Alvarado's Advice

We lift ourselves by our thought, we climb upon our vision of ourselves. If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and of yourself. Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, always, everywhere - your ideal of what you long to attain - the ideal of health,efficiency, success. -Orison Swett Marden

Brotherly Love

The competitive juices were flowing even after the workout. This Jav A Blog exclusive story will be news to all the players as well. After the team left Junior Tivao challenged his brother Johnny Tivao to the same curl competition that the other players performed. Johnny ended up edging out his brother Junior for the victory.

Compete

Robert Armstrong vs Mardrick Johnson

Larod Roberson vs Marquis Singleton

This afternoon the team worked out in the weight room and at the end of the workout we had a curl competition. Coach Atterberry called out two players from the 3pm and 4pm workout groups to compete against each other. The two competitors had to perform a curl on Coach Atterberry's whistle, Mardrick Johnson was the 3pm winner and Larod Roberson was the 4pm winner. The whole weight room was fired up and cheering for the two great competitions and that's what it's all about, Compete Everyday!

Doctor's Day Car Wash

Some of the players were helping out with the Doctor's Day Car Wash community service event associated with the Christus Spohn Hospital.

Alvarado's Advice

How do athletes prepare themselves? They train, eat right, rest and then do it all over again. They must constantly watch what they do with their bodies, what they take in to them, how they work them and how often they rest them. That preparation makes a huge difference in how they compete.


Staying hydrated is a perfect example. Athletes know that without proper amounts of water or sports drinks, they will not be able to compete at their highest level. It’s the same with training.

If an athlete’s body is not fit for competition, chances are, he or she isn’t going to compete as well as if they had trained harder.

As Christians, we need to do the same. We need to constantly be on our feet, train to work against the opponent, stay hydrated with the Word, and watch what we take in (i.e. inappropriate movies or music). If we do not prepare ourselves, we will be vulnerable when the opponent attacks.

We can’t just say we’re going to go out and be strong enough to face Satan. It doesn’t work that way. If we go out without training and nourishment, we’re going to be very tired and spent. However, if we have prepared and are willing to rely on our awesome God to give us the strength to compete against Satan, we will come out on top.

I want to challenge you today, as your sister in Christ, to be ready when the opponent decides to strike. Train hard!
