It was his relationship with his coaches during that time that served an important role, not only in Jonathan\u2019s athletic development, but in his spiritual growth as well. \u201cThrough all these experiences, I developed a real connection with my coaches,\u201d says Jonathan. \u201cThey were, first and foremost, men of God and carried themselves in a way that demonstrated what it meant to be a virtuous man.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">They were also a major reason Jonathan became a coach himself; the relationships he formed with his coaches while attending Pinecrest Academy inspired him to pursue an education and career in coaching. \u201cMy coaches also pushed me to be my best at everything I did, whether in school, at home, on the court or field, or in my faith,\u201d says Jonathan. \u201cWhen I got to college and reflected back on some of my life experiences, I realized how much of an impact these coaches played in my life and felt that, maybe, God is calling me to do the same.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Following that call to have an impact through coaching, Jonathan attended the University of Georgia and earned his Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Health and Physical Education. He also recently completed a Master of Science degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Coaching Education from Georgia Southern University in 2017. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And in 2016, Jonathan found himself back at Pinecrest, this time as coach and teacher. After coaching both the middle school<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">boys\u2019 basketball and baseball teams, he is currently serving as the varsity girls\u2019 head basketball coach. In addition to coaching, Jonathan is also the physical education teacher for all middle school students, as well as the assistant summer camps coordinator. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As coach and physical education teacher, Jonathan relishes the opportunity to have an impact on his students in the same way that his own coaches and teachers had an impact on him. \u201cI believe that all of us, no matter what stage we are in life, are in need of mentors and guides who can help us along our journey,\u201d says Jonathan. \u201cFor me, many of these people were coaches because of the amount of time that I spent with them on and off the court or field. They helped me to learn what it meant to be a competitor and how to be the best athlete I could be, but also how to be a man of God and use the gifts that He has given me in every aspect of life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">One of those mentors in Jonathan\u2019s life was his varsity basketball coach at Pinecrest, Andres Montana. It was Coach Montana who not only was one of the people who inspired Jonathan to become a coach himself, but also gave him the motto by which he lives: \u201cOur Best to Christ.\u201d This motto, Jonathan explains, \u201cis a call to give your very best no matter what, because that is how Christ would want us to live.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Jonathan has taken this motto to heart, and into his role as coach and teacher. \u201cThis became a lifestyle for me and has had such a profound impact on my life that I felt it was worth sharing with my athletes,\u201d says Jonathan. \u201cI like to think this has had a profound impact on our teams, because it puts the focus on giving our best to Christ, and not so much on the result. That\u2019s not to say that winning doesn\u2019t matter, but what\u2019s important is whether or not you fulfilled your potential.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But the O.B.T.C. motto isn\u2019t just a battle cry for his teams about to hit the field or court; for Jonathan, giving \u201cOur Best to Christ\u201d means teaching his athletes and students where their focus should be when they\u2019re off the field as well. \u201cMany of my students and athletes have adopted O.B.T.C. as part of their lives and incorporate it in different aspect of life,\u201d says Jonathan. And this is what Jonathan considers the greatest responsibility he has as a coach: to teach his athletes how to be successful both on and off the playing field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cPlaying sports presents you with numerous opportunities to learn life lessons and prepare you for future success in whatever career God has planned for you. A coach is someone who is in a position to teach those lessons and bring out the best in their athletes. They help push the athlete above and beyond what he or she thinks they are capable of. They\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">teach the athlete what it means to be a humble winner and a gracious loser. They teach the athlete the importance of a team working together towards a common goal. They teach the athlete how to prioritize their life by putting God first, others second, and self last. Coaches have a great duty to fulfill if they want their athletes to achieve true success, knowing that they did their best in order to become the best they are capable of becoming. And that means being their best in every aspect of life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Jonathan knows that he can\u2019t fulfill as important a duty as this without prayer: his teams pray before and after every game and practice. On top of that, Jonathan incorporates the teaching of virtue into everything he does with his athletes; he chooses a new virtue every week and discusses with his students different ways they might apply that virtue to their lives. \u201cIt isn\u2019t always about what we do on the court, but also how we live our lives off the court as well,\u201d says Jonathan. \u201cBy having these conversations, I think it challenges\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">my athletes to really be their best in every aspect of life, not just on the playing field.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/jonathanoshinski2-300x200.jpg\" class=\"alignright wp-image-21812 size-medium lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-21812 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/jonathanoshinski2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What Jonathan loves most about his<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">role as coach, teacher, and mentor is this opportunity to guide his students and athletes to be the best they can be, even once they\u2019ve left the basketball court. Ultimately, Jonathan does this by encouraging and cultivating a personal relationship with Jesus in the hearts of those he coaches. \u201cMy role is really to plant seeds and let God take care of the rest,\u201d says Jonathan. \u201cMy hope is that they are learning how to be the best they can be and develop a personal relationship with God so that they can go forth and fulfill His mission for them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Jonathan\u2019s mission to give his best to Christ, and to inspire his athletes to do the same, continues today, despite the sudden and unexpected end to the 2020 baseball season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. \u201cCOVID-19 really affected my baseball team and it was tough not being able to finish what we started,\u201d says Jonathan. \u201cWe had a tough season last year, but were showing a lot of promise at the start of this year. It was really hard not being able to get the result that we were hoping for, but at the end of the day, I felt that we gave it our all in the brief season that we did have.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are new challenges ahead for Jonathan, as he learns to adapt his coaching programs and methods to the new safety protocol in place. \u201cThe summer will present some challenges because we won\u2019t be able to go to team camp, which has become a major highlight of the summer. Nevertheless, we are going to be creative and keep striving to be our best.\u201d In response to these challenges, he\u2019s been meeting with athletes online and is planning to create online workouts and at-home conditioning programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In fact, Jonathan sees the new challenges presented by the COVID-19 crisis not as an obstacle to proper coaching, but as an opportunity to create more responsible and accountable athletes. \u201cIn a way, I am kind of excited about the challenge at hand, because I think it will force us out of our comfort zone if we want to be our best,\u201d says Jonathan. \u201cSince we cannot all be together, it is going to force each individual to challenge themselves and focus on their personal best if they want to prepare well for the season. It is also going to challenge us to hold each other accountable and see how strong we really are as a team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For Jonathan, the adversity caused by the current crisis is a part of life, to which there are two ways to respond: \u201cyou can say it\u2019s too hard and give up, or you take it head-on and find a way to overcome it.\u201d Says Jonathan, \u201cChrist certainly didn\u2019t quit when He was met with adversity. If we are striving to follow His example, then we shouldn\u2019t give up either.\u201d He receives the strength and courage to do this by continually turning to his motto, and encouraging his athletes to do likewise: \u201cIf we are truly striving to live out O.B.T.C, we will continue to give our best during this time and give all the glory to God while we do it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonathan Oshinski knows the impact a coach can have on a young person\u2019s life.
