Building Community

· Relax and enjoy the simple joy of communion with the people of sport – There are few joys greater in my life that spending time with coaches and athletes, especially those who love Christ as I do. It’s fun. Relax and just enjoy it. Charles Lynn says, “Let the Lord pay you. He pays in ways better than money.” Take time at several points during a season and reflect on how many people would pay any price to be where you are and to be with these people. Yours is a highly privileged position, don’t take it lightly. Enjoy every minute of it.

· Attend a church service together. Al Miller of Jamaica occasionally arranges for members of his teams to attend church together. It provides a shared experience in a fresh setting which helps teammates to further bond their relationships.
