Are you ready for Rio? There are only a few weeks left until the 2016 Summer Olympic Games begin. This past week, many of the Olympic Trials have been going on in order for athletes to earn their spot on their Olympic team.
Steele Johnson, a Team USA diver, is one of the men who earned his spot on the 2016 United States Olympic Dive Team alongside his synchro partner David Boudia. This will be David's third trip to the Olympics, but for Steele, it is his first. Not only should you look out for this duo when watching the Olympics, but if you want a behind-the-scenes look, Steele is your guy.
His mindset is rooted in Christ, which is incredibly admirable and I think really shows his genuine spirit. This quote from Steele in an interview after he found out he earned a spot on the Olympic team really speaks to his character:
"It's cool because this is exciting, this is fun, but it is not what my identity will be for the rest of my life. Yeah, I'm Steele Johnson the Olympian, but at the same time, I am here to love and serve Christ. My identity is rooted in Christ and not in the flips we're doing."

Steele, I wish you the best of luck. I cannot wait to continue watching your journey. Go for gold!
