TOTAL ATHLETE

At Athletes in Action, we believe every competitor is more than their stats—they’re a whole person created with purpose. The Total Athlete grows physically, mentally, and spiritually, discovering they’re not just Made for Sport but Made for More—playing for an Audience of One.

WHAT IS A TOTAL ATHLETE?

PHYSICAL

This is how you train, play, rest, and fuel your body. Taking care of it isn't just about performance-it's about honoring God with the body He gave you. Ask: How do you usually treat your body4like a tool to win, or a gift from God?

MENTAL

Your thoughts shape how you play. What you say to yourself matters. Are your thoughts full of truth or fear? Ask: What's something you often think before a game or practice? Is that helping you or hurting you?

SPIRITUAL

This is your relationship with Jesus. It's not just going to church-it's about trusting God, praying, reading His Word, and letting Him lead how you live and compete. Ask: Do you ever talk to God about your sport? What do you think He cares about when you play?

MADE FOR SPORT MADE FOR MORE
