The greatest teacher of good decisions is the Bible, as far as how we live. We all want the lessons athletics teach, and team prayer is a great part of that. I think prayer is crucial to our society. Jay Jacobson, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, said people do not have to be religious to have good values, and children can be taught good values without the use of religion.
Some people find guidance in religion, others in literature . . .
You don't steal, you don't cheat, you deal honestly with people, you don't harm people. The reality is every human being feels these. Jacobson said the best way for coaches to serve as role models is to lead by example. I was heavily influenced by my coaches. They were good role models.
