  I'm your host, Coach C, and this is Season 5, Episode 3, Results After the Route.
• 0:20
  We're continuing Season 5 discussing being made in the middle And today's episode
• 0:26
  is called Results After the Route.
• 0:31
  Where are my football fans? Let's talk about running routes.
• 0:35
  Every wide receiver knows something that many of us forget in life.
• 0:41
  The touchdown doesn't start in the end zone. It starts with the route.
• 0:47
  See, when the quarterback calls the play, every receiver has an assignment.
• 0:53
  Maybe it's a slant. Maybe it's an out. Maybe it's a post. Maybe it's a go route.
• 1:00
  Whatever the assignment is, they can't freelance.
• 1:05
  They can't decide halfway through the play that another route looks easier.
• 1:10
  They have to trust the play. They have to trust the process.
• 1:15
  They have to run the route.
• 1:17
  Here's what I love about football.
• 1:20
  The crowd usually watches the catch. The cameras replay the touchdown.
• 1:26
  People celebrate the points. But coaches, coaches watch the route because they
• 1:33
  know the route created the result.
• 1:36
  Life works the same way.
• 1:38
  Everybody wants the promotion. Everybody wants the successful business.
• 1:43
  Everybody wants the healthy marriage. everybody wants financial freedom everybody
• 1:50
  wants to fulfill their purpose we love the results but many of us want to skip the route,
• 1:57
  the route is waking up early when nobody's watching the route is showing up
• 2:02
  consistently the route is studying when you'd rather scroll the route is forgiving
• 2:09
  when you're still hurting.
• 2:11
  The route is praying when you don't yet see the answer.
• 2:15
  The route is staying disciplined when quitting would feel easier.
• 2:21
  Can I tell you something? The quarterback can't throw the ball to where you are.
• 2:27
  He throws it to where you're supposed to be.
• 2:30
  Think about that. The receiver has to trust that if they run the route correctly,
• 2:37
  the ball will meet them at the right place and at the right time.
• 2:41
  How many blessings have we abandoned because we stopped running the route too soon?
• 2:49
  How many opportunities have we missed because we changed direction out of frustration?
• 2:56
  Sometimes we're asking God, where's the ball?
• 3:01
  And God is asking us, are you still running the route I gave you?
• 3:07
  Not every route ends in a touchdown. Sometimes you're the decoy.
• 3:13
  Sometimes you're creating space for someone else.
• 3:17
  Sometimes your assignment doesn't get applause.
• 3:21
  But every route matters. Every step matters.
• 3:26
  Every ounce of discipline matters because eventually results follow the route.
• 3:35
  Don't become so focused on the scoreboard that you neglect your assignment.
• 3:40
  Stay committed to your route. Stay faithful to the process. Stay in position.
• 3:48
  Because when preparation meets opportunity, you'll already be where you're supposed to be.
• 3:55
  And when your moment comes, you won't have to panic.
• 3:59
  You'll simply catch what you've been preparing for all along.
• 4:04
  Here's your fearless homework.
• 4:06
  This week, write down one goal you've been praying for or working toward.
• 4:13
  Now ask yourself these three questions. 1. What is the route required to reach this goal?
• 4:20
  2. Have I been faithfully running my route or have I been looking for shortcuts?
• 4:28
  3. What's one disciplined action I can take every day this week to stay on my route?
• 4:36
  Then write this declaration somewhere you'll see it every morning.
• 4:42
  I don't chase results. I commit to the route because the route produces the results.
• 4:49
  Remember, the scoreboard only tells you what happened.
• 4:55
  The route tells you why it happened.
• 4:59
  Until next time, live fearless. Keep learning. Keep living.
