"People ask questions like this of all-star athletes and gold medalists, famous CEOs and successful politicians alike. It's an attempt to unlock some wisdom, uncover some secret approach, or expose some special trick that must be the reason why such high levels of achievement were accomplished," Curry wrote. "The question has never stumped me. For me, the answer's not even all that complicated."
Curry has been vocal about his faith for years, and also wrote about his faith playing a part in his continued success.
"I've always believed that success for anyone is all about drive, dedication and desire, but for me, it's also been about confidence and faith," Curry wrote. "To excel at the highest level — or any level, really — you need to believe in yourself, and hands down, one of the biggest contributors to my self-confidence has been private coaching."
Earlier this year, he took time out to reflect on his Christian faith when speaking to Christian sports apparel brand, Active Faith. According to the Christian athlete, his relationship with Jesus Christ started around middle school.
"My parents had us in church every Sunday, every Wednesday. It was more of a tradition at that point; I didn't have a personal relationship with the Lord until I went to the altar call one Sunday and the youth pastor told us to make a decision for ourselves," Curry told Active Faith. "The youth pastor told us we had to make a decision for ourselves, we couldn't rely on our parents. It had to be a decision on our own, and that's when I made it."
Curry went on to explain why he takes pride in his Christian faith.
"There are so many things we have to overcome in this life with Jesus, His work on the cross, He's paid the ultimate price for us, so I'm proud to be a child of God," Curry told Active Faith.
