Coaches Highlight: Reuben McCoy
When we will leave this world, each of us will leave behind a legacy. My hope is that my legacy will have made a difference in the lives of the athletes whom I have coached, and the coaches that I have been blessed to work alongside. I want to be remembered as a mentor who helped athletes be intentional about developing bonds with their teammates through their shared faith in God, and as a trusted and faithful colleague.
As the Assistant Coach for Syracuse Orange sprinters and hurdlers for the past 3 years, FCA has kept me grounded on the core principles to be a better person, which has been a humbling experience for me as a coach and colleague.
I have seen how the performance of younger athletes, as well as coaches, can be compromised when they don’t fully understand who they are in Christ. FCA’s influence has allowed our athletes to bond with each other, not only through a shared love of their sport, but through the common link of faith.
One of the things I value as a coach is the bonds that are developed among staff. The FCA coaches’ huddles, which provide a comforting atmosphere where we can share spiritual and worldly views, have helped develop stronger through the common bond of faith.
Thank you FCA for helping me continue to create the legacy I desire to leave behind!
