The Goal and The Glory

World-Class Athletes Share Their Inspiring Stories
Compiled By Josh Davis Three-Time Gold Medalist

For these Christian athletes, glory means more than gold medals.
Why are many of us so profoundly moved by the drama of world-class sporting events? Perhaps it's because we are introduced to people who have set lofty goals, and then are invited to watch as they achieve those dreams. Here are the real people who faced hardships, setbacks, struggles and disappointments, just like we do. And somehow they make their childhood wishes into a reality!

Not everyone can reach the heights of athletic glory, but everyone has the potential to be great at something. God has designed a unique dream for each and every person. Let the moving stories of these world-class athletes awaken the greatness in you. Immerse yourself in each athlete's most personal moments in competition, experiences that reveal the significance of friendship, the necessity of hard work and the importance of dedication and sacrifice. Learn firsthand how each athlete has placed his or her dependence on God. As you are inspired to set goals for yourself, you will be on the path to becoming the best - the very best - at whatever God has made you to do and be!
