Coach, here's something you might want to do to experience God's activty in your coaching like the government official experienced.
In your office, get your Bible out and look for a command from God. You might try Proverbs, or Matthew 5-7, or John 15, or possibly Philippians. When someone asks what you're doing, you can say something like, "Looking for a challenge from God that will knock my socks off."
Or, you know, put it in your own words.
Why not take a risk at looking foolish?
That's where God will be found.
He's in the risk.

HOW TO OVERCOME JEALOUSY IN COACHING
Competitive sports is a world of comparisons. You win because, compared to your opponent, you scored better. A pro athlete gets top dollar because, compared to other position athletes, he is better.
So, how do you keep on target without letting the ugly green monster of jealousy tightly sequeeze you empty, and hang you out to dry?
Coach, God has called you for a purpose in coaching that only you can do with the athletes He has for you to coach. No one else with your exact chemistry can get the job done in the same way you can get it done.
Focus on what God has called you to do, and you'll never get into the grips of the ugly green monster.
