Coaching For Success

Develop as a Coach. Lead with Purpose.

Each year during the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Convention, The Trust hosts Coaching for Success, a professional development workshop designed exclusively for former NFL players who are coaching or interested in pursuing a coaching career.

Rooted in The Trust's commitment to continuous growth and development, Coaching for Success helps Former players build the knowledge, skills, and relationships needed to succeed in the coaching profession. Whether you're exploring your first opportunity, advancing through the ranks, or leading a program, the workshop provides valuable insights from respected coaches and industry leaders while connecting you with fellow Former Players pursuing similar goals.

Through sessions focused on leadership, communication, professional development, and football-specific learning, participants gain practical tools that support both their coaching careers and personal growth—reflecting The Trust's mission to empower former players to thrive beyond the game. 

Why Attend?

  • Learn from accomplished coaches, administrators, and industry professionals.
  • Expand your network within the coaching community. 
  • Strengthen leadership and communication skills that elevate your impact on and off the field. 
  • Gain practical strategies for navigating every stage of a coaching career. 
  • Connect with former players who share your passion for mentorship, leadership, and player development. 

Your playing experience is valuable. Coaching for Success helps you transform that experience into leadership, impact, and opportunity.
