\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Billy Graham once said, \u201cA coach will impact more people in one year than the average person will in an entire lifetime.” \u00a0If this statement is true, and I believe it is, then it is important to understand what the role, duty, and expectation of a coach is.<\/p>\n<p>Long-time readers of this site know I participate in a weekly Zoom Bible study with approximately 70 high school, college, and professional baseball scouts and coaches. \u00a0This past week Chicago White Sox scout <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KDB_MLB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Kevin Burrell<\/a>\u00a0taught a lesson on the subject of baptism. \u00a0Kevin pointed out that baptism is an outward sign you are playing for a new team (Christianity) and have a new coach (Jesus Christ).<\/p>\n<p>To connect the dots for this very unique audience, he asked, “What is the role, duty, and expectation of a coach.” \u00a0The following are the answers from some of the top scouts and coaches in baseball:<\/p>\n<h2>A Coach Is A Model<\/h2>\n<p>Lee Seras, Scouting Supervisor for the Cincinnati Reds said, “Become a model and a leader.”<\/p>\n<h2>A Coach Trains And Develops Players<\/h2>\n<p>Luke Wrenn, retired scout from the Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox, and Arizona Diamondbacks, said, “To develop the players to be the best that they can be.”<\/p>\n<h2>A Coach Imparts Knowledge<\/h2>\n<p>Wrenn added that a coach is “to be an example to them and to impart knowledge.”<\/p>\n<h2>A Coach Meets You Where You Are At<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KWBaseball\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Kevin Wilson<\/a>, one of the most sought after hitting consultants in the game and is currently working with Minor and Major League players from 20 different MLB organizations,\u00a0said, “Meet them where they’re at.”<\/p>\n<h2>A Coach Creates A Path For You And Guides You In It<\/h2>\n<p>Kevin added that a coach will “guide them in a path you want them to go in.”<\/p>\n<h2>A Coach Is A Mentor<\/h2>\n<p>Rich Sparks, scout for the Oakland A’s, said, “Be a mentor.”<\/p>\n<h2>A Coach Teaches You To Take Responsibility<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/scoreintl.org\/people\/robinson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Rick Robinson<\/a>, former college baseball coach for over 20 years and currently a missionary with <a href=\"https:\/\/scoreintl.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">SCORE International<\/a> said, “Teach them to take responsibility.”<\/p>\n<h2>A Coach Teaches You To Operate Within The Context Of A Team<\/h2>\n<p>Rick concluded by saying a coach also teaches you “how to participate and operate as a team player.”<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Kevin then summarized by tying these traits back to the Holy Spirit’s work in a person’s life after salvation. \u00a0He said,\u00a0“The message of baptism is I have a new coach and this new coach is going to help \u00a0 He’s going to model for me. \u00a0He’s going to help train me, \u00a0He’s going to help me reach my abilities as a new follower of Christ. \u00a0He’s going to mentor me. \u00a0All the above. \u00a0He’s going to care for me. \u00a0He’s going to discipline me… That new coach is the Holy Spirit that abides within you and he’s going to walk with you and he’s going to talk with you, and he’s going to train you, and he’s going to teach you, and he’s going to lead you every day.”<\/p>\n<p>If you are a high school, college, or professional
