Resources for Character Coaches and Sports Chaplains - Cross Training Publishing

One of the requests I hear most consistently from character coaches and sports chaplains is for resources. Over the next couple of months I will be highlighting several different websites containing a wide variety of resources. Some have videos, some written resources, some are podcasts, and a couple have all those and more.

 

One of the best sites for written resources in the USA is Cross Training Publishing from Nebraska. I certainly am biased in my opinion because Cross Training and its owner, GordonThiessen, have published 14 projects for me.

Cross Training Publishing has materials specifically designed for ministry with players, coaches, teams, sports camps, and more. There are scores of devotional books, sports biographies, and character development books. In addition, if you're buying materials for a team or coaching staff, Cross Training Publishing offers bulk discounts. They also offer discounts to Fellowship of Christian Athletes staff. Please check them out, you won't be disappointed.

Resources for Character Coaches and Sports.Chaplains - Verite' Sport

 One of the requests I hear most consistently from character coaches and sports chaplains is for resources. Over the next couple of months I will be highlighting several different websites containing a wide variety of resources. Some have videos, some written resources, some are podcasts, and a couple have all those and more.


The first resource site I would like to heartily recommend to you is Verité Sport. https://www.veritesport.org/ 




Verité Sport is a remarkable site developed by my friend and colleague from Oxford, England, Stuart Weir. Stuart is a veteran of ministry in sport and is among the most highly revered leaders in that global network.

Stuart has a large number of resources in English, and a good array in other languages. In addition, Stuart's site includes the most complete set of book reviews for publications on sport and ministry in sport I have ever seen. If you're a reader, this listing contains a wealth of information and can guide you to some excellent reading.

Please check out Verité Sport and its wealth of resources. https://www.veritesport.org/
