This Leader Is a Great Follower

Sharing The Victory, the monthly magazine of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, has a great read on Washington State head coach Tony Bennett. Bennett is genuine about his faith in Christ and is salt and light on his campus and in his profession. The great leaders have to first be great followers. Bennett is following Christ closely.

Athletes Continuing Drug Use

Eric Crawford of the Louisville's Courier-Journal had some interesting thoughts on drug use by college athletes. College coaches have varying views on discipline for drug offenses. One of Crawford's suggestions is to make universal legislation across Division I sports for drug offenders.

With coaches feeling the pressure to win, some are very lenient, not wanting to upset hungry fan bases. By taking the discipline out of the coaches hands, at least all teams will be on a level playing field.

Just a thought. Change needs to come soon in some fashion.

Tim Tebow: Strong in His Convictions

His Christian convictions wouldn't allow him to support such a magazine. Another link to Chris Low's blog at ESPN gives you more insight on the reigning Heisman Trophy winner.
