This book shared interviews of pro-athletes and how they live their lives as Catholics, which helped me to realize how much of an important role faith has (or has come, in some cases) in becoming and staying so talented in a given sport. While it was encouraging to read how faith and athletics coincide, reading the interviews of so many athletes with somewhat similar stories became repetitive.
