Coaching style
My
main goal is to create an atmosphere in our basketball program where
each player, coach, and manager has the opportunity to grow
spiritually, academically, and as an athlete. I want everyone to be
able to say that they had a positive experience as a result of being a
part of the women's basketball program at Tabor College. Another goal
is to maintain a highly competitive basketball team not only in our
conference but on the national scene as well.
How do you integrate faith into your coaching?
I
want to create a family type of atmosphere where everyone can feel
comfortable sharing about their personal lives. This often happens as a
result of relationships that are built and often times is a direct
result of the types of things that we implement on an intentional
level. As a coaching staff we will give leadership by sharing
devotions, leading the team in prayer, providing opportunities for
service projects, but mainly by our personal witness.
What is special about athletics at Tabor?
I
love the mission of the college and the freedom that we are allowed as
coaches to share our faith and encourage our student athletes in this
way. I have seen the students in our program mature in their character
and in their spiritual lives as well. I have seen young women become
leaders in our basketball program and leaders on our campus.
I
enjoy spending time with my beautiful wife Karly. We enjoy taking road
trips, playing tennis, being involved in church, and spending time with
family and friends.
