Since 1992 El Paso FCA has hosted its Victory Banquet to honor the outstanding athletes and adult volunteers that make our ministry thrive. We also join together to raise funds to send kids to FCA Camps, provide resources to grow our local staff, host annual events for kids and coaches, and send coaches to marriage retreat and enrichment camp. We want to impact our community for Christ!

Our Speaker:

Stephen Mackey

Stephen Mackey, better known to tens of thousands of students and educators as Coach Mackey, is a player development coach, and Wall Street Journal Best Selling author.

In January 2017, Mackey asked the question: “What would it take to help one million athletes and coaches connect the dots between sports and life?” The answer to that question became 2Words Character Development (www.2words.tv). Built on the Six Pillars—Tough people win, integrity over everything, growth follows belief, excellence everywhere, relentless effort, and service before self— 2Words has become one of the top leadership and character curriculums in the country; and in 2021, became the official character development curriculum of the Texas High School Coaches Association.

Drawing upon the lessons learned as a coach and entrepreneur, the people he meets, and the teams he serves, Mackey helps businesses build better teams; school districts serve their students; and, teams and organizations across disciplines reach

their goals, and impact their community.

Mackey’s first book, coauthored with Damon West, is called The Locker Room: How Great Teams Heal Hurts, Overcome Adversity, and Build Unity Wiley Publishing), and debuted on the Wall Street Journal Best Sellers List in May of 2022. Among his many

accomplishments, Mackey is most proud of his role as a devoted husband to his wife, Teressa, and father to their four kids.
