At a time when today's society needs more positive role models for their student/athletes, Ondra Waddy sets a shining example. Through his passion for the game, an uncompromising faith, and a love for teaching, he galvanizes the next generation of athletes to maximize their God-given talents--on and off the court.
In Pastor Coach, he shares his remarkable life story of how Jesus Christ transformed his life at an early age, gave him purpose, and later called him into the ministry and the coaching profession. This book is about how one man's Christian faith, his devoted wife, and his life-changing calling intertwine to bring about God's winning game plan.
His incredible journey includes many wonderful testimonies, witnesses, and encounters with people whom God purposely placed in his path--many of whom were young players searching for direction and a sense of purpose. Through reading Pastor Coach, you will learn many effective strategies of servant-leadership, character building, and intentional mentorship while applying God's principles. Whether you are a coach, athletic director, educator, business leader, professor, pastor, or mentor, you will enjoy this work.
Nike, one of the largest sportswear manufacturing brands in the world, has a marketing slogan: "Just do it!" As you journey through this book, his prayer is that you will be compelled to accept your individual call, obey His Word, and "Just do it!" when it comes to God's will.
