Greenville FCA

Do you ever wonder why you coach?

What drives you to step onto the field, court or pitch day after day, guiding young athletes toward their goals?

For some, coaching is just a profession. And for others, it isn’t just a profession; it’s a calling, a purpose that’s deeply rooted in their heart.

But life has a way of leading us down unexpected paths. As you grow older, your love for sports finds a new purpose. It isn’t about reliving your own dreams; it is about imparting knowledge, instilling values and offering opportunities to young athletes.

In 2 Timothy 1:9, the Bible reminds us of God’s purpose and grace: “He has saved us and called us to a holy life — not because of anything we have done but because of His own purpose and grace.” Coaching isn’t about our own accomplishments or the recognition we receive.
It’s a calling - a divine purpose. Just as God has called us to live a holy life, He has called you to guide and mentor young athletes. It’s a calling that predates our own understanding, as the verse reminds us that God’s grace was given to us before the beginning of time.

So, why do you coach?...
As you reflect on your own coaching journey, consider the deeper purpose behind it.

”... to take off your former way of life, the old self that is corrupted by deceitful desires, to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, the one created according to God’s likeness in righteousness and purity of the truth.” -Ephesians 4:22-24

After a successful ‘Reset,’ it is time to ‘RENEW.’
Let God renew your heart, mind and life. Find out what your why is. What is your purpose as a coach or athlete?

As you are renewed in Christ, you are given a new purpose in your life: To spread the Gospel and live your life for Jesus. As you step out into this new purpose and power, you will begin to see your life transformed.

As you step out into this new purpose and power, you will begin to see your life transformed.?
This is the focus: Through Christ, I have a new identity and purpose in Him.

Hey Coach, have you been experiencing burnout? How has it made you feel?

What can you do to rest deeply in Jesus instead?
In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus says:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Time for you to ‘Be Still’ and spend time away from distractions and be with God.

When you take time to be still, it’s not just for physical, mental or emotional rest. As an athlete, a reset is a new way of thinking or doing things, which will free you up to be the best athlete, student, friend or family member that you can be.

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends - John 15:13

One of the best feelings in athletics is that new shoe feeling. The box opens, and the shoes are fresh, clean and pristine. No stains, no marks, no creases. But after just one wear, they aren’t brand new anymore. Even if the shoe looks the same, the bottom sole is already dirty and worn.

In our lives as Christian athletes, we understand the soles of shoes. But look at the soul of our hearts. Have we broken in our faith by wearing our faith? Have we run to tell others about Jesus? Have we walked out our faith?

Or, like new shoes, is our faith on the shelf, not being used or creased? The sole of new shoes stays beautiful by not being worn. The soul of our heart stays beautiful by spreading the Good News.

24/7 As competitors, we always dream of something Greater. We train tirelessly to reach our potential, seeking approval from teammates, coaches and fans. Join us as we learn what it means to go from performance to purpose and discover God's greater purpose for your life as a coach or athlete.
