have to carry out the plan on the field and we must Sustain the Pace (STP) to ultimately win the game.It's the same in the game of life, we must study the master playbook (The Bible) and live it out in our daily lives. In short, and as on the field, Sustain the Pace.Whole Person Development is broken into the same segments we prepare for as we approach game time. Warmups, Coin Toss, 1st Quarter, 2nd Quarter, Halftime, 3rd Quarter, 4th quarter, and the post game analysis. As the old coaching cliche' goes, "We've got to play a full four quarter game to be successful." An organized coach provides a game day itinerary. Approach these pages in the same way. Start fast, be consistent, and close at the end. Sustain the Pace (STP) to ultimately win the game.The Whole Person Development Itinerary: Warm-ups - Preparing for kickoffThe Coin Toss - Knowing how to start the game1st Quarter - The Spiritual person/player2nd Quarter - The Social person/player Halftime - Making the adjustments and preparing to win3rd Quarter - The Academic person/player4th Quarter - The Athletic person/playerPost-Game Analysis In Whole Person Development there are four quarters to coach and play. The quarters are spiritual, social, academic and athletic. Our job as coaches is to help our players strive to play all four quarters, and do so until the final whistle blows. Billy Graham once said: "A coach will impact more people in one year than the average person will in an entire lifetime." Coach, are you making a daily positive impact on your players? Make no mistake about it, you are influencing them one way or the other. You are either helping them play all four quarters, or you're allowing them to come up short. We've got to look ourselves in the mirror and ask: "Am I coaching it that way, or am I allowing it to happen that way?"
