Going to Colorado for Ultimate Training Camp completely changed the game for me—both as an athlete and in my faith. High-altitude workouts were no joke, but everything really hit different during the 20-hour S.P.E.C.I.A.L challenge. Reaching total physical exhaustion forced me to stop trying to power through on my own energy and just completely surrender it all to God.
During the S.P.E.C.I.A.L, I truly experienced the strength of the Lord when I had nothing else to give. Hit a wall where my body was completely done, but in that exact moment, God met me right where I was. He gave me a peace and endurance I can't even describe, proving that when my strength runs out, His grace takes over.
Coming down from those mountains, my whole mindset shifted. I stopped playing for human approval or putting so much pressure on my performance. Now, whenever I step out onto the field, it's not about proving myself—it's just a pure act of worship for an Audience of One.
