Spirituality of Sport: Balancing Body and Soul

by Susan Saint Sing

Overview

Drawing on her own experience and that of her peers, nationally renowned athlete Susan Saint Sing explores the mind-body-soul connection that is at the heart of all sport, play, dance and competition. With examples ranging from the ancient Greek concept of arete and the first Olympics to modern-day sports heroes like Michael Jordan, she offers deep spiritual insights on the ideal of a balanced person, ethical values for Christians engaged in sports, visualization techniques in the form of prayer and reinforcement of a positive image.
