"Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me — practise these things, and the God of peace will be with you."
Philippians 4:8–9
The Framework
Faith · Practice · Identity
Phil 4:8
Whatever is true, honourable, just, pure, lovely — fix your mind on these things. Excellence begins in thought.
Phil 4:9a
What you have learned and received — practise these things. Character is forged on the training pitch and in daily life.
Phil 4:9b
The God of peace will be with you. Identity rooted in faith is what makes a player — and a person — unshakeable.
On the Day
What to expect at 489
489 blends elite hockey coaching with intentional life and faith sessions. You'll work hard on the pitch — and engage in conversations that ask the bigger questions: who are you, what do you stand for, and who does God say you are?
