Sport

As a teenager, i really got into sport. I played a lot, and watched a lot. So what? Millions of kids would have done the same (except maybe without the very late nights watching Australia play cricket in England).

But after a few thousand hours of viewing, practicing after school, and many hours fielding on a cricket boundary - you start to think more deeply about the game.

Consequently, the attitude, the psychology, the enthusiasm and the teamwork of sport kind of became my philosophy during those years. That's when i started saying "it's a lot like sport".

Since those days i have become more interested in Jesus, and (no offence to Richie Benaud) but i'm finding that Jesus is even wiser :)

And i reckon the things i enjoy most about sport are the things that reflect Jesus. When immense talent comes with humility. When passion inspires great achievement. When selfishness is put aside for the greater good. When excellence is possible.

This is what is great about sport. I hope you share my joy.
