The 5 Most Dangerous Types Of Athletes
By definition, when something is ‘dangerous’, it is able or likely to cause harm or injury.
Most people think its bad. Well it can be. It can also be good if used in the right direction.
Take a look at the following list, and YOU decide.
The 5 Most Dangerous Types Of Athletes
#5: The Know-It-All. This is a man who is all gas no brakes. All heart, little logic. He’s always right, and can do no wrong. The Bible tells us this about pride:
It comes before destruction (Proverbs 16:18)
God resists the proud (James 4:6)
Pride is accompanied by disgrace (Proverbs 11:2)
#4: The Person who is committed to vision bigger than himself. God is a generational God and the work that he does through this Athlete is part of the bigger plan.
When you are playing for someone or something bigger than yourself, there is a different type of confidence that comes with it. You don’t even care about yourself anymore, because what is at stake is much bigger.
This athlete knows that his power is not his own. This man is dangerous.

William Wallace was about that life…
#3: The Person who has nothing to lose. For this athlete, the only way out is through. He knows that he cannot fall any further when he is on his knees before his God. When you truly have no “Plan B”, you become a force to be reckoned with. This man is dangerous.
#2: The Person who has been beaten down emotionally, physically, and mentally. If a hurt dog will holler…… This man is primed to snap. As human beings with mood, emotions, and feelings, we can only take so much. When someone has been beaten down long enough, the bottled up agony may come out explosively. This man is dangerous.
#1: The Most Dangerous Person is the person who knows who he is. He knows that he is fearfully and wonderfully made. He is more than a conqueror, and though he may fall down seven times… he will rise again. Mark this man. This man is dangerous.
As God’s child, you pose a threat to the enemy (satan). When you are committed to a vision bigger than yourself, have nothing to lose, and you know who you are…you become an extremely powerful person in God’s kingdom. You become dangerous.
