Billy Sparacio, longtime athletic director and educator, rejoins the Grafted Together Podcast to discuss Kingdom athletics and how to forge deeper connections and discipleship through sports.

With close to 30 years of experience in high school athletics, Billy Sparacio is a seasoned and respected leader in the field. Billy has worked in both the Public and Private School arena, serving as a Classroom Teacher, P.E. Teacher and P.E. Department Chair.  He has also served for 17 years as an Athletic Director which includes oversight of multiple sport programs at the Middle and High School levels.  Known for his vision, dedication, and results-driven approach, in 2008 he launched a High School Athletic Program from the ground up with less than 100 high school students. Billy not only led the Athletic Program but he was responsible for raising capital for multi-million dollar athletic facilities. Under his leadership and commitment to excellence some 14 years later this culminated into a Football State Championship victory and the school was awarded the Floyd E. Lay Sunshine Cup and the Carey E. McDonald Award in Class 3A given to the Overall Florida Athletic Program of the Year. While earning these accolades and becoming an athletic powerhouse Billy never lost sight of doing things in a way that honors God and gives Him all the Glory.
