Pillar 5: Virtue
Participation in Victory Sports will help parents, coaches, and athletes become virtuous, that is, habitually choosing the good by cooperating with God’s grace to live in God’s kingdom here on earth and be able to enjoy eternal happiness with Him in heaven. Virtue is always purposeful and deliberate.
Sport is useful for developing virtue because just as we must turn singular good actions into repeatable habits, true excellence in sports (“playing the game the right way”) requires us to form good habits and sound fundamentals with the goal, for example, that we be able to throw the football to the best of our ability nearly every time.
In short, growing in virtue means desiring the good, choosing the good, and doing the good, not one time, but a hundred times or a thousand times.
