You have been very generous to share a few of the resources (other than books) which have produced good results within your ministries with sportspeople.
I am specifically referring to:
• Bible studies
• Videos
• Web sites
• Periodicals
• Podcasts
• Phone apps
• On-line devotionals
• Others?
A compilation of such resources from our colleagues around the world is below. Thanks very much.

Bible studies - through Gateway Bible which will send your specific study. Mine – Words of Jesus; study on what Jesus spoke about in Matt, Mark, Luke, & John…
Videos – ESPN & Student Athletes creating them…
Web sites – North Point

From Jonathan Berry of Bloomington-Normal FCA – Illinois, USA
Video - Band of Brothers WWII series from HBO. I have 8 clips that range from 5-8 minutes long that I have used for both high school and college football chapels. It has been more of a character coaching resource but allows some open doors for introducing Christ as well.
From Pat Ford – West Texas FCA Character Coach and Chaplain, USA
I use the “Habitudes” curriculum quite a lot. The athletes have responded very well to the videos. Strongly recommend.

Facebook is my most effective tool for my ministry. Reading what they or their families are going through, gives me an opportunity to offer prayer, scripture and encouragement.
