If you are worshipping false gods—such as football, baseball, gold, tennis, or money or technology or automobiles or houses or gold or silver—and you can tell what a man worships by what he does on Sunday—repent and start worshipping the true and living God, the maker of heaven and earth and all things that in them are.

I feel that the progress I have made as a coach, as well as a person, is a direct result of the growth that I have made through my Church callings.
