Why Pastors and High School Head Coaches have similar jobs: THREAD
1. Both coaches & pastors are semi-public figures in the community. They occasionally appear at community events, speak publicly outside of their workplace, and are covered by local press (and sometimes beyond).

2/2 Both coaches and pastors tend to be modestly paid, although they must interact as peers with people of all socio-economic classes, including people who make much more and much less than they do.
3/3 Both coaches and pastors have to build and maintain multiple constituencies, many of whom are volunteers.
4/4Both coaches & pastors have people attending their main events (games/Sunday gatherings) who believe they are well qualified to evaluate & vocally critique the performance of the leader. Many critics have ATTENDED these events over the yrs & so assume that they could lead one.
5/5 Both coaches and pastors have GIGANTIC impact at some of the most critical times of life for the people that they influence.
6/6At their best, both coaches and pastors teach lessons that last literally for a lifetime and are often passed on to future generations.
7/7 I am so grateful for the pastors and coaches that God placed in my life and in the lives of my children. I support them, pray for them, stay in touch with them, and thank them. These men & women are some of the greatest gifts from God to me and my family.
