BE A CHARACTER COACH
Why is a Character Coach needed?
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.
We expect a game plan for coaching the X’s and O’s of our sport. What isn’t always clear is how to coach character. Over time we have seen an ever-growing gap develop between coaching the fundamental aspects of a specific sport and the development of quality character. Character Coaches exist to fill this crucial gap in developing the complete athlete.
CHARACTER COACH VS. CHAPLAIN
CHARACTER COACH VS. CHAPLAIN
When discussing the role of a Character Coach it is important to know the difference between a Character Coach and a Chaplain. Both roles are critically important but distinctively different. Which role you play with a team is determined by the audience. When it comes to using sports to reach out youth, Character Coaching is the ultimate "stand-in-the-gap" position you could ever imagine.
WHO CAN BE A CHARACTER COACH
A wide variety of people can serve the people of sport as Character Coaches. One need not be a sport ministry professional to faithfully serve and to significantly impact the lives of coaches and athletes.
Among those who could serve as in these roles are:
Parents of players in youth sports (school based teams or club sports).
Coaches of youth sports teams, school based teams or coaches at higher levels of sport.
Community leaders with an interest in developing character.
Athletic trainers or other support personnel with sports teams.
Pastors or other ministry professionals.
Church members who desire to make an impact by serving others.
