The Athlete’s Prayer · AMDG — Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam Tee
BEFORE THE BATTLE, I PRAY.
Created for the athlete who knows that strength is a gift, competition is an opportunity, and the ultimate victory is giving the glory back to God.
The front bears the ancient Catholic motto:
A · M · D · G
Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam
For the Greater Glory of God.
On the back, a prayer for the moments before competition:
GIVE ME STRENGTH WITHOUT PRIDE.
COURAGE WITHOUT FEAR.
VICTORY WITHOUT VANITY.
Finished with Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam — a reminder that whatever the outcome, the purpose remains the same:
Not for my glory. For His.
Designed for the week of the competition. The night before the race. The walk onto the field. The moments before the first rep, first whistle, first bell, or starting line.
For runners, lifters, fighters, CrossFit athletes, wrestlers, football players, soccer players, gymnasts, swimmers and every athlete who competes with faith.
Train with discipline. Compete with courage. Give the glory to God.
