SportLife: What Does it Really Take to be Great?

​

The SportLife series is designed to be a practical resource for the elite athletes, coaches and sport ministers. We want to help equip you with a Christian worldview as you deal with the challenges and joys of sport culture. This discipleship series offers three types of material to initiate discussion and spur on personal development: Critical Issues, Bible Studies and Theological Perspectives.

​

Theological Perspectives

Training for Mentors & Leaders

​

SportLife is divided into eight broad categories such as "Play, Sport and Competition," “Emotions” and “Trials and Transitions.” Each category has a Theological Perspective, written by a biblical scholar, to help the sport minister/mentor/leader develop biblical insight into common problems in the world of sport.

​

Critical Issues

Connecting with Athletes Through Felt Needs

​

Within the eight broad categories, 25 Critical Issues are explored. These pieces are designed to raise an athlete’s awareness of Critical Issues in sport through a self-discovery process, leaving them with a desire to learn more. The Critical Issue is then identified, practical tips are given, and the reader is prompted to self-evaluation.

​

Bible Studies

Biblical Wisdom Applied to Issues in Sport

​

Each of the 25 Critical Issues have a corresponding Bible Study that brings a biblical perspective to issues in sport. They are relatively simple, based on one or two Bible passages, and contain some thoughtful questions, a sport/life application, and prayer. Bible studies can be used by individuals, one on one discipleship, small group study, webinars, or team presentations.
