6. David Boudia

London gold-medal winner David Boudia, 27, is not only an inspirational diver but also inspires others with his faith, particularly two NFL stars. Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Prince Amukamara recently tweeted this after hearing David speak about Jesus:

loved USA Olympic swimmers interview! “Identity not in swimming but in Christ!”

David’s college coach brought him to the Lord. Since then, he lives by one of his favorite verses, Psalm 115:1: “Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!

David says, “Ultimately, when you have the perspective of why you’re competing and what you’re trying to pursue, the rest just falls into place. I don’t have to change my mindset. It’s still all for one purpose. It’s all about glorifying God.”
