Who are you lying too?

Kids are the best at trying to lie. They give some crazy story that everyone knows isn't true. Such as I didn't steal the last cookie but they have cookie still around their mouths and on their shirt. Adults lie too and they are just as bad of lies as little kids most of the time. I always question if people think I am that foolish to believe their lies. I mean the truth always comes out one way or another. What is worst than kids or adults lying to you is you lying to you. We all do it to a point but we shouldn't. I always say the truth hurts sometimes. I recall a player I once had. She was good enough to make the team but was not starter level. Her teammates didn't really trust her and I didn't either. I only played her when we were winning by a lot and the game was heavy in our favor. Her parents (like great parents) always told her she was the best and she didn't need to change anything. They added it was just me not liking her that kept her from playing. I offered extra practices and she wouldn't show. One time she sort of talked to me after a practice what she needed to work on. I told her she needed more experience which she didn't want to hear. Remember, I offered extra practices to her and she didn't take them.  She had a awful season though we did very well as a team. She played a little and in big games. The point is she believed the lie that she was good enough and didn't need extra work. Had she worked extra the trust would have come and she would have felt more apart. She lied to herself. Who are you lying to today? What is it that you need to have a come to Jesus meeting with yourself over! The truth does hurt sometimes so maybe you don't want to admit it but I hope we ca all get our lives together and stop the lies. Worst than lying to your coach is lying to yourself... even if you parents or close friends agree. Be honest with you. 

Play hard. Play together.
