On this Coach and Coordinator Podcast, we bring you a story of transformation, resilience, and the unyielding spirit of coaching.
We sit down with Zach Crespo, a former college football coach who transitioned from the high-stakes world of coaching in the Power 5 to a fulfilling career that keeps him close to the game he loves.
Zach's journey is marked by dedication, adaptability, and the courage to balance professional ambition with personal fulfillment. From his early days as a student assistant at the University of Central Florida under legendary coach George O'Leary, to coaching at top-tier programs, Zach's experiences have shaped him into a mentor and leader off the field.
Zach shares the lessons he learned in college football, the pivotal moments that led him to step away from coaching, and how he found new purpose and success with Vertical Raise, a company revolutionizing fundraising for athletic programs.
Zach's story resonates with situations we all must face within our careers. The crossroads he faced are something we all reflect on. I know every year in November I get calls from college coaches contemplating what their next steps are inside or outside of the game. For Zach, it led to a lucrative career while still getting his coaching fix as a “fundraising coach.”
While Zach decided a pivot was necessary, his insight is valuable to any coach inside or outside of the game right now, especially as you think about how you develop your skills and relationships.
