Coach Tommy can speak first-hand about the dark shadows of sports, especially professionally. He, himself a talented athlete, spent many years praising himself and feeding his flesh. The Lord so graciously refused to let the world have him and rescued him from his sin in a tremendously dramatic, yet necessary way. Tommy now spends his time pouring into young men around him, helping them navigate this tricky culture with Christ.

FUCKING YIKES!

A school sent that out? What the fuck?

I say that successful athletes get a pass all the time. People still praise Kobe despite being a rapist.
