As a coach, you are uniquely able to fill the role as mentor and role model for the players on your team. Because many players grow up without loving, present fathers, you are in a position to validate their potential, establish authority, confer identity, and provide a level of security to each player.
Coaching for Life is designed to support you as you teach the game of football while connecting it to Biblical stories that instill the values your players will need in their daily lives. Additionally, each practice session highlights God as our Father, the Ultimate Coach in our lives. Our hope is that these sessions will be embedded into the heart of each player and will lead each player to true life.
This manual is suitable for coaches of soccer/football teams of players from about 10 years of age through to young adults.
