Former University of Florida tennis player and current pro tennis coach Jordan Belga joins us today to talk about what he has learned with blending together his love for Jesus and his passion for sport. As someone that has a fascinating journey to get to where he is today, Jordan opens up about some very important topics like finding his worth in Jesus, what he went through as a youth and high school athlete, and more.
One thing that Jordan and Ken spend some time on today is his platform for athletes called Rooted Competitor. This Instagram page gives athletes and people that love sports an opportunity to open up and just share what they’ve gone through and how they’ve seen Christ move in their lives.
So many have been impacted by this page, and you should check it out: https://www.instagram.com/rootedcompetitor/
Listen today as we discuss:
- The process of blending together a love for Jesus with a love for sports
- Not putting your identity in the wins or the losses
- What Jordan learned from a difficult experience through sport
- Why he started Rooted Competitor
- How his life experiences formed the idea of Rooted Competitor
