jesus men courageous-man
Of course, Jesus was the most courageous man who ever lived. He prayed and asked God to take the cup from Him before He went to the cross, but He still went because He knew that's what He was supposed to do.
games work-out let-it-go
The 2006 playoffs were such a rollercoaster for me. I was able to lean on God and know that no matter what things were going to work out the way they were meant to work out. I had that trust that allowed me to go into the games without fear. When I prayed before games, I was able to just let it go. When I played in game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals, I prayed more that day than I have my whole life. That was a day that I leaned on the Lord a lot. It helped me to face some of my fears.
prayer thinking games
First and foremost, prayer is so helpful. But I think that you need to face your fears head on. Don't avoid them or say that you're not scared. Acknowledge it and be honest about it. It's normal to get nervous about a big game or to get nervous about an important event in your life.
mistake athlete fighting
Everyone is going to be afraid sometimes. Then you ask yourself, "What am I really afraid of?" Then you can address it, because there's nothing to be afraid of. It helps a lot when you just face it and put it in perspective. It gives you that courage to fight through it. As an athlete, you can't be afraid to make a mistake.
sports thinking people
Courageous people are not afraid to fail. So often in life and in sports, we're afraid to fail. Instead, we should attack things with excitement and enthusiasm and think about the positives as opposed to the negatives.
christian team games
Christian guys had a reputation for being soft or not being tough enough to play the game. But every chapel we've had, our team fighter has been in there. Stu Grimson is very outspoken. Dan Bylsma, the head coach at Pittsburgh, was one guy that really helped me a lot.
dream dad athlete
My dad was so influential in my career. It was a fulfillment of every athlete's dream. I dreamed about it as a kid. We played hockey in the backyard. We had silver buckets we carried around like the Stanley Cup. It was everything that you would hope.
job
It's no big deal. It's their job to get it right, but it should be consistent.
community created difficult downtown impact might overstate projects retail taken tons
It's difficult to overstate the impact this has had on the community. We've taken on tons of projects in downtown that might not have been done otherwise. It's created a big spin-off of retail activities.

This is a beautiful river. It's at the top of the list of the amenities Detroit has to offer. It can be a magnet for the middle class, and even the affluent.

It's a seven-game series and the best team is going to win it. They were better this time, and it was probably good for us. We have leadership and we have experience and we can, and will, bounce back.

We're going to work hard. The good part is when we do play well, we win most of the time. We're not a bad team or anything, we just played a bad game.
