How do sports and Christianity intersect? This book provides a biblical framework for approaching sports and examines how God can use every part of our journey, particularly trials and heartache, for His glory. Whether you are playing at the highest level of competition, playing recreationally just for fun, or watching as a fan, the passion that God has given to you for sports contains a powerful purpose. Having been on the outskirts of the elite soccer world, Victoria Yu understands a small taste of the highs and lows of trying to become a top athlete. We always hear from the perspectives of athletes who made it, but the reality is that there are so many people who fall short of their athletic dreams. This book comes from a place of encouraging athletes to trust God even when the things they want don't come to fruition. It explores how to deal with an athlete's unique experiences in a Christlike manner, spanning from injuries to pride to pressure to poor performance and more, as well as how to consider these issues thoughtfully in light of the Gospel. Featuring stories based on personal interviews with Sunho Choi (Judo Olympian), Jen Yen (former Stanford University tennis player), Mark Appel (No. 1 MLB draft pick in 2013), James Michael McAdoo (2x NBA champion), and Paul Gizzi (former professional soccer player), in this book you'll also hear about the honest experiences of Christian athletes across different sports and what God has taught them along the way as they faced ups and downs in their journey. If you're looking to delve into the topic of sports and faith, this is a great place to start.
