In Bishop Paprocki's view, everyone is called to holiness and holiness can be encountered anywhere. These eight steps help the reader navigate a life of holiness: Fear—The beginning of any new situation brings anxiety and fear. What can you learn from athletics?; Frustration—Succeeding in sport is challenging. Despite any frustrations, you can succeed if you don't give up!; Failure—Roadblocks to success are inherent in athletics. How can you deal with failure?; Fortitude—Here is a God-given virtue to give you the strength to face the challenges of sports (and life).; Faith—Success requires confidence. Confidence grows with faith. Real success comes from gratefully accepting the gifts God has given to you.; Friendship—Participating in sports is a great way to make friends and to learn how to work together.; Family—Family life is the first \"team sport.\" How you work and play together with those closest to you will teach you lessons to last a lifetime.; Fun—Do you live your life only to win or do you pause to enjoy God's great gifts? Can you do both? Certainly you can!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ave Maria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47045817172208,"sku":"9781594713668","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781594713668_p0.jpg?v=1763811335","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781594713668","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
