When Sport Becomes Your God: Decathlete Alex Bonitto on Surrender, Identity, and the “Cycle of Perseverance”
Decathlete Alex Bonitto hit rock bottom chasing Olympic dreams—until God asked, “When will you let Me be your God?” In this fast, punchy convo, Alex shares how surrendering identity to Jesus crushed performance anxiety, restored joy, and—at 30 years old, training less—led to a lifetime PR. We unpack his simple Cycle of Perseverance, moving from results-obsession to a worshipful process you can use in sport, school, or life.
Hit play if you’re an athlete or coach who:
- Feels worth rise and fall with wins
- Wants freedom from anxiety and overthinking
- Needs a practical reset for identity, focus, and peace
