The purpose of our athletic performance program at Emmaus Bible College is to first and foremost reduce the risk of injury for our athletes. Athletes are coming to our school to deepen their relationship and knowledge of Jesus Christ and to play a sport, we aim to make sure that happens. We are committed to excellence in the full sense of the word. Excellence is not glamorous and takes work. “Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9:25‬ ‭NIV‬. Paul uses this as a spiritual example to tell us that growth takes intent and commitment to it. We are committed to the growth of the whole student-athlete with their relationship with Christ being the foundation.
