2023 Spring Coaches Clinic
M-Pact Coaches and Assistants are all very excited to begin this year of baseball. This month we have been hard at work behind the scenes getting everything taken care of for our community so we are set up for success in 2023!
What is Full Effort?
The term "give your full effort" is common in sports. When you tell a group of 8-year-olds in practice they need to give you more effort, do they really understand what that means?
We as parents all want our kids to give more effort whether that be at home, sports, schoolwork, or just having a conversation, if you have teenagers!
Sometimes we tend to confuse effort with just running harder or working longer.
We don’t fully understand that to put forth our BEST effort, is to do so both physically and emotionally. James 2 helps us to see this.
James 2:14-17
14 What good is it, my brothers, and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
Our faith is about giving full effort. Faith alone is not enough. Deeds or working hard is not enough either. James tells us here that we must take action in ALL we do and go the extra mile physically and with our faith in what God has planned for us.
We have the saying in M-Pact Baseball, Own the Now. This means being in the moment and fully focused on that moment. Being fully invested in the moment and what is needed to help others in that moment, Owing the now!
God doesn’t call us to be ordinary, he calls us to be EXTRAordinary! Giving the best of ourselves in ALL we do, for God’s glory!
“There are no crowds lining the extra mile”
