A better way to coach.
Character Coaching
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME A CHARACTER COACH?
The Northern Colorado FCA staff have spent a lot of time discussing the best course of action to equip a Character Coach for being a part of a team. Below is the process that we have created to better train and equip our Character Coaches:
- Register for the upcoming Character Coach Training Course
- During the course, you will fill out the Ministry Leadership Application & sign the Character Coach Agreement
- Once the Character Coach Training Course is completed, sit down with your assigned FCA Staff Member to talk about placement
- Get placed to a specific team!
WHO CAN BE A CHARACTER COACH?
A wide variety of people can serve the people of sport as Character Coaches. One does not need to 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
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.

You are more than a coach.
You’re a leader.
A guide.
A mentor.
Your athletes look up to you for guidance in every area of life—physical, mental, emotional, relational, financial and spiritual. But, you can’t give what you don’t already have.
