In this episode of The FCA Locker Room, we sit down with Meg Michel — softball coach, youth leader, and prospective FCA Hudson Valley staff member — to talk about what it really means to coach for something bigger than wins and losses.

Meg’s journey started on the softball field at just four years old. From varsity captain to collegiate athlete, and now Head Coach of a 16U travel program, the game has always been part of her story. But what’s even more powerful is how God has used the game to shape her calling.

We talk about:

• How coaching became ministry
• Leading prayer and Bible studies with her teams
• Inviting athletes into church and real faith conversations
• Helping players understand their identity beyond stats and performance
• The tension (and courage) of living out your faith publicly in sports
• And her growing call to serve through FCA in Orange County

Meg shares what it looks like to be salt and light in dugouts, on bus rides, and in everyday conversations with athletes who are searching for purpose.

If you’re a coach, athlete, or parent wondering how faith can be woven into sport in a genuine and impactful way — this episode will encourage you.

Because the field isn’t just a place to compete. It’s a place to disciple.
