Coach Don Meyer on ESPY Awards

Coach Don Meyer, of whom I’ve blogged in the past, is receiving the Jimmy V Award at the ESPY’s on ESPN this Sunday, July 19th.

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, Coach Meyer is a strong Christian and the son-in-law of one of our most faithful families here at Journey.

In honor of Coach Meyer’s award, I’m going to post some of the material he sent to me a few months back.  It was a folder full of motivational and training tools he uses with his teams.  I think most of this stuff can have a much broader application.

Coach Meyer’s Rules:

1. Plan the week on Sunday.

2. Plan the next day the night before.

3. Exercise.

4. Say no.

5. Take mini-vacations.

6. Keep a journal (not what you did but what you learned.)

Studio Go! Rocks!

Our church is doing Standard Publishing’s Studio Go! this week and it’s been an amazing success.

The kids love the music, the games, the decorations, the lessons, and . . . from what I can tell . . . everything else, as well.

I have so many great memories from Vacation Bible School.  I’m so grateful that Standard put together a VBS that will give this generation a chance to make their own wonderful memories.

Well, I hear the music starting again, so I better Go! Go! Go!  Studio Go!

Here’s a grainy picture I took this morning with my cell-phone:
