A Word from DistinXion
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!

“Wait for the Lord; be courageous and let your heart be strong. Wait for the Lord.” - Psalm 27:14Great things take time. If you want to build and develop your character through the Lord you must be patient.
Question 1
Are you impatient with your athletic development? Give an example of how you are impatient
if so.
if so.
Question 2
Do you think it could be helpful if you slowed down and trusted that things would unfold in God’s time? (“Slow is smooth and smooth is fast”)

Message from Coach Thompson
Giving Back
Coaches have a gift and are tremendous teachers. The coaches in the HBCA, and specifically the officers and team members who were there working at the all-star game on Sunday, are true leaders who’s example of servant leadership is truly what coaching is all about. Romans 12:6-8 tells us that, “Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.”
All of the coaches and HBCA team members who worked Sunday’s game know that it is a true labor of love. This game simply doesn’t just come together. There are tons of behind the scenes hours spent planning, organizing, etc. This year’s event was one of our best events. The banquet, the Hall of Excellence inductions and speaker were tremendous, and it all led up to two of the best/most competitive all-star games we have had in years. Here’s to another year in the books and let’s do all we can as an association to make 2019 an even better year for the HBCA.

The Power of Fear
READY
“Did you eat from the tree that I had commanded you not to eat from? Then the man replied, “The woman You gave to be with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate.” So the LORD God asked the woman, “What is this you have done?”— Genesis 3:11–13
SET
As an English teacher, I instruct my students to look for symbols in literature. As a basketball coach, I often use symbols from literature to teach my players, such as in Genesis 3:11 where God asks Adam and Eve if they have eaten the forbidden fruit. Instead of telling the truth and asking for forgiveness, Adam blamed both God and Eve. When God asked Eve the same question, she blamed the snake. Since then, mankind has been pointing fingers and playing the blame game.
Adam and Eve refused to take responsibility for their sin and placed the blame on someone else. They were not working as a team. The same holds true for athletics. When a team plays poorly, frustration often sets in.Instead of each player looking at what he can do to improve the situation, he looks for someone to blame. At that point, the team begins to break down.
Unfortunately, many players learn this behavior from how their coaches interact with officials. Anyone who has been around athletics for any length of time has heard coaches complaining about the referees and blaming them for a loss. Coaches have to remember that their players watch what they say and do.
Instead of falling into the destructive blame game, coaches and players need to slow down and look within themselves to ensure they are not the ones at fault. After all, it was Adam’s fault that Eve ate the forbidden fruit. God had specifically instructed him that it was forbidden, and as the captain of the team, it was Adam’s responsibility to make sure the rest of the team understood.

1. How should a coach handle a situation where teammates are blaming one another for mistakes or bad plays?
2. How does humility play a part in this situation?
