Kopion - to work until utter exhaustion

1 Corinthians 15:58 - Therefore my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor is not in vain.

Seek to achieve this in every aspect of your life: soccer, academics, relationships, job, etc.

  • End Product
Play Beautiful – this is how we score to win games
• Tempo – do we need to play faster or slow the game down
• Possession with purpose – we possess the ball to create goal scoring opportunities
• Freedom in attack – be creative in the final third, take risks, make something positive happen
• 1st touch forward – when I receive the ball, can I play forward and create an opportunity
• Score the next goal – always pushing for the next goal no matter who scored
• Counter-attack – we won the ball, can we transition quickly to create an opportunity
• Use Width – spread the field, make the opponent have to defend the entire field, create time and space for yourself
• Vary attack – be unpredictable, go around the outside, play through passing lanes, play over the top
• Sustain attack – maintain support and balance to keep them pinned in their half
• End product – get something out of each attack, a corner, a shot, a cross, a goal
