Reflections from coaches. Part 3

Does a coach really make a difference?

When I look at professional sporting teams that played for their country I use to wonder if a coach really made a difference to a team.
They are a group of players that are the best at what they do

Recently looking at the Australian cricket team, I would say Yes, a coach does make a difference.

The turn around since Darren Lehman took over as coach is remarkable.

The decision to dump Arthur came fresh after Australia's limp showing in the Champions Trophy - the defending champions were eliminated in the group stage - and a 4-0 Test series thrashing at the hands of India.
This was 16 days before the Ashes Tour in England

But Lehman wasn't a lucky pick.
He was the coach of Australia A.
He turned around QLD cricket in one season.

I think there can be a comparison in ministry.
There are people who get the best out of the people God places around them.

They grow people
They grow ministry
They grow those around them

Are you a person that makes a difference?
