Around the world, athletes of every age, background and sport train to compete at their highest levels, searching for wins in local parks, all the way up to the biggest stages. With the help of coaches dedicated to growth and success, athletes have access to valuable insights, support that goes beyond the sidelines, and the voice of a mentor who can help learn lessons that are more than just the rules of the game.
On October 6, Republic FC will celebrate National Coaches Day with our friends from the Positive Coaching Alliance, a national non-profit that believes a positive, inclusive sports culture develops social and emotional skills, molds character, and prepares them for competition and life, and Coaching Corps, an organization that seeks to use sports and the power of coaches as vehicles for transformative change for youth in underserved communities.

The hour-long discussion will dive into Mark and Dennis’ time as players and coaches – from the impact on their playing and coaching careers, to the mentors and relationships that have helped them with players that have eventually taken to the professional fields. Along with Khali and Courtney, the panel will explore how coaching is essential to youth development and connected to community change and growth.
