Inspiring Athletes

Back in March, I was privileged to interview Tom Osborne for the third time in the past four years. The previous two interviews were for Fellowship of Christian Athletes projects, but this most recent conversation was for a new book coming out later this year called Husker Legacy. It would take pages of copy to…

Gerald McCoy loves to enjoy life and he loves Jesus. Those two things have sometimes been considered mutually exclusive—you can’t love both, just one or the other. But the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle has spent most of his young adult life trying to prove otherwise thanks to his infectious smile, his ability to light…

Justin Allgaier has literally been around racing his whole life. He caught the bug from his father Mike who worked with various teams due to his involvement with Hoosier Tire Distributors. By the time Allgaier was just five years old, he was buzzing around the track in a quarter midget, and he hasn’t stopped since.…

At the University of Nebraska, Eric Hagg initially thought he was going there to play football. But what he didn’t realize was how much his life would change away from the game. Through the influence of Fellowship of Christian Athletes and some close teammates, his burgeoning faith in God grew exponentially. Now in his second…

Bernhard Langer is one of golf’s true legendary figures. With two Masters titles, 85 professional wins and the 2004 Ryder Cup championship as the European team captain to his name, it’s not difficult to understand why he was named to the World Golf Hall of Fame while still an active PGA golfer and four years…

Adam Wainwright has made a nice living striking out Major League hitters and keeping zeroes on the opponents’ scoreboards. But as his young daughters get old enough to explore the world of competitive sports on their own, the St. Louis Cardinals pitcher says he wants to make sure golf is something they strongly consider. “I’m…

My writing career began about 22 years ago. I was entering my second semester as a freshman at the University of Tulsa when the sports editor at The Collegian asked me if I’d like to write some stories for the paper. I jumped on the opportunity. I had no clue what I was doing at…

In what will likely go down in broadcasting history as the most watched Olympics of all-time, the 2012 London Games offered all of the drama, disappointment and downright awe-inspiring moments that we’ve come to expect. Here are just a few of the highlights from the 30th Olympiad: USA tops medal count, reclaims gold tally from…

With so much attention going to the U.S. men’s basketball team, it was almost a little too easy to overlook the dominance displayed by the American women. Team USA put any doubts to rest with an 86-50 victory over France en route to its fifth consecutive gold medal. The gold medal game completed an undefeated…

David Boudia shocked the diving community with an Olympic gold medal performance in the 10-meter platform event. His score of 568.65 was good enough for U.S. Diving’s first Olympic gold since Greg Louganis won his second consecutive title at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul. Boudia barely qualified for the semifinals by finishing in 18th place…
