He would be graduating from Illinois State University in May with a degree in Exercise Science. One night as we drove to an off-season team workout, I shared with him my “dream” of starting our own business together. It would include an indoor athletic training facility. Michael could manage the daily operations. We would spread the word of Jesus Christ in our lessons and mentorship of young players. Our facility would operate high-level club teams, and we would use those teams to share the gospel with others. We would call it “Game Seven Ministries…
Why Game Seven Michael asked? Because when people think of Game Seven they think “do or die” – but the real Game 7 is accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior – and we will help athletes make that decision and grow in their faith. Michael liked the name “Game Seven,” and the idea. In April 2014, Michael was killed by a drunk driver. My hope with Game Seven is to honor God by following this vision I shared with Michael – and to help athletes grow in their faith by providing a Christ-centered athletic experience.

Coach, as you prepare your team for the season, remember what else you’re building. The way you respond to mistakes. The attention you give a player who’s struggling. The integrity you model when a shortcut would be easier. These everyday moments teach lessons your players will carry long after their final game.
Prepare to compete. Pursue excellence. And trust God with the work, you may never get to see fully grow.

Game Seven 10U Lawrence finished the season this week 39-13 with a championship in the Firecracker Frenzy in Bettendorf, IA by beating the Minooka Rivercats 4-2! The boys had been in a funk they have not experienced yet, but dug deep and played their best baseball with all heart the last 2 days to close the G7 chapter in an amazing way to honor Michael and his legacy. The Rivercats also prayed with them after. Great job boys!
