DECISION MAKING A lancer athlete learns to make decisions by observing and interpreting information quickly. Lancer athletics providemany opportunities for athletes to exhibit decisive behavior. For example, a football quarterback typically has only a few seconds to decidewhere to throwa pass. Playing sports helps a person develop the skills and behavior necessary to succeed in a dynamic, global workplace. Additionally, by participating on a team, a player learns to develop strategies and work with his teammates to enable their victory.
Playing sports prepares a leader to influence others, set realistic goals and solve problems efficiently to win a competitive advantage. COMMUNICATION Leaders require excellent communication skills. Playing sports helps people develop the ability to work together effectively using techniques that apply in business situations, too. For example, a baseball pitcher and catcher communicate using a series of
”Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct,

signals. Finding a way to communicate efficiently in any situation helps a leader succeed in business, too. Peoplewho play sports learn how to present their winning ideas to others. Leaders improve their leadership capacity by listening to others and speaking and writing clearly and convincingly. Lancer Athletics is developing leaders of tomorrowthrough the dedication of godly coaches who are instilling the necessary leadership qualities for success. The Bible says in I Timothy 4:2- “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” Making “Every Athlete A Disciple” is the foundation that makes this happen.
