Beyond the Whistle: Finding Balance & Priorities as a Coach
Coaching is more than just X’s and O’s—it’s a calling. But too often, coaches find themselves consumed by the pressure to win, the expectations of others, and the demands of the job, leaving little room for faith, family, and personal well-being. In this episode of The FCA Locker Room, we sit down with Nick Diluggo, FCA Eastern Connecticut Director, to tackle the challenge of finding balance as a coach.
We’ll discuss the pressures coaches face, the danger of letting coaching define your identity, and practical ways to prioritize faith, family, and personal well-being without sacrificing excellence in coaching. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, burned out, or struggled to balance your coaching life with your faith and relationships, this episode is for you.
Listen in for real talk, biblical wisdom, and actionable steps to help you coach with purpose—on and off the field.
