(See Leader’s Notes – p.37) The aim of the first session is to: • Give an overview of the course (See leaders notes) • Hear from some Christians who have been impacted by Christ. • Field any questions that may arise. • Encourage the athletes to form one or more Impact Teams. The Impact Team series is designed to challenge you to let God impact your life. To know more of, grow stronger with and closer to God. This will be a fantastic series but it will not be easy. You will know as an sports person that everything that is worth having is worth working hard for. Listen to the speakers in this first session and ask yourself if you want to really know more of God and allow him to impact your life. The series works best when you come prepared and give your best. 1. Overview. We break meetings down into nine short sections illustrated on page four. 2.
