Tough-minded discipline

Pr. 22:15 [The Message]

Young people are prone to foolishness and fads;
    the cure comes through tough-minded discipline.

Kenny Dallas, the football coach at Trinity Christian School, is tough minded. He demands tough work-outs of his players. They are usually better conditioned than their opponents. This conditioning shows up in the later portions of the game. Less-conditioned teams may have very talented athletes, but the Trinity boys are in tip-top shape. When others are bone-tired, Trinity’s boys still have pep in their tanks.

The most redeeming thing is that these young men are learning about hard work and experiencing the fruitful results it brings. These are valuable lessons in life they are learning that will mold them into excellent husbands, fathers, bosses and workers.
