What do you do when your dream doesn't work out? How do you handle a coach who doesn't believe in you? And how do you raise a great athlete without making sports their entire identity?
Welcome to RAC Taught Me, hosted by Savannah Bananas LF and creator Coach RAC.
Each episode tackles one question about sports, faith, parenting, or life. Drawing from his experiences in pro ball, coaching, and building an unconventional career, RAC shares the lessons he's learned, the mistakes he's made, and the questions he's still working through.
“Winners never quit, and quitters never win.”
We've all heard it. But is it actually true?
Sometimes perseverance is exactly what we need. Other times, refusing to quit can keep us trapped in something we're no longer called to do.
In this episode of RAC Taught Me, Coach RAC explores one of life's toughest questions: How do you know when it's time to keep pushing, and when it's time to walk away?
Drawing from his own baseball journey, personal experiences, and Scripture, RAC discusses the danger of tying our identity to our accomplishments, the difference between adversity and a genuine reason to change direction, and why quitting isn't always failure.
The goal isn't to become someone who never quits. It's to be faithful wherever God has placed you.

Does God care if you win or lose? | E03
Every weekend, thousands of athletes pray before their games. Afterward, the winning team thanks God for the victory. But what about the losing team? Did God not hear their prayers?
In Episode 3 of RAC Taught Me, Coach RAC tackles a question that Christian athletes often wrestle with: Does God actually care if you win or lose?
Through Scripture and his experiences in professional baseball, RAC explores what it means to compete for God's glory, whether it's selfish to pray for a win, and how our motivations can shape the way we approach sports.
You'll also hear three practical principles for Christian athletes: pursuing excellence, celebrating victories with humility, and finding purpose in defeat.
Because ultimately, the most important thing about your athletic career might have nothing to do with your record.
