Coach Me Up with Jimmy Dykes & Chris Burke

On this weeks episode of the Coach Me Up Podcast, Jimmy and Chris are joined by Ryan Martin O'Connor, the head cheerleading coach at the University of Kentucky. Kentucky cheer is the gold standard of collegiate cheerleading, and Coach Ryan, as she is referred to, leads a program that has won 24 National Titles overall. No matter what sport you coach, what position of leadership you hold, or where you are in your pursuit of a deeper more meaningful walk with God, Coach Ryan does a fantastic job of coaching us up on several key areas.

After an opening brief conversation about her job as the Kentucky cheer coach, Ryan talks about how choices determine our path, and the power of those daily decisions. Who's you are, and who you are is discussed in detail as it pertains to being a child of God, and erasing the negative voices that try to grab hold of our heart. 1 Corinthians 9: 24-27 is a life verse that has had great impact on Coach Ryan's life, and the group discusses how that applies to our day to day walk. The conversation ends with great insight about how God knows our trials in advance, and He is always with us, never caught off guard by our situations in life. It is a challenging 30 minutes with Coach Ryan Martin O ' Connor from the University of Kentucky.

On this episode of the Coach Me Up Podcast, Jimmy and Chris spend time talking with Todd Blackledge from ESPN. Todd was the #7 overall pick in the 1983 draft after leading Penn State to a National Championship, and now is one of ESPN's top college football analyst.

They take a quick look at the 2022 college football, get into an eye opening discussion about the importance we can place on youth sports if we are not careful, what is our true identity built on, and how anything we place as a priority above God in our life will ultimately fail us and let us down.

Todd tells a great story about being a 22 year old rookie in the NFL and how God called him to take a deep dive into the study of Ecclesiastes and hoe Solomon chased everything the world had to offer...and it all came up empty. It is a great reminder to all of us about how only God can fulfill our deepest desires in this life. We are reminded that anytime we take something good in our life and make it the "ultimate " thing in our life, we are missing the mark that God has called us to.

The guys wrap it up touching on how life requires us to fight at times as a believer. Life is going to have rough stretches, and we should not be surprised when we have to fight for our faith, our families, and our way.

Jimmy and Chris take a few minutes at the end to wrap up what they were" Coached Up" on by Todd Blackledge. Chris gives a great example of fight and toughness through a statement made by NFL super star Tom Brady.
