How athletes prepare for games is critically important to their success. While some of that includes recovering from injuries and watching film, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts does something not many athletes do.
Hurts is not currently an MVP favorite, but he is still playing at an elite level. Through 14 games, he has Philadelphia sitting at a 12-2 record while completing nearly 70 percent of his passes, throwing for just under 2,900 yards and 18 touchdowns, while also rushing for just under 600 yards and an absurd 14 rushing touchdowns. This past Sunday’s 27-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers was one of his best performances of the season (278 passing yards, two scores).
F is for friends who do stuff together.

While you might think he studies around the clock to prepare, that’s not always the case. In an interview with GQ earlier this month, he said that he takes time on team flights to take a deep dive into reading the Bible.
“I’ve found that the plane gives me a lot of time to take a deep dive in Scripture, and then go back on my week of notes and the game plan for the opponent,” Hurts said. “Those things are very important to me, and I feel like you have to intentionally pursue them to continue to build wisdom.”

While his success on the field can’t be directly attributed to him reading the Bible, it does show that having a personal relationship with God can give you a firm foundation to build your life on. It seems as though Hurts is using that to weather the storms of an ever-unpredictable NFL career.
Don’t you just love it when athletes worship God over themselves?
