Episode Notes:

This powerful episode of the FCA North Georgia Coaches Podcast features Clint Fair, longtime FCA leader, former collegiate baseball standout, and a living testimony of redemption and restoration. Broadcasting from Longstreet Cafe in Gainesville, the conversation begins with championship football talk and transitions into an unforgettable personal journey that spans athletics, addiction, loss, faith, and calling.

Clint shares his rise as a standout athlete at Johnson High School and Georgia Southern, his experience in the prestigious Cape Cod League, and the devastating consequences of poor choices that changed his life forever. With honesty and humility, he walks listeners through addiction, incarceration, surrender, and ultimately a renewed life in Christ. Now in his 18th year with FCA, Clint oversees more than 60 counties across North Georgia, serving coaches and athletes with a mission to transform lives through faith and relationships.

This episode also dives into the evolving landscape of high school athletics, replay controversy in championship games, NIL trickle-down concerns, and the importance of purity, perspective, and patience in sports. It's a candid, heartfelt, and hope-filled conversation that reminds us all: God is never finished with your story.

Episode Notes:

In this episode, Joel Williams and FCA North Georgia's Clint Fair sit down with Chestatee High School Athletic Director & Assistant Principal Dave Bishop to pull back the curtain on what life is really like behind the scenes of a high school athletic program.

They talk about:

• What it means to be AP from 8–4 and AD after that

• How fast-growing sports like girls flag football, volleyball, girls wrestling, cross country and more are changing the calendar

• NIL and transfers at the high school level and what it's doing to the "purity" of prep sports

• The true cost of running a football program and why Friday nights are about much more than tickets and hot dogs

• How Chestatee is focusing on connectedness so more students find their place, whether it's sports, chorus, drama, skills competitions or CTAE programs

• Hosting the historic Lanierland basketball tournament finals and what it takes to serve the whole community well

• Dave's long FCA journey: from huddle coach at North Hall, to mission trips, to now sensing a call to pour back into coaches

Dave also shares how God led him into teaching, coaching, and now administration, and why his heartbeat is simple: help people wherever God puts him.
