A Classical Perspective on Athletics in today's Modern World
How can we use this knowledge when we live in a modern world, where winning is viewed as success, and losing is failure? How can we lean on God’s examples and present ourselves in a manner that is pleasing to Him? We need to return to the understanding that learning and understanding athletics is the goal, and that winning and losing are part of the process, but not the purpose.
