Bearcats Battle Back from Injury, Focusing on Identity in Christ

Sports have generally brought people an immense amount of joy. The ability to better yourself everyday as an athlete, and also contributing to a team for a common goal is a blessing. For a college athlete, being active and competing is second nature. According to the NCAA, only about 6% of high school students go on to play college sports. The challenge that comes with being an extreme competitor is handling not being able to compete. Nearly every athlete has some type of injury in their sport at some point or another, ranging from a minor stubbed toe to career spinal cord damage. Though injuries are a part of the game, they still are an unfortunate reality student-athletes hate to face.
