Crawford County, Robinson, Illinois | My theory is that God gives us pain to prevent us from hurting ourselves further than we already have from whatever reason. I understand the message, and partly agree, often people give up too quickly. But, there is a time to give up, sports "experts" do us a wrong in insisting on playing through extreme pain. I have coached, quit all respect for sports when the head coach was so insist ant on winning he would have young boys continue to play with real injuries. I usually agree with your "coach" stories, but this one is a little too extreme. I used to love sports, watched and played a lot. I have now almost no interests in any game played with a ball, as it has progressed to extremes in money as well as health of the players. I have, however, loved the last two super bowls! The mental part of a game is very intriguing to me. |
