football winning league
Our goal was to win, to win a Super Bowl, but also to win in the right way, to be role models to our community, to represent Indianapolis, the state of Indiana and the National Football League.
football real winning
I love coaching football, and winning a Super Bowl was a goal I've had for a long time. But it has never been my purpose in life. My purpose in life is simply to glorify God. We have to be careful that we don't let the pursuit of our life's goals, no matter how important they seem, cause us to lose sight of our purpose. I coach football. But the good I can do to glorify God along the way is my real purpose.
football mean kids
You may not win the Super Bowl. Your kids may not go on to be doctors and lawyers and everything may not go perfectly. That doesn't mean it was a bad plan or the wrong thing. It's just like a football season. Everything's not going to go perfect.
sports player situation
I talk to our players about life and situations and doing the right thing all the time.
voice way subtle
I have yet to hear God's audible voice, although I have often felt led by God in more subtle ways.
football winning inspiring-football
Winning would create greater potential for change than talk alone.
dad children father
But there's no substitute for a full-time dad. Dads who are fully engaged with their kids overwhelmingly tend to produce children who believe in themselves and live full lives.
impact
You can have an impact anywhere you are.
want hearing trouble
If we have trouble hearing Him, He will faithfully work in our lives until we are pointed in the direction He wants us to go.
believe numbers lists
We have a number of difficulties facing our nation, but I believe fatherlessness is right at the top of the list.
no-excuses excuse explanation
No excuses. No explanations.
football winning games
When it's over, it's over is part of football's greatest appeal to me. When a game ends, win or lose, it's time to prepare for the next one.
thinking want circus
Sometimes I think God wants there to be a circus so we can show there's another way to respond.
player discipline able
There are weaknesses that you have to understand and it takes a lot of discipline for the players to be able to play it effectively and have confidence in what they're doing.
