Eleven of Australia’s top athletes and sporting stars feature on a new DVD produced by Bible Society as part of ‘The Prize’ – a sporting edition of the New Testament.
The DVD is introduced by the two ‘Jasons’ – Jason Smith former captain of the Sydney Kings and now with the ‘South Dragons’ and Jason Stevens, former player with the Cronulla Sharks and now NRL Staffer. All the sportsmen and women featured on the DVD talk of their Christian faith and commitment.
The DVD provides more than just interviews, it gives an insight into each athlete’s training regime, how they cope with the pressure of their game of sport and how they stay motivated. Each athlete was filmed on location around Australia, producing a world-class Christian Sports DVD.
As well as interviews and other material, the DVD contains footage of each athlete involved in their sport. Featured on the DVD are:
Jason Smith – Former captain of Sydney Kings, now with South Dragons
Jason Stevens – Former Cronulla Sharks Rugby League play and now NRL staffer
Allison Shreeve – World Wind Surfing champion
Aaron Baddeley – Professional Golfer – currently in Top 20 world rankings
Brad Thorn – Rugby Union player with the Crusaders. Brad has represented Australia in Rugby League and New Zealand in Union
David Simmons – Cronulla Sharks Rugby League
Deb Lovely – Commonwealth Games Weight Lifting Gold medalist
Joey Peters – Matildas – Womens football team
Mark Seaby – West Coast Eagles AFL
PJ Marsh – Brisbane Broncos Rugby League and 2008 origin representative
Andrew Swallow – North Melbourne AFL
Jason Stevens was instrumental in encouraging Bible Society to produce the DVD to go with ‘The Prize’ New Testament. “Jason suggested we do more than just interview Christian athletes,” said Producer/Director Martin Johnson. “He wanted to include additional segments on each athlete’s training and fitness regime and to also ask them how they dealt with the pressures of elite sport,” he said.
“The DVD menus enable the viewer to just watch each athlete’s story, or by selecting another menu, watch them in training or as they talk about the pressures of the game,” Martin said. “It’s a great way of ‘adding value’ and in total there is over four hours of content,” he added.
Each athlete’s testimony is also reproduced inside the New Testament with their Testimony Card available as a PDF on the DVD.
Bible Society is very excited about this new product. With the Olympic Games coming up in August, this will be a great resource for Churches, Christians and those involved in all forms of sports ministry.
