GAMEDAY

About the Book

Gameday, 40 Devotional Messages for Spiritual Gameday Preparation can be used by coaches, team chaplains, and others who work with student athletes as a supplement to prepare your team for competition on Gameday. This book will provide you with devotional messages to prepare the spirit of the team, individually and collectively, for the day of competition to supplement all of the efforts that have been put in to prepare the team physically, mentally, and spiritually. This book will not guarantee victory, freedom from mistakes, mistakes by officials, or increasing the players/team’s statistics. I do believe, however, the words shared, based on God’s Word, will encourage players to overcome the adversity that they will face and help prepare them for maximum effort and efficiency as they compete on Gameday.
