Athletes and coaches have a competitive nature, therefore, it is easy for them to develop a prideful attitude, which is opposite of a dependency on God.
People listen to what the athletes and coaches have to say.
Individuals are encouraged to count the cost before making a decision to follow Christ, recognizing that a life of following Christ is not going to be easy. Jesus was very clear when He challenged His followers to count the cost of following Him before they started the journey and the FCA strives to tell all of the same challenge. This continuing adventure provides the opportunity for individuals to grow in knowledge of and service to Christ. This adventure at times is filled with every emotion imaginable, but following in Christ's footsteps every step of the way will be extremely rewarding. Through its programs and strategies, the FCA presents Christ as Savior and Lord, which encompasses the salvation message of the Gospel and the lordship message of following Christ daily.
