Identity is one of the most important constructs all Athletes need to understand and master.

You have to know “WHO” you are.

Think about it. For almost anything of importance in your life, you will be required to IDENTIFY yourself.

If you get pulled over by the police, what do they ask for? ID

When you attempt to travel between countries, what do you need? ID

When you are in the middle of any type of legal transaction, what must you produce? ID

Many Athletes, Performers, and People do NOT know who they are. They confuse WHO they are for WHAT they do. This is backwards. WHO you are doesn’t change. God has put everything you will ever need within you. Yes, you will come across impactful people, have life-changing conversations, and make major moves in your life that are external, but your unique gifts, talents and abilities are God-given.

WHO you are is stable, whereas WHAT you do can change in a heartbeat. Your WHO follows YOU for the rest of your life. Your WHAT can be taken away from you in an instant!

NEWS FLASH

Your enemy knows the power of identity as well….and he’s been attacking & questioning identity since the beginning of time.

When you don’t know your identity:

You go around in circles 

You go backwards.

You fall

You get tricked

You hesitate

You become double-minded

You are unstable

You lose power

You don’t fulfill potential

IF YOU EVER FORGET…REPEAT THE FOLLOWING:

I am loved.

I am protected.

I am an heir.

I have access to all of God‘s promises.

I am what the Bible says I am.

I am saved by grace.

I do not have to earn acceptance.

I am powerful.

I am a child of God!
