8 Olympians who talk about Jesus – and there’s nothing the media can do about it

2. Tamika Catchings

There are few things surer for the United States at the Olympic games than dominating in the basketball category. That’s even true for the women’s team. As a fourth-time olympian, WNBA star Tamika Catchings, 37, hopes to bring home yet another medal for the USA.

In college, Tamika was injured and credits that incident as a reminder that God should always come first in her life:

“Peace definitely came from God. It came from realizing I needed to remove my focus from basketball back to God. It seems like every single time I have been hurt it has been the same thing. It’s been that you get so caught up in what you are doing that you forget to give Him the glory.”
