Are you a teen girl drowning in the pressure of club volleyball, travel soccer, competitive dance, or basketball? Do you ever feel like your jersey defines your worth—that your stats, playing time, or coach’s opinion are what make you valuable? Girl, this episode is for you.

In this powerful conversation on FR, Let’s Talk, we get real about the mental, emotional, and spiritual toll of competitive sports. From the late nights, endless tournaments, and recruitment pressures to the quiet ache of feeling unseen, we’ll unpack what happens when the sport you love starts owning your life.

But here’s the truth: your identity isn’t in a jersey — it’s in Jesus. 💛

Together, we’ll dive into:
✨ The shift from joy to performance-driven pressure in sports
✨ How constant training, games, and expectations steal peace and joy
✨ The toll on your family, friendships, and mental health
✨ Biblical truth about your worth, rest, and identity in Christ (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Matthew 11:28, Colossians 3:23)
✨ Permission to step back, redefine success, and protect your soul
✨ Encouragement for those who still love the game to play with purpose, freedom, and joy

Whether you’re an athlete ready to walk away, or you’re still passionate about the game but need a reset on identity, this episode will remind you:

You are not your position.
You are not your playing time.
You are not your highlight reel.

You are God’s masterpiece!

Chosen, loved, and enough, on and off the court! 🏐⚽🏀

If you’ve ever whispered, “I’m tired, but I don’t know how to say it,” lean in. This is the pep talk your soul has been waiting for.
