Jon Gruden and "Exposing"

ESPN has a new show about a coach named Jon Gruden, who works out with, then sits down with the top quarterbacks in this years NFL draft. Colt McCoy, Tim Tebow, Sam Bradford and some others have been working with Gruden, and the show is basically Gruden exposing the players' positives and negatives. To watch the video click this ----->SportsCenter. The word "EXPOSE" is not something we want to have someone do to us but it is essential if your want to become better at what ever you do. It is so important that we have some one who will tell us honestly what we need to work on and "EXPOSE" our weaknesses. No one said the road to becoming great was a cake walk, its takes hard work and learning from our mistakes. Lets face it, fear and pride play a big role in allowing someone to speak into our lives. I think that fear is the major issue. Think about it, the only time we here the word "EXPOSE" is when someone losses a job, marriage, starting position or the ability to keep something a secret out of shame or guilt. "Exposing" can be a powerful tool in being great if the person doing with love. What I love about Coach Cruden is that he exposes all 3 of the quarterbacks positives first, then he moves on to areas they need to improve on. He sits them down INDIVIDUALLY (which is important and a whole different blog entry) and shows film of the quarterbacks in situations they didn't make the best decision. He then asks them why they made that decision and what would they have done different. How much better would we be in our sport, ministry, job, marriage or relationships if we allowed someone we trust to hold us accountable, help recognize mistakes, then how to make better decisions in the future........Just something to think about!!!!
