Top 10 Mistakes I Made as an Athlete

Top 10 Mistakes I Made as an Athlete

Every athlete struggles with certain things while playing sports. As Christian athletes, it's crucial to discuss these issues and learn from others on how to combat them. How can we use those things to spread the Gospel? Can we take what we learn and use it to glorify God?

Today we discuss the top 10 mistakes I made as an athlete throughout my career. While these are not the only things that I struggled with during my time playing sports, they are major things that came up frequently.

The list (listen to find out what order they're in):

  • Misinterpreting the meaning of injuries
  • Trying to prove others wrong
  • Not reaching out to younger/older players
  • Putting opponents and teammates down
  • Making sports who I am
  • Preparing physically and not mentally
  • Putting too much pressure on myself
  • Pushing my body too far
  • Not letting Jesus onto the field with me
  • Not enjoying the opportunities I was given throughout my career
