101 Foundations for the Unstoppable Christian Young Athlete: Life-Shaping Principles for Athletes to Build Resilience, Confidence, and Lead With Faith

By Cyrus Ellison

Book Overview

When the Love of the Game Starts to Fade

Your kid loved their sport. Now the enthusiasm is slipping. After bad games they go silent. Practice feels heavy. The voice saying "you re not good enough" gets louder. Scriptures promise identity, power, and a sound mind, but pressure makes truth hard to feel. This book shows how elite athletes turned faith into performance habits that last.

Not generic motivation. Each chapter follows one structure: vivid story, scripture, science, prayer, and one practice to try tonight. Real examples from athletes who fought for faith and identity, not fleeting wins.

Built for Teens and Parents

Short, punchy chapters in language athletes use. Ideal for anxious days, slumps, or starting a real conversation instead of another lecture.
