VISION

Partnering with athletic departments and coaches to worship God through sports

MISSION

For coaches to see the act of coaching, the pursuit of success, and the mentoring of athletes as acts of worship to the Creator. The joy in this work is that of a composer creating masterpieces as unto the Lord.

John is an effective coach who clearly understands the hearts of students and how to apply the hope of Jesus through sport to them. He is insightful and thought provoking, helping you to think deeply about your philosophy, vision, and mission as a coach. He helps put language to your values and passion. He is someone you want on your team.”
Boys’ Soccer Coach, Second Baptist School
