4TH QUARTER

4TH QUARTER!

Time to put the game away.

For some teams, the meaning of putting up "4" with your hand has become common place.

When this started, it was from teams who were telling their opponents, "THIS is our time! We own the 4th quarter!"

I remember, as I was growing up, that our coaches would condition us HARD.  Their reasoning, they wanted us strong for the 4TH QUARTER.

THERE.IS.NO.SUBSTITUTE.FOR.PREPARATION.IN.THE.FOURTH.QUARTER!

Many of you know that I run long distances.  Having a long mile training run is similar to the sprints we would do in conditioning in high school football.  It's all about preparing for the end of the contest.  Do you know how to push through to the end?

I'll say it again: THERE.IS.NO.SUBSTITUTE.FOR.PREPARATION.IN.THE.FOURTH.QUARTER!

Do you know that is the same for LIFE?

You might be in that 4TH QUARTER of life.  

Are you pushing?  

Are you righting through?

Don't quit!

Don't give up!

There is plenty of "GAME" left for you. 

Be encouraged to FIGHT THROUGH THE 4TH QUARTER OF LIFE!

FINISH STRONG!
