The athletic world is a battleground for confidence, consistency, and excellence. It is a fight physically to compete at the highest level, and more, it is a fight inwardly to be victorious in both the heart and mind. There are continual enemies like pride, jealousy, anger, lies, fears, and comparison traps. Peer pressure is strong. Locker rooms are often non-Christian environments. Though the battle is fierce, God has given every Christian athlete the ability to triumph victoriously. God created His athletes to be confident, consistent competitors, not defined by what they do, but bold in their God-given identity and purpose. He has provided a powerful Sword to win on every battleground. No longer does fear need to control, or performance define significance. This is why the Mental Side was written, to equip Christian competitors to WIN in heart and mind for Jesus Christ.
