You are intentionally training your child to think God-centered thoughts in real-time pressure. Not just theology at the table. But truth: in the batter’s box on the mound after an error after a strikeout 1. Teach Them What to Think, Not What to Feel The world says: “Manage your emotions” “Stay positive” “Feel confident” Scripture says: “Set your minds on things that are above.” (Colossians 3:2) The issue is not emotions. The issue is what governs the mind

Modern athletic culture constantly reinforces one message: You are enough. Trust yourself Believe in yourself Find your strength within And at first glance, this sounds harmless. But underneath that language is a completely different worldview. It teaches: Self-sufficiency Self-trust Self-glory

The goal is this: To raise young men and women whose minds are stayed on God. Because that is where peace is found. Not in winning. Not in success. Not in control. But in this: “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”
