What difference does this idea that God is one and exists as three persons make for sports? In this post, I want to share just one implication for coaches, players, and fans.
Implication #1: Because the three persons of the Trinity are distinct from one another, I think the individual players on a team are different from one another and should be assigned differing roles. This may be obvious, but each player is distinct from the others in skill, experience, physical attributes, personalities, backgrounds, strengths, weaknesses, etc. Maybe not so obvious, each plays a different role in accomplishing the unified goal of the team. Players might even relate differently toward one another, dependent upon their role. A captain of a team relates differently to his fellow teammates than a teammate relates to a captain. In other words, because members of a team are distinct from one another like the persons of the Trinity are distinct from one another, each member should have a distinct place and role on the team.
OK. That does make sense to me. But, now what? How might we practically coach differently?
