Certified Shepherd Coach
For Christian Coaches Wanting to Make an Impact
If you’re a Christian coach who wants to make your life and your sports teams count for God’s Kingdom, becoming a Shepherd Coach could be the right choice for you.
This certification course is ideal for head coaches, assistant coaches, and athletic directors of any sport at every level. Upon completion of the course, you will have a better understanding of what it means to lead like Jesus and introduce his culture to both the Christian and public school athletic cultures.
“that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
What to Expect
After an initial Zoom meeting introduction where we get to know one another and set your unique goals and expectations, the 8-week course will begin.
