A sports chaplain provides pastoral care for the sports community, including athletes, coaches, administrators and their families. In 2017, a Global Summit of Sports Chaplaincy ministries defined sports chaplaincy as “ongoing pastoral and spiritual care, by permission, to those of faith or no faith, for the holistic well-being of all involved in the community of sport.”[1] Different sports and cultures may adopt the practice of sports chaplaincy but under different titles, such as sports mMentor, life coach or character coach. Consequently, the practical outworking of sports chaplaincy in wide in scope, but broadly fits into 5 models of delivery[2] and is primarily a relational approach.[3]
Sports chaplains come from various walks of life. Most commonly, they are ministers or full-time Christian workers but chaplaincy work is done without charge or financial remuneration. Often, chaplains to a particular sport are former participants in that sport. This helps the chaplain to not only provide spiritual support and guidance to a player, but helps them relate to the challenges facing the participant.
