    Faith Meets Science: Discovering the Intersection of Sport Psychology and Scripture

    In Season 15 of Building Championship Mindsets, Dr. Amber Selking delves into the intersection of sport psychology and faith. This season aims to explore how principles of sport psych can be understood through a theological lens, particularly from a Christian perspective.
