Growing up, I was blessed with two loving parents who made it a priority to teach me about Jesus. It wasn’t until my junior year of college that I learned the concept audience of one (Ao1). Ao1 is essentially living your life to please God rather than family, friends,
coaches, scouts, social media, etc. I used to put so much pressure on
myself to perform and I looked for approval from outside sources. Playing for an audience of one has allowed me to play with a newfound freedom in Christ, fully knowing that no matter how I perform God will still love me. Knowing what Jesus went through for my sins on the cross helps me push through when I am tired in the heat of competition. If he can endure that
treatment on the cross then I can find the strength to complete my soccer game.New ENLikes play
