At the heart of FCA are coaches. Our role is to minister to these men and women by encouraging and equipping them to know and serve Christ.
FCA ministers to coaches through Bible studies, staff contacts, prayer support, discipleship and mentoring, Behind the Bench (a program for coaches wives), resources, outreach events, national and local conventions, conferences and retreats.
Locally, we have Legacy and R12 Coaches studies and offer 3-Dimensional Coaches training throughout the year.
Legacy Studies
The Legacy Builder Discipleship Series is a comprehensive system that encourages, equips and empowers Coaches to live and coach biblically for the glory of God. The Series contains timeless biblical principles that can change your life. If you learn and apply the simple principles and techniques, you will know the joy of living for the glory of God, according to the Word of God, and by the power of God, and you will become a Legacy Builder!
The Series consists of three dynamic, 12-week studies that are strategic in progression, yet simple of scope. Solid biblical truths and principles are taught in each lesson along with a challenge to apply that truth to your coaching, family, and daily life. It is when that biblical truth is applied and passed on to others that the culture of sport is impacted forever.
R12 Coach
R12Coach.com is FCA’s discipleship process specifically for coaches. It is an online companion to the r12 Coach printed study guide and DVD available for purchase. It includes more than 30 additional teaching videos from Living on the Edge Ministries teacher and former athlete/coach Chip Ingram.
3-Dimensional Coach
At FCA, our desire is to help coaches become ―R12 Coaches. That’s a fancy term for a coach who is deliberately and intentionally coaching their athletes in all three dimensions… mind, body, and spirit. We feel like this effort to coach beyond the 1st Dimension (strength, power, cardiovascular, speed, quickness, technique, repetition, tac-tics) certainly can help you achieve the results you are after on the scoreboard. More importantly, however, we feel that coaching in the 2nd Dimension (motivation, confi-dence, intensity, focus, emotions, mental imagery, goal setting, team cohesion) with the intent of capturing the hearts of your athletes (3rd Dimension), will lead to true significance, as you play an instrumental role in the internal transformation of the athletes who have been entrusted to your care.
