Matt Hemingway

Olympic Silver Medalist in the High Jump

Before this project, I honestly had not known about Matt Hemingway. Come to find out, he is a big deal both physically, standing 6’8” tall, and with what he has accomplished in the high jump. Although he’s past his competing days, watch Matt jump just once and you can see next-level ability. Matt’s Olympic Silver Medal and his 20-year record easily backs this up.

Anyone who has climbed to the top of the mountain in any sport has my utmost respect. Getting to Colorado was going to be tough, but once we found out more about Matt, we decided to hop on a plane to make sure we could share his story. After spending some time with Matt, hearing his story and his love for Jesus, and seeing how high he can jump, we believe the world needs to know more about this man.

Matt is a humble guy and many who know him probably have no idea the path he took to become one of the highest jumpers in US history. Not only does he have a Silver from the Athens Olympics, but he also holds the US indoor high-jump record to this day. He is a family man who now loves to hoop and dunk on people. It’s probably why he never tells anyone he’s an Olympic High Jumper.

Trey Canard

AMA Supercross and Motocross Champion

What an experience! Trey Canard is not only a 2x Motocross Champion, but he is a great host. This was hands down one of our favorite shoots, and it was because Trey hooked me up with my own bike and taught me how to ride. It also was memorable because of how Trey took care […]

Alvin Davis

National League Rookie of the Year in the MLB

I could have spent all 20 days with this guy. Alvin Davis is a breath of fresh air for anyone he comes into contact with. Better known as “Mr. Mariner”—or, as he likes to be called, “A.D.”—this former MLB All-Star and Rookie of the Year (in his first year with the Seattle Mariners) is so […]

Justin Forsett

NFL Pro Bowl Running Back

We got introduced to Justin through one of our other documentary athletes, NBA Veteran, Anthony Tolliver.

If I hit a […]

NFL Hall of Fame, Bengals Offensive Lineman

Anthony Muñoz is considered one of the best offensive linemen of all time. His ranking and reputation within the NFL are second to none. After spending the day with Anthony, you will find out why.

Ben Smith

CrossFit Champion

We had several wonderful surprises while on the road for 20 days. One of the biggest (literally and figuratively) was Ben Smith.

Brady Stewart

World Bench Press Champion

I honestly didn’t know it was possible for a person to bench press 800 plus pounds. It’s no secret to anyone who knows me that weightlifting is not my thing. Usually, a day filled with lifting weights would be a total nightmare, but not on this day! Eight-time U.S. National Bench Press Team member Brady […]

Damien Hobgood

15-year Pro Surfer

Meet Pro Surfer Damien Hobgood. Yeah, the guy I witnessed surf better switch foot than most guys can regular foot. Damien surfed for 14 years on the World Championship Tour. This is no easy feat as the tour only allows 32 guys to participate each year. Beyond his amazing surfing skills and lengthy pro career, […]

Chris Burke

3-time All American & Second Baseman/Outfielder Houston Astros

Chris Burke is a former MLB player, an all-around solid dude, and a three-time All-American stud if you’re counting. His claim to fame came while he was playing for the Houston Astros and hit a walk-off home run in the 16th inning of a big play-off game. He’s a great storyteller, which makes him great […]

This was not your typical interview. First off, it’s Jennie Finch—the face of women’s softball and an Olympic gold and silver medalist. Jennie lives in Louisiana, where Hurricane Laura had just hit.

Jessica has a story you almost can’t believe. From injury […]

Darryl Strawberry

4-time World Series Champion & 8-time All Star in MLB

I am still in awe of the day we had with Darryl Strawberry. For three years in the 1980’s, I suited up in a Mets uniform in my Pony League Team. This was when the man I looked up to was dominating Major League Baseball. Never did I think I would actually get a chance […]

The Professor

Streetball Legend

Our paths crossed over a decade ago on the set of the Will Ferrell movie, Semi-Pro. Later, through our bond of hoops and our love for Jesus, a friendship was formed. How did Grayson Boucher, a.k.a. The Professor, and I go from meeting on a movie set to having this streetball legend in my Life […]

Psalm Wooching

USA National Team and Union Rugby Player

At 6’9” tall, I don’t often feel small, so I was shocked when the big guy Psalm Wooching, a pro Rugby player and former University of Washington linebacker, told me he felt small—because that’s exactly how I felt next to him! Psalm is a stud with a soft heart and a game in which he […]

Miles McPherson

Defensive Back, San Diego Chargers – Pastor of the Rock Church

Miles and I go waaaaaaaaay back! After playing Defensive Back for the San Diego Chargers, Miles felt the call of God to become a pastor, and this is where I would first meet him. It was fun to surprise Pastor Miles with the news that he was actually my youth pastor when I was as […]

Although he’s past his competing days, watch Matt jump just once and you can see next-level ability. Matt’s Olympic Silver […]

Leah Amico

3-time NCAA & Gold Medal Champion in Softball

Our very first interview was with Leah. We somehow picked the hottest day of the year and decided to hit softballs in the sun. She was so gracious as our team worked through some first-day hiccups. She never once complained about the heat, and all the extra time gave all of us an insight into […]

Shaun Alexander

NFL MVP, Running Back, Seattle Seahawks

It’s not every day that you get to hang with an MVP from the National Football League. If you have been around football at all, you know about Shaun Alexander… a.k.a., Mr. Touchdown. This exceptional running back has set records and won the highest trophy in his game, but his heart belongs to Jesus. Although […]

Steele Johnson

Olympic Silver Medalist in Diving

I never thought I would find myself in the Indiana countryside in the middle of Fall, diving into a freezing cold pool with an Olympic Silver Medalist. I still have not defrosted from my time with Steele Johnson, but it was totally worth it. From the day Steele and I got connected, he has been […]

Todd McMillon

NFL Defensive Back, Chicago Bears

Even after I showed up in my Green Bay Packers jersey, Todd and I instantly hit it off. As we swapped stories and enjoyed a little natural Bear/Packer trash talk, this former Chicago Bear cornerback smiled and laughed. Though he’s considered small for the NFL, Todd McMillon has proven God works through adversity. His journey […]
