Though this question may seem like an easy one to answer, I can speak from experience that it’s not. The choice of whether or not to participate in high school or collegiate sporting events on the Sabbath faces many of our young Adventist athletes everyday. If you have exceptional athletic abilities the pressure to perform during the Sabbath becomes even greater.
I have often wondered what those who make the decision to play on Sabbaths feel. Do they feel conflicted? Are there any regrets? Can they change their minds without the rest of the world saying “Well you did it before why not do it now?”
The article below tells the story of a young lady in Virginia who had to make that decision and how it affected her life.
