We explore the role of faith in high-performance athletics, how belief shapes identity, and why purpose beyond medals and rankings matters in a demanding sport like track and field. Jack shares how his faith-based journey has influenced his approach to training, discipline, nutrition, and resilience — especially during setbacks, injuries, and seasons of uncertainty. In a sport where results often define worth, Jack speaks candidly about grounding his identity in something deeper than performance. A major theme of this conversation is how faith provides stability in an unstable performance environment. Jack breaks down: How faith impacts his mindset before competition Navigating pressure, comparison, and expectations as an elite athlete Finding peace and confidence regardless of results Competing with intensity while remaining detached from ego Using discipline, stewardship, and gratitude as performance anchors Rather than separating faith from sport, Jack explains how belief informs how he trains, why he competes, and who he is beyond the track. We also dive into the physical side of the decathlon and how faith ties into: Treating the body as something to steward, not abuse Intentional nutrition choices and questioning outdated models like the food pyramid Training with long-term health in mind, not just short-term performance Aligning values with lifestyle, recovery, and consistency
