Former Olympian Brock Kreitzburg: As a Follower Of Christ, I’m Achieving The Eternal Prize

By Movieguide® Staff

Former Olympian Brock Kreitzburg shared how he applies the athlete’s mindset to his Christian faith in a new interview with Kirk Cameron.

“As a follower of Christ and as I’m achieving the eternal prize, I need to use those same tools I had when I was an athlete,” he told Cameron on TAKEAWAYS. “I need to be disciplined each day to spend time in God’s word, to pray, to resist sin, so that I can present myself to the Lord and he can say ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.’”

When asked what advice he would give to young Christian athletes, Kreitzburg spoke about the importance of keeping your eye on the prize and remaining disciplined.

“Being an athlete, that can’t be enough,” he said. “You’re looking for the next thing.”

The American bobsleigh Olympian also talked about how he always looked ahead to the next challenge after winning competitions and championships.

“But not only as an athlete,” he added. “You need to do that spiritually as well. You need to show up each day and do the work. You need to pray, you need to fast… you need to read the Word so that you are spiritually strong.”

“You’re going to be very strong physically,” Kreitzburg continued. “But spiritually, you need to be just as strong because there’s a lot of temptation in the sports world. The more temptation, the more things there are to distract you from your goal.”

Cameron added: “Grow in your physical strength, but don’t let your physical strength outpace your spiritual growth because you’re going to need to be spiritually strong because of the success that may come…from your physical strength.”
