Coaching Coaches For Christ—To Lead And Live For God’s Glory

Our Mission

GRIT Ministries exists to glorify God through equipping, encouraging, supporting, and challenging coaches to live for Christ.

Gospel

Advancing the Gospel by coaching coaches for Christ.

Relentless

Relentlessly challenging coaches to pursue Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Intentional

Intentionally equipping, purposefully encouraging, and deliberately challenging coaches.

Transformation

Applying the transforming power of Scripture to all areas of life.

"GRIT is strengthening those relationships between not only students and coaches but also parents and father figures in their lives, and there's such a need, especially for young men in today's culture, to have strong male role models to look up to."

Tyler Toney, Member of Dude Perfect

"A coach is an influential leader. It’s a person who makes an impact every day. Every word, every interaction is important for a coach, and I would say even more so now when face-to-face interactions are a little more rare with young people than they used to be."

Ashby Porter, Board Member of GRIT Ministries

"The single most important message we bring to coaches is this: wins and losses are a gift—but an even greater calling is winning souls. True victory goes beyond the scoreboard; it’s about leading others to the feet of Jesus."

Travis Labhart, Co-Founder of GRIT Ministries

"The impact of coaching goes far beyond the game—it’s about shaping lives. True fulfillment in coaching comes when it’s not just a job, but a calling that involves your entire family, your community, and a purpose greater than yourself."

Travis MaClain, Texas Coach

Step 1 - Equip

We coach coaches through one-on-one discipleship, training them in how to study the Scriptures and live out their faith in every aspect of life.

Step 2 - FELLOWSHIP

We provide coaches with accountability and friendship, carrying burdens, encouraging them in their calling and growth in Christ.

STEP 3 - LOVE

We sacrificially commit ourselves to coaches' lives. Whether valleys or mountaintops, victories or losses, we commit to speaking the Truth in love.

"GRIT has not only helped me grow spiritually, but they’ve provided the mentorship and support I needed to be a better leader, mentor, and coach. Thanks to GRIT, I no longer feel alone in this journey."

- TEXAS COACH

"Over the last two years of meeting with GRIT, I have seen my faith and understanding of the Bible grow significantly. It’s not always easy for me to fully grasp the depth of what’s being conveyed in Scripture, but GRIT has a unique ability to translate it in a way that makes sense."

- TEXAS COACH

"God truly speaks through GRIT, and He has used this group to transform my life and perspective. I often wish I had partnered with them earlier, but getting married, having a child, and navigating some tough challenges all happened in God’s perfect timing—and for that, I am forever grateful."
