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.


WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME A CHARACTER COACH?

The Larimer County 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:


  1. Register for the upcoming Character Coach Training Course
  2. During the course, you will fill out the Ministry Leadership Application & sign the Character Coach Agreement
  3. Once the Character Coach Training Course is completed, sit down with your assigned FCA Staff Member to talk about placement
  4. 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
