I’ll Win It For You

Written by Staci Stallings


The game was tight. Archrivals had faced off for three and a half periods in a seesaw battle that was going down torepparttar wire. Asrepparttar 123109 clock ticked down,repparttar 123110 two sides tradedrepparttar 123111 lead back and forth. Neither could be assured of victory because withrepparttar 123112 game so close, anything could happen.

Fromrepparttar 123113 sideline,repparttar 123114 coach watched his team getting more and more apprehensive asrepparttar 123115 seconds ticked away. They were missing shots they never missed. They were missing opportunities they didn’t miss. Even their body language said, “This is bad. We might lose this one.”

With less than a minute left,repparttar 123116 coach called a time out. Now he knew that every girl on that court had been overrepparttar 123117 plays a million times. They didn’t need elaborate help to set up a play for a last second win. They needed to calm down and playrepparttar 123118 way they knew how to play. So when they bent into that huddle,repparttar 123119 coach told them something more than a little unconventional. “Go out there. Playrepparttar 123120 game. Have fun. Do your best, and I’ll win it for you.”

No pressure instructions. No you have to win this or we lose to our rivals. No anxiety-inducing strategy. Simply, “Go play, and I’ll win it for you.”

To my way of thinking, that was an audacious statement because in reality, it wouldn’t berepparttar 123121 coach takingrepparttar 123122 shot that would win or loserepparttar 123123 game. He would be standing onrepparttar 123124 sideline with no direct control whatsoever. However, this coach knew something aboutrepparttar 123125 training these girls had been through, and he knew without a doubt they could do it. The problem was they didn’t know they could do it, and so, he let them rely not on themselves forrepparttar 123126 win but on him.
