Fruits of the Spirit
Playing with Galatians 5:22-23 On and Off the Court
Love is how we treat people when the score is tight and emotions are loud. It’s celebrating a teammate’s effort, not just their highlights. It’s choosing encouragement over sarcasm, respect over blame, and unity over ego.
Love reminds us: we’re on the same side of the net.
Because of that…
-
I encourage teammates before I critique them.
-
I celebrate others’ success without jealousy.
-
I include everyone, especially the athlete who’s struggling.
-
I speak with respect to coaches, teammates, opponents, and officials.
Our motto: “Playing with Galatians 5:22-23.”
These traits are how we practice, compete, respond, and represent the Missouri Mighty Piranhas.
What this looks like in real volleyball moments
-
After an error: reset, encourage, and demand the next ball (Peace + Joy + Temperance).
-
After a bad call: no arguing, no drama, next point (Temperance + Meekness).
-
When a teammate struggles: help them, don’t highlight it (Love + Gentleness + Longsuffering).
-
When we win: humble, thankful, respectful (Meekness + Faith + Goodness).
-
When we lose: learn, work, improve, stay united (Faith + Longsuffering + Love).
