He credited his teammates, who he thanked in turn, with challenging him every day and driving him forward and making him a better player.
The abundance of a grateful heart gives honor to God even if it does not turn to Him in words. An unbeliever who is filled with thanks for his very being has ceased to be an unbeliever.
