Jake and Jarred answer our question of the month and challenge coaches to create an elevator-pitch story. The hard work is discerning the correct amount to share to gain connection, but not overwhelming our students with unhelpful detail.

Jake is flying solo this episode and discusses in very little detail the phenomenon, Squid Game. He also spends time talking about simple ways to hang out with your students off the weekends.

In this episode Jarred rewinds back to May of 2021 when our guest speaker from Coach Night , Kurt Johnston, shared a powerful message for all coaches. Kurt has been leading the way in youth ministry for more than 3 decades at Saddleback Church, and his inspiration and encouragement is well worth your time!
