Coaches Highlight: Doug Porterfield

My desire to be involved with the development of young people is what has driven me to coach for the past 30 years. I have coached for 25 years at the high school level, and am in my 5 ^th season at Roberts Wesleyan College.

The most rewarding thing for me as a coach is watching the student-athletes I have had over the years find, pursue and achieve their dreams in life, and find their place in the larger community as they lean into their identity in Christ

Being at a Christian college, I have many Christian influences in my life.  FCA’s resources and coaches’ huddles provide new opportunities to discuss common issues and create a professional base of coaches who eventually become friends. The student huddles help provide leadership opportunities that help develop my players both physically and spiritually.

FCA’s ministry equips me with more resources to implement their multi-layered mission of ministering “to the coach and through the coach.” When my athletes remember me, I want them to say: We had a great team, and a coach who really cared and still cares.
