HOW SPORTS OUTREACH WILL MAKE AN IMPACT…
“You’re Amazing” Sports Outreach
Student-athletes need to know they are MORE THAN the sports they play! Their identity and worth is MORE THAN their ability to compete.
They are Amazing not because of what they do but because of WHO they are. It is through identifying their true GREATNESS that makes them the most influential and inspirational players in the athletic arena.
“Do you not know that the runners in the stadium all run in the race, but only one wins the prize? Run so as to win. Every athlete exercises discipline in every way. They do it to win a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one.”
1 Cor 9:24-25
We are committed to supporting and working through your school’s athletic department to take athletic training to a deeper level that promotes greater purpose, perseverance, performance, and a desire to WIN.

Huddles are athlete‑focused Bible studies and discussions led by trained student‑athlete leaders or coaches, supported by the sports outreach team. They help athletes build real camaraderie, grow in courage, authenticity, and obedience, and deepen their relationship with Christ. Each huddle ends with a team challenge that encourages athletes to live out the Word they received.
-
Athletic teams strive to build a winning culture on and off the field. Team retreats help athletes find their true identity and true purpose in Christ. This is an opportunity for your team to come together and share their hopes, dreams, and challenges while creating an unstoppable team culture.

This training teaches athletes how to compete as servant leaders who model Christ on and off the field. Through it, they learn to use their gifts, their example, and their encouragement to lift their teammates to victory—both in sports and in life. Core Team Leaders are trained to lead Team Huddles and be strong witnesses on their teams.
-
Every team needs a clear message to rally around. Team messages bring hope, inspiration, and encouragement to the athletes who need it most. They help your players use their season not just to compete, but to discover who they are and who God has called and created them to be.

THE PROBLEM
In today's culture, many athletes don't know that they are loved and believed in. Oftentimes, they are surrounded by negativity and criticism. Since COVID-19, nearly 1 in 4 adolescents reported struggling with depression or other mental health challenges.
According to a recent CDC study, youth who felt connected to adults and peers at school were significantly less likely than those who did not feel connected to report persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness (35% vs. 53%). The same unconnected youth seriously considered attempting suicide (14% vs. 26%) or did attempt suicide (6% vs. 12%).
THE SOLUTION
You’re Amazing Sports Outreach provides coaches the training and resources to encourage and believe in their athletes for who they are at the core of their identity as God’s sons and daughters. Catholic Sports Outreach allows athletes to be empowered as witnesses and leaders in their school to inspire change on and off the field through core team training, team huddles, and a sports leadership day. The Catholic Sports Outreach team forms student athletes to use every aspect of the game to find who they are and who God has called and created them to be.
