Where My Heart Is Right Now

By Coach BC Castillo

If you’re reading this, thank you. I don’t know how you found your way here—maybe you’re a friend, a former student, a fellow parent, or just someone following a quiet nudge. However you arrived, I’m glad you did.

Because this is where I’m at.

Not just physically. Spiritually. Emotionally. Wholeheartedly.

In this moment, I’m standing in the middle of a storm I didn’t expect. A career door closed that I poured two decades of my life into. It happened fast, and it shook my foundation. But instead of crumbling, I’ve chosen to root deeper. Not in fear—but in faith. Not in blame—but in purpose. And through the dust, one truth remains: my heart is still called to serve.

That calling just looks different now.

I’ve been a coach, a teacher, a mentor, a father. I’ve poured my life into shaping young lives, believing in kids when they couldn’t yet believe in themselves. And though the platform has changed, the mission hasn’t. I still believe in kids. I still believe in families. I still believe in the power of faith, discipline, and love to transform lives.

Right now, my heart is with my wife Barbi—the light of our home—and my daughter Bella, whose strength and spirit inspire everything I do. We’re navigating new waters together. Some days feel uncertain. Some are full of laughter. But through it all, we are walking forward. Side by side. Trusting God. Holding tightly to the good.

I’m writing again. Creating. Building something new from the ashes of what was. Books, stories, devotionals, coaching tools. These aren’t just projects—they’re pieces of my soul, shaped by experience and lit by faith. I’m building this platform to share them with you—to lift others, to remind us all that no matter how dark it gets, there is always light to follow.

If you stay on this journey with me, I promise to show up with truth, with grace, and with the same heart I gave every student I ever coached:

a heart that believes greatness already lives within you.

This is just the beginning.

Thanks for walking with me.
