Sometimes It's The Little Things

Greetings!

It’s hard to believe it’s already been nearly five months since I joined the Synergy Team as Sports Director. In that time, I’ve had the privilege of meeting many of you across Texas, El Salvador, and Europe.

One of my top priorities in this role is to serve as a resource for as many of you as possible. I know some of you are seasoned veterans who have been leading cheer and baseball camps for decades. Still, one thing I’ve learned over my 28 years in ministry is that there’s always room to grow.

Let's all ask, “How can this be better?”

Often, the biggest improvements come from the smallest changes.

For example, as a station leader, I frequently saw teams walk the wrong direction across the field because they were unsure where their next station was located.

At our camp in Westoverledingen, our team solved this by color-coding stations to match the rotation schedule. Teams simply matched the color on their schedule to the flag on the field—and the confusion disappeared.

These are exactly the kinds of ideas I want to learn from you. If you’ve found a simple strategy that helps your camp run like a well-oiled machine, I’d love for you to share, so please send your ideas to brent@synergymissions.net.

I look forward to learning from you and continuing to improve together.

Blessings,

Brent Neumann

Synergy Sports Director
