Coach Vince talking with athletes on the field

The Ride Home

What do you say after a tough game? Learn how to listen before giving advice, encourage your athlete after a setback, and bring prayer into the conversation.

Message RIDE HOME to Pastor Vince on Instagram for class updates.

What the class covers

A handout to work on with your student athlete and family

Listen before you advise

Learn how to hear what your athlete is really saying before jumping in with advice.

Encourage after a setback

What to say — and what not to say — after a bad game, a bench seat or a mistake.

Bring prayer into it

Simple ways to make prayer part of the conversation, not a lecture.

Take it to the next game

Three questions for the ride home

  1. 1Do you want me to listen, or are you ready to talk about the game?
  2. 2What felt hardest today?
  3. 3What's one thing you'd like to work on before the next game?

Pray together

“Jesus, thank You for being with us today. Help us learn from what happened and encourage each other. Amen.”
