I’m Andre Calder, a sports storyteller and visual journalist based in North Texas. My passion is capturing the stories that live beyond the scoreboard. Moments of faith, perseverance, and redemption that define athletes across every sport.
Whether it’s the quiet focus before a serve, the locker room prayer after a loss, or the long road back from injury, I believe every arena, field, and court holds a story worth telling. My goal is to uncover the human side of competition, the drive, discipline, and belief that turn ordinary moments into something extraordinary.
Over the past decade, I’ve documented athletes from all levels and backgrounds, each with a journey that reminds us why sports matter. As a contributor to The Heartland Journal, I aim to highlight those powerful intersections of faith, struggle, and triumph. Stories that inspire us all to keep going, both in the game and in life.
