The Bible and Sports

The Washington Post has up an interesting interview with Ritchie McKay, coach of basketball at Liberty University, and how his Christian faith has impacted his life and his coaching methods.

Do you feel that being a Christian helps you be a better coach?
Oh yeah, no question. If you're in coaching, you have a position that is one of influence. You get a chance to lead young people. I think for me, that's a privilege. So if I can invest in the life of or lives of our players, and do it without an agenda of just their performance, but actually be an example for them, then, boy, that's a very, very rewarding opportunity.

Do you feel that being a Christian has hurt you as a coach?
Never.
