At the surface, obedience is simply doing what is asked of you, without challenging or debating, but in a joyful and grateful way. But as in all things, we know that there is much more lying beneath the surface and apparent simplicity. To be obedient is to place yourself into the care of another. Not only believing that they will not over burden, take advantage of, or demand too much from you, but that they will take care of your interest, provide for your needs and promote your own good as a coach may train and foster an athlete to both improve one’s self and the team’s performance.
