take the first step

Fatherhood holds a profound purpose. Are you looking to embrace your full potential as a dad? We can help. ​

01.

With young children

“I feel like I’m constantly frustrated with my kids. How can I better manage my attitude and my ability to communicate more effectively?“

You’re just learning that you have a whistle — and that you don’t know what exactly to do with it. Together, we’ll work on how to build into your children’s lives during their most impressionable and moldable years to protect them from unwanted influences, while being strategic and intentional with them to create space for your influence to make a positive difference for years to come.

02.

With teenagers

“My kids seem to be pulling away from me. What can I do to reconnect and strengthen our bond?“

You’ve probably been using your whistle for awhile, but the early game plan isn’t working anymore. Together, let’s open a new playbook that helps you gradually open doors for your kids. In this stage of life, you are preparing them for what they will face on the other side of adolescence, while also recognizing they have a mind of their own.

03.

With young adults – and beyond

“My children, like many other children, don’t always make the best decisions for themselves. How can I mentor them and not shame when they make mistakes?“

You’re almost an empty nester, or maybe your kids are already out into the world. Let’s work together to explore how you can still coach them. You will always have a voice — but depending on how and when you use it will determine if your children still hear you.

How Coach4Life can assist

One-on-One Coaching

Individual sessions are focused on giving every dad the practical tools and strategies he needs to be present and equipped to step into life circumstances requiring his wisdom, love and shepherding. They are available in person and via video conferencing.

Group Huddles

These informal gatherings are held in in various locations, bringing
together groups of 4-5 or even 10-12 men. “Huddles” offer a valuable
environment for mutual growth, much like the biblical principle of “iron
sharpening iron.” In this setting, men can learn new skills, exchange ideas
and strategies, and foster strong bonds with others who share similar goals.

Serve It Up

Exceptional memories and break-through moments often happen when a dad takes time out of his busy schedule to serve alongside his children. Coach4Life service experiences open the door for a dad to teach many life lessons during an event and afterwards. Timeouts are arranged for fathers and their children of all ages — or for the entire family.

COACHING COACHES

The world of athletic coaching has changed dramatically in the last decade. If you’re looking to become a coach who inspires young athletes to be their best — developing their heart, soul, mind and strength — let Coach4Life help you establish a game plan. Coach4Life provides mentorship for coaches of athletic teams.

Praise for Coach4Life

Tim is a solid leader and excellent facilitator. I was thrilled when he started a coaching ministry involving small groups of men with shared values, goals, and phase of life because I’m always looking for ways to improve my walk in the faith, and my leadership at home and in my business.  I receive a lot of value from each meeting and highly recommend Coach4Life. Just wish I had this a few years earlier!
JOE BENEDETTO, PresidentElkstone Basements
Tim has great experience as a dad, teacher, coach and follower of Christ. He combines this experience with a calm, wise spirit to make Coach4Life an experience you don’t want to miss.
CHRISTIAN THURSTONE, M.D.
Tim challenges men to up their game as husbands and fathers, while deepening their relationship with God. His approach is one of confidence and encouragement, giving practical calls to action through Christian background, perspective and understanding.  Over the course of a year, I attended an early morning session Tim led, and continued benefiting from camaraderie and fellowship with members of the group. Initially it wasn’t easy to accommodate the time slot, but I soon found myself blocking my work and travel schedule so I could attend consistently.
