One of the things to watch for is how well the individuals and teams have been preparing for this weekend. How did they spend their off-season, how well did they train, what did they learn from practicing and the pre-season games?
Our lives are like that sometimes - we have chances to train (develop) and sometimes "practice" before we start the season of our life (when we are out on our own). But, just like football training, we need to make sure we are developing each dimension of our life in a balanced way. Imagine an offensive lineman who only trained on developing his upper body, neglecting his lower body - when it came to having to use his legs to drive a defensive lineman back on a run play, he wouldn't be adequately equipped to perform as needed. In life, unless we train those areas of our life (Emotional, Intellectual, Physical and Spiritual) in a balanced way, we too will not be able to perform as needed. At Coach Kraemer, we offer a structured approach to equip you with a plan to train in those areas which aren't as well developed.
The other thing to watch for is how well a backup player performs if a starter gets injured. Are they able to step up and perform at the level necessary to win? You will see the position coach giving real time coaching to that player, making adjustments as necessary, giving them some "game-time" coaching. Sometimes in life, we are thrown into the "game" before we are ready, and we need some real time coaching. At Coach Kraemer we are here to assist you during those times when you feel inadequate to perform in the game of life. We will come along side you and coach and train to equip you as needed.
So as another season of football gets underway, let's also consider in what areas we need training in for this season of our lives.
