Do you ever wonder why athletes always seem to thank God, first and
foremost, in post-game interviews? Or why they point to the heavens
following a home run or a touchdown?
This book takes a look at the relationship between top athletes
and religiosity (or spirituality) in a number of different ways. It
aims to address the issues of when sport and religion began to
merge, whether professional athletes are, in fact, more religious
than the rest of the population, how a spiritual mindset might (or
might not) benefit athletes, and why wearing the same underwear
during a winning streak has anything to do with religious faith.
These questions are confronted by looking at psychological and
sociological studies, conducting original research, and examining
exclusive interviews with professional athletes.
So what does a player like Jerry Stackhouse think of the culture
of faith in the NBA? How does an agnostic athlete view the
religiously themed celebrations in the NFL? Are top performers in
other walks of life just as religious as top athletes? The results
might surprise you.
