Prayer on the sidelines

Liam Peschke

I was a new student at a boarding school, and I was excited to participate in all the opportunities, including playing on the junior varsity soccer team. I knew I needed to step up my game in order to have a good season. I put my all into every practice, working hard and playing my best. It was also important to me to support my teammates in whatever ways I could.
