Ep. 60 - Dave Klassen - Integrating Spirituality and Athletics

LeaderImpact Podcast

What happens when faith meets the high-stakes world of athletics? In this episode, we welcome Dave Klassen, National Director for Athletes in Action and chaplain for several major sports teams, who takes us on an inspiring journey of integrating faith with the competitive spirit of sports. Dave shares his experiences supporting athletes, coaches, and communities, recounting the evolution of post-game prayers that now focus on gratitude and solidarity. With humor and heartfelt reflections, he offers a rare glimpse into the personal side of his ministry.
Dave's story is one of resilience and transformation. From being a top junior college player in Canada to facing career-halting injuries and academic challenges, Dave found a new path through faith in Jesus.
