Philosophy of coaching:

Basketball is an avenue that we can use to demonstrate the talents God has given us.  We must work to develop those talents to the fullest and by doing so, we will honor and glorify Him.

Basketball teaches us to share, to work together for one goal, to put aside individual goals for the success of the team, to be respectful of others, both teammates and opponents, and to show our God-given abilities.  

Whether coaching or playing, we must be aware that we are representing God, Kuyper College, our families and the community. Our actions on and off the court should demonstrate our Christian beliefs.

Whether we win or lose, we will be successful if we put God first.  "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13
