Coaching Sports Chaplaincy

In delivering Sports Chaplaincy Training:

• Some people Teach Sports Chaplaincy.
• Other people Coach Sports Chaplaincy.
• Still other people Mentor Sports Chaplaincy.

Today we’ll discuss Coaching Sports Chaplaincy. We who train sports chaplains (character coaches) focus on the development of skills and use questions to help the trainee discover the why and how that shape their expressions of it. We who coach sports chaplains strive for understanding and processes that deliver excellent ministry. As we discuss ideas, options, strategies, and methods with trainees, we aim to help them apply the ideas to their local contexts; the community, the club or institution, the team, the coaching staff, and the competitors.

If you coach sports chaplaincy as your method of training, do it with patience and thoughtfulness. Coaching takes time and intentional leadership. Coaching sports chaplaincy will lead to depth of service, excellent ministry, and long-lasting results.
