Winning takes care of itself With the increased emphasis on the role of athletics in the college experience, naturally there might be concern about too much a focus on winning. And win they have. But success is more than just winning games. It's serving the whole person. It's excellence in giving your all.
Success means coming off a practice or a game absolutely exhausted.
It means challenging a teammate in a way that makes him or her a better person, doing everything for the glory of God, and holding each other accountable. Each team has a spiritual emphasis, and each coach has his or her own way of going about it. Last year Johnson's football team beat St. John's University of Collegeville, Minn., a perennial football powerhouse, for the first time. The team was knocked out of the playoffs. It was a heartbreak, but the team fought its way through it.
