One-On-One with Huddle Leader, Madison Tarleton

Madison Tarleton is a senior student-athlete here at the College of Charleston. To the members of FCA, she is the face of the huddle. Tarleton is the Huddle leader and sometimes referred to the "unofficial FCA president." She comes prepared every week with a theme for the group's devotional and leads the conversation during the Huddle.

"FCA has been a great way to meet other Christian athletes," Tarleton says. "I think it's good that most of all our devotionals are related to sports...it really helps people understand their situation in a different lens they they normally would."

I had the chance to get a more in-depth look at how FCA has impacted and affected Tarleton's life. Watch the video below to learn more.

Madison Tarleton will sure be missed next year when we embarks on the next journey of her life post graduation. However, the members of FCA look forward to next (and final) semester with Tarleton.

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes guides the lives of Student-Athletes

Recently, I had the chance to speak with members of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) at the College of Charleston. FCA is a religious organization that is known across the nation. On the College of Charleston campus, FCA is for registered student-athletes and is a group that meets once a week to talk about the word of God. The unique element about FCA is how they analyze the scripture they study. The scripture is broken down into ways that relate to an athletic life and really uses examples that the student-athletes can relate to and apply on a daily basis. Take a look at the video below to hear what FCA means to six of the members at the College of Charleston.



The group is organized by Emmett Morgan as what FCA refers to as a "huddle leader." Mr. Morgan will soon be featured on my blog in Q&A (stay tuned!).  Madison Tarleton is the senior student-athlete of the group who leads conversations and provides the scripture alongside of Mr. Morgan. FCA is a great way for student-athletes to come together, share their religion, and take their next step in the right direction...whatever that step may be!
