Hi everyone, I'd like to get some insight from anyone who would like to help. My daughter is about to start college in a town 4 hours from home. It's a christian college, and she was recruited with a full scholarship to play soccer there. Her current high school coach recruited her. This coach is going to be the new college coach. My daughter has been playing soccer with her for a couple of years and she kind of took my daughter under her wing. My daughter recently disclosed to us that she found out that her coach is a homosexual. She has a "wife" and two kids. I am so worried about my daughter being so far away from home. The coach will be the only person she knows, and will be a big influence on her. Part of me is screaming no way, and part of me is thinking that it's a christian school , full scholarship, and my daughter knows right from wrong. Help.

Hi buzzy1!
I can understand your concerns. It appears that your daughter and her coach have had a relationship in regard to soccer already. Have you ever had reservations about the coach before? Most likely, the only interest the coach has in your daughter is sports. I don't think she (the coach) would be interested in trying to "recruit" your daughter in regard to her sexuality. If your daughter is grounded in her faith, and I assume she is based on the fact that she chose a Christian college, that is where she will focus. Talk to your daughter about it. Pray about it together. Give God control.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Jesus Christ." Phil 4:6-7

Trust in your daughter, and Him!

Hey, and welcome to CC. Just what little advice I can give - I know someone who was a student in a very similar situation, and ended up "realizing" that "deep down inside," she was a homosexual too. So... there's that. However, Your daughter will meet LOTS of people in college, and even though it is a Christian college, she'll meet people that are good influences, and people that aren't. The only thing I would say is, rely on what you've seen in your daughter. If she has had boyfriends, dated a lot, etc, I wouldn't worry. If she hasn't, I would be more reserved... but in any case, just talk to her and express your concern. That would definitely be the best course of action.
