short ESSAY

Christopher Campbell Star-Vicious
Revelation
Short Essay
One living person I can say or can be viewed as a prophet is my basketball coach James Jennings. I think he can be prophet or at least is a prophet to me because he attempts to use the basis of what he teaches about basketball, and wants his players to try and apply it to their everyday life. I think the message my coach James tries to get across to the players is that time and life are both too short to waste and we as people need to take the initiative to better ourselves in order to have a successful life. In the game of basketball one must have a great amount of focus and concentration in order to do well. As applying this to everyday life one must be able to focus and concentrate on whatever they are doing to come out in success. As well as basketball and in life, he teaches us to be devoted and persistent with applying ourselves to things that we like or that are important to us. The things he teaches me in practice I use it while playing basketball all the time. While encountering many different basketball coaches, Coach James has been the one to teach me things or show me things differently that other coaches didn’t know or couldn’t teach.
As intelligent as Coach James might be, I think he is truly a prophet because he could be doing much better things with his life but he chooses to stay around to help and guide others such as myself to become not only a better basketball player but a better person as well. As looking through the Revelation Tropes, Coach James has been through the obstacles of life and basketball and knows the rights and wrongs and wants to show us the right way to go. As playing for high schools and college at the time he might have been a great player but if he would have had a set direction in where he wanted to go or do in life, things might have been different for him. So he gives us as much knowledge he has and knows in order for us to do well. The knowledge that he teaches us is only the things other coaches have taught him and what he has taught him self and other experiences he encountered as a basketball player and as a person. Many people might agree or even disagree with me that James is a prophet, but from my experiences with Coach James I know he has made me want to take basketball more seriously and more important life. James has made more of a revolution trope because his message can get across to more than one individual, which in that case his message is universal. His message is not being directed to just one person, anybody can get it. Many other players that might have came across playing for Coach James, might have not gotten the message or maybe got the message but wasn’t ready to accept the message that was being placed in front of them. Some players that I know may have gotten the message while others let the message pass them by.
In a way am glad that I had the opportunity to have met Coach James because the message he had put forth to us changed my life, not in a dramatic way but know I jus look at things in different ways and when there is things I know I must do I try to put my best ability and as much as hard work I can. The things he taught me while playing basketball, like not giving up I can use this in live by not giving up on anything thing regardless what might be the obstacle set for me. Know Coach James has made me want to apply myself more to basketball and school so I can become successful in the future.
