Matt & Emily Oberlin equipping coaches AND players on and off the field through our global football ministry with athletes in action

Every day there are thousands of football players worldwide that feel lost and alone in an environment that can be difficult to navigate. Difficult unless you are searching and playing for something greater than yourself.

These are the times when athletes are trying to find themselves - and we want them to find themselves through the love of Jesus Christ.

Our vision?

Connect the Community. Change the Culture. Win the World.

Our vision is to create a community of believers that can connect and grow together and spread the word of God through the sport of football.

At Athletes in Action, we desire to have a Christian on Every Team, in Every Sport, in Every Nation. Our family is privileged to be working with the Global Football Ministry to further this goal.

As we work with coaches and athletes, we want them to thrive on and off the field. We strive to develop the TOTAL ATHLETE. Not only will they be bigger, faster, and stronger but we will also help them mature emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

How will we accomplish this?

With the creation of programs:

• Christian Football Coaches Association- connecting and training coaches who are trying to lead athletes in a Godly way.
• Christian Football Players Association- creating a database of players to connect with future programs and to each other.
• Christian Football Mentorship Program- connect players looking to move to the next level of football with those that have already made that transition.
• Pro Day/Draft Prep Residency Academy- this academy will help draft eligible athletes physically prepare themselves for the biggest day of their career; while also giving them the tools to be better leaders and Christians on and off the field.
• Other Programs- Captains Camps, Team Retreats, Coaches Clinics, Youth Camps, International Mission Trips and many more.

We want to:

Win them for Christ

Build their faith

Send them out to show the world what a life in Christ can accomplish.
