More Than A Game (Formerly Why Sports Matter)

Many of us experience sports much like religion: they give us a shared identity, a sense of community, and a common purpose. So what wisdom can we draw from the sports world to help us navigate the chaos and confusion -- and also the awakening and transformation -- happening today? Join host Varun Soni, Dean of Religious and Spiritual Life at the University of Southern California, in this limited-run series from Religion of Sports.

I just listened to the first episode about mountain climbing and its dangers. I`m no mountain climber but as an athlete, i completely relate. It also helps the listener get a better understanding of some of the forces that drive them to play their sport regardless of the difficulties or the risks along the way.
