CHARACTER COACHES
Golden Isles FCA needs YOUR help!
Our Children, who are our greatest asset and hope for the future, are under attack as never before. We need men and women who love the Lord and who are committed to impact our teams for Jesus Christ through the influence of Athletes and Coaches!
What is an FCA Character Coach?
“Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.”
This ancient wisdom still holds true! If anyone knows this, it is the coach. The content of a player’s heart will eventually play itself out in some way. One of the most important roles coaches play in preparing players for competition and life is to give them a chance to develop good character.
With greater demand for success based on wins and losses Head Coaches have found an FCA Character Coach to be a great asset. Having this designated support personnel allows the Head Coach to stay current with the players’ issues without losing the macro perspective the job requires.
What are the roles of the FCA Character Coach?
Character Coaches could take on a number of different roles, but all of them stem from the role of a servant-leader. Here are some other common ones.
Lead and coordinate chapel services.
Provide personal care to players, coaches and support staff.
Alert the coach to critical issues that could affect his or her program.
Be available and equipped at all times to help in crisis situations.
Provide training and resources for character development.
Pray for, encourage and exhort players, coaches, coaches’ families and support staff.
