Prayer in sports: What’s it all about?

This past year was the most difficult I’ve ever experienced.

Junior year in high school is known for being exhausting, and that was definitely the case for me. But one thing that’s always lifted me out of a challenging time has been soccer. After a very rough season of cross country in the fall, I was eager to start the spring soccer season. 

Since I hadn’t been playing year-round club soccer as I had in the past, I expected to be a little rusty. At first, when I made varsity again, it seemed like no time had passed. But after the first few weeks, my confidence quickly plummeted.
