Team Camp Dates
Coaches,
My name is Sean Schaefer and I am overseeing the DistinXion Team Development Camps for 2018.
I am reaching out today to inform you that registration for DistinXion Team Development Camps is now available! The DistinXion Team Development Camp Xperience is not your typical team camp. Our camp focuses on the fundamental development of both the individual and the team.
I have linked to the Team Development Camp Flyer below. I have also linked to a PDF file of our Registration Form.
As a reminder, both your Varsity and Junior Varsity teams will be attending camp for free. You also have the opportunity to run your own concessions if you wish.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me or daltonjudd@distinxion.org. From everybody at DistinXion, we thank you for taking on the role of hosting our camp. The use of your facilities is crucial to the enactment of our camps. We appreciate your help!

“A man who endures trials is blessed, because when he passes the test he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.” - James 1:12Don’t give up no matter the situation. God often hinders us to allow his light to shine in those circumstances, while refining our character in the process. Our faith only grows when we are tested by trials.
Question 1
How can you notice God working behind the scenes of your life to help refine your character?
Question 2
Have you ever gone through trials in your life? If you gave God control over those trials did you recognize your character develop?

Message from Coach Thompson
We Don’t Know What God has in Store
I want preface this quick congratulatory piece by telling you I don’t know the entire Scott McClelland story, but I do know he is one heck of a coach and an even better person. After guiding his team to a 77-70 victory over Barr Reeve this past weekend he will lead the Morristown Yellowjackets to the State Finals this Saturday. This run is more than well-deserved for this basketball loving community and especially for Coach McClelland.
I was an assistant coach in 2005 when the Loogootee Lions won the Seymour Semi-State. We won that game on a last second tip-in to beat a very good Hauser team that would go on to win the state title the following season. A huge help in the scouting process was Coach McClelland and his assistant Beau Scott. Barney Scott, Beau’s grandfather, is a hall-of-famer and his name is stamped on the gymnasium at Seymour. Beau was one of my college roommates and we talked to him and Coach McClelland several times throughout the week about the Jets. When the dust had settled from the game, Coach McClelland and Beau were down the in tunnel to congratulate our coaching staff. I’ll never forget that. They were selfless and very happy for our team.
Coach McClelland went on to stops at Brebeuf and Western Boone before ultimately landing back at Morristown. Coach has had quite a journey and this team and this run to the state finals are well deserved. I cannot express how happy I am for him, his staff, and his players. Good luck Coach and congratulations on your success to this point. Get one more.

READY
Do not despise the Lord’s instruction, my son, and do not loathe His discipline; for the LORD disciplines the one He loves, just as a father, the son he delights in. — Proverbs 3:11–12
SET
Discipline is the responsibility of a coach to his team. A well-disciplined team is more than likely to be a successful team. However, the way in which a coach disciplines is crucially important. Hall of Fame basketball coach John Wooden knew discipline was vital, but he also knew there is a fine line between discipline and punishment.
Jay Carty, coauthor with John Wooden of the book, One-On-One, wrote, “Punishment is for the punisher’s benefit, to make him or her feel better. Discipline always has the other person’s best interest in mind.” No one likes to be disciplined, but if done correctly it can be a positive learning experience. In today’s world, athletes face numerous choices and a well-grounded coach can help them make these decisions easier.
Sports can teach us a lot about life. Just as we receive discipline from coaches in sports, we receive discipline from God in all matters of life. God calls us to exercise wisdom, but we often choose unwisely. When that happens, we can accept the Lord’s discipline as that of a loving Father, learn from it, and not rebuke it. The Lord disciplines us as a father disciplines his son, or a coach disciplines her players. The Lord will use our difficult circumstances to make us better, and, therefore, we can thank Him for His discipline and count it a heavenly blessing.
GO
1. Are you exercising discipline with your athletes’ welfare in mind?
2. Is your method of discipline designed more as a learning experience or as a punishment?
3. Are you accepting God’s discipline and learning from it, or are you resenting and rebuking it?

WORKOUT
Lord, thank You for Your blessing of discipline. I pray that I may be a patient and learned servant. Help me to learn from my mistakes and to be a better Christian, bringing glory to Your name. Help me as a coach to use discipline in a way that benefits each and every one of my athletes. Lord, I give thanks for Your goodness and mercy. Amen.
