Pride

The Gospel In The Game

Join us as we kick off with a spirited discussion about pride. Conversation on the dual nature of pride—how it can lead to arrogance and stubbornness or serve as a source of personal and societal achievement. Our reflections on the biblical saying "pride comes before the fall" provide a deeper understanding of its implications for everyday life.

In our next segment, we shift focus to the world of coaching and mentorship. We delve into the crucial role of humility, discussing how personal pride can often hinder genuine efforts to help others. Through modern coaching methods and personal anecdotes, we stress the importance of explaining the "why" behind feedback and highlight the significance of being coachable. Humility emerges as a powerful tool for personal growth and effective leadership, backed by scriptural references that underscore its importance.
Finally, we explore how character and humility play pivotal roles in sports leadership. Through examples of professional athletes like Connor McDavid and Shane Doan, we illustrate the impact of selflessness and a team-first attitude. Personal stories about interactions with players like Pat LaFontaine highlight how genuine interest in others can leave a lasting mark. We wrap up with a discussion on the erosion of character due to pride, particularly in sports and how humbling experiences remind us of the importance of humility and gratitude. Tune in for an enriching discussion on how pride and humility shape our lives and leadership styles.
