Coach Clint Dean

Coach Clint Dean is a longtime football coach, educator, administrator, and mentor who writes from the intersection of faith, athletics, and character formation. Through years spent around locker rooms, practice fields, sidelines, classrooms, and school communities, he has seen how a season can shape far more than a scoreboard.

His devotional work is written for coaches and players who want to compete with purpose, lead with integrity, and keep Christ at the center of the grind. Clint’s heart is to help athletes and leaders see football as more than a game, but as a place where discipline, humility, toughness, and faith are refined.

Clint is blessed to share life with his wife, whose love, support, and faithfulness have shaped every season of his journey.

He is the author of Refining Fire: An In-Season Weekly Devotional for Football Coaches and Refining Fire: Players’ Edition.
