What People Are Saying About FCA

Bobby Bowden, Head Football Coach, Florida State University

"I am involved because I believe that is one of the answers to America's problems. So many of the young men we coach come from broken homes without a father. The coaches have to become the father-figure. I think that when these boys go to FCA meetings and conferences, it prepares them for life.

"I've seen more boys turn their lives around through their affiliation with FCA than any other branch, other than maybe the church. The church still comes first for me, but FCA is at the very next level. If you're not going to get your kid in a church, get him into FCA, and he will want to get into a church.


"I've seen lives completely changed, especially when you send kids to FCA summer camps. Nothing affects kids like FCA!"

James Brown, Fox Sports

"I believe in the efforts of the FCA, having witnessed firsthand the commitment of its leaders, counselors and workers. There is nothing more important than preparing our young people to be successful in the game of life. I know so many youngsters who hunger for athletic success, and it's great for them to hear those who have been 'down that path' tell them about playing on His team, and also letting them know that being directed by the ultimate Coach is the equivalent to being on an eternal championship team."

John Wooden, legendary basketball coach, UCLA

"FCA is a great organization, and it serves an outstanding purpose. It is a wonderful opportunity for young people. I like to see how it has progressed at the various campuses throughout the country."


Tommie Harris, Jr., Chicago Bears

"[FCA] is a great organization that helps athletes keep a Christian outlook. Many times I think I'm the only one who's having a struggle or battle in life. FCA has taught me that other athletes are going through the same situations. It gave me a different perspective on how Christ works in different people."

tobyMac, Christian recording artist

"If we would take most opportunities and do with them what FCA has done with athletics to students, we'd be in a very good place right now. It's impressive to me because FCA is taking something that brings people together?athletics?and they're using that very thing that brings them together to make them walk together at a deeper level."

Teron Carter (a.k.a. Bonifide) of GRITS, Christian recording group

"The cool thing about FCA is they start influencing kids' lives at such an early stage, and they are able to take with them a foundation that carries them on into college. And when they get to college, they want to continue to be a part of it. It builds young people spiritually and builds character and integrity."
