Appropriate to In the Bleachers, the Apostle Paul was very familiar with the ancient games of Greece.
This appreciation was reflected in his letter to the church at Corinth:
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be denied that which is eternal. (1Cor9:24-27)
