per Randy:
Among P.J. Fleck’s go-to phrases when discussing his football players is how he wants them to grow in four areas: academically, athletically, socially and spiritually.
Fleck’s final category — spiritually — prompted a question during the coach’s Tuesday news conference. “Can a player without faith play for you?” a reporter asked.
“Absolutely,” Fleck quickly responded, “because the way we talk about spirituality is just believe in something bigger than yourself. ... Doesn’t have anything to do with religion.”
It’s understandable that Fleck would want to clarify that the way he emphasizes spirituality was not an endorsement of a particular religion.
