About the host

Tom Sears

Tom Sears brings more than 20 years of experience in teaching, coaching, and educational administration to Built for the Game. He also carries nearly 25 years of pastoral leadership experience as a pastor and founder of a media ministry, which shapes the way he talks about leadership, character, and building something that lasts.

Most Athletic Directors and Coaches step into leadership because of experience in sport, not because anyone taught them to build communication systems, establish accountability, manage conflict, or lead an entire athletic department with clarity. Built for the Game exists to close that gap, with practical strategies for program culture, coach development, and everything else the job requires beyond the whistle.
