ADVENT FOR ATHLETES
Advent for Athletes is a daily, 15-minute playbook built for high school and youth competitors who want to build mental toughness and spiritual strength. Each day delivers a short Scripture reading, a quiet moment to reset, a prayerful prompt written specifically for the athlete's experience, and a quick prayer to carry into practice, game day, or class.
Pray individually at home, on the bus, or before class.
Coaches & Captains — lead your team in prayer before or after practice.
