During my early days in running, I got the privilege of
training with Team Baldrunner and its elite team of coaches at the ULTRA. It
was when more and more people are getting serious into running not only for
physical fitness but also as a sport. Running clinics and group trainings was a
common event then. Other runners would even have their own personal coaches to
further improve their performances in running. A coach plays an important role
in an athlete’s quest of being the best in their chosen sport. A coach guides its
athlete in every step of the way, teaching them the basics to a more advanced techniques. He designed training schedules that would bring his athlete to
his/her peak condition on game time. He even asked his athlete to do drills
that sometimes seemed irrelevant to the sport but later would proved to be
beneficial for the athlete. A coach can only be able to do these things because
he himself had done it. He had been through all these and had become
victorious. All these things we follow
because we believe that our coach knows what he is doing. Others even followed
without asking the rationale behind doing those drills during training. All these we
do because we have full trust and confidence to our coaches.
In the race called life, we can also have one true coach and
his name is Jesus. Jesus had live among us. He experienced what we are
experiencing right now. Jesus had been showing us the way to be victorious in
every trial or problems we have in life but have we listened to Him? Have we
put our full trust and confidence in Him that we fully obey Him and be
victorious in every trials and difficulties we have in this world? Or you have yourself or others to follow? Why don’t
you try Jesus. He can be your life’s coach! God bless us all!
