Athletic Philosophy
The word philosophy can be simply defined as
"a system of values and beliefs that
guides one's every action." Being a true winner is not an accident. To be
a winner in sports you must have a game plan. This plan takes discipline,
temperance, self-control, dedication, and practice. The apostle Paul
challenged believers to run life's race to win. (1 Cor. 9:24-27). However, we
need to consider what others will remember about us most - games or godliness.
While it is true that we should never place games ahead of godliness, we must also never forget that a
shoddy performance in any endeavor does not give others a good opinion of God.
It is a sin to do less than our best. Our philosophy at Bethel Christian Academy
is to use sports to teach students to give their utmost for His highest in
sports and in everything we do.
