In today’s world, almost every single issue we deal with is a character issue-bad or good. We hire people because of their skills and then fire them for lack of character. The same can be said of sports. Pure talent is not enough to succeed because skill without character just develops mediocrity. Integrating character and skill develops excellence.

At the banquet, a very impressed parent stood up and said to the coaching staff, “we gave you 48 boys and you returned 48 young men.” The coaches realized that they in fact had transformed lives through sports. This coach and his staff realized the significance of coaching the “Inside Stuff.
