I love teaching my students the lifelong skill of strength training and conditioning. It gives me so much joy when I see my students gaining confidence and when their effort in the weight room translates to success toward a particular goal or sport. So thankful to the Lord for allowing me to have a small part of their growth!

I had coaches who poured into me in High School and College; I feel a calling to do the same.

Coaching at CCS has been a dream come true for me! Being able to take my love of athletics and coach in such an awesome, competitive environment that keeps honoring God at the forefront is such a blessing.

I love coaching soccer because it’s an opportunity for me to pass on all the knowledge I have gained both as a player in Scotland and as a coach. I love coaching soccer for those light bulb moments where a player learns a new skill or improves tactically on the field.

I have had the privilege of coaching at CCS for 15 years, and one of the things that keeps me coming back is the incredible group of students I get to work with. I’ve been fortunate to have an overwhelmingly positive experience, and I attribute this to the exceptional character of the students. They embody the school’s Christian values, and it’s a joy to see them demonstrate kindness, sportsmanship, and respect on and off the courts. The supportive and collaborative environment among parents, staff, and students is also a huge factor in making CCS such a special place to be.

I love being able to train and coach with biblical principles to a great group of kids with a strong Christian foundation.

It gives me so much joy to partner with a school that is equipping our children to love the Lord, to think biblically, and to glorify God in every area of their lives!

One thing I love about coaching at CCS is that we are very successful in athletics and have high standards, but we realize that athletics is not ultimate. We want our students and athletes to glorify the Lord in everything they do, and that is our primary focus.

Coaching at CCS is so special because it allows me to share the love of Jesus with my athletes. Additionally, the families at CCS align with my personal values and share similar goals for their children.

I love coaching at CCS because I am afforded the opportunity to spend valuable time with students and athletes who have a passion for developing and achieving in their sports, but more importantly in growing in their love and knowledge of Christ!

I love CCS because it encourages student-athletes in every way — spiritually, mentally, and physically. What a blessing to be able to encourage kids to play hard and do it with a Christ-like attitude.

While being part of a program at its foundation can have many challenges, those challenges are much easier because we got to step into a flourishing school and athletics culture at CCS. This culture is fueled by the supportive families and athletes at CCS!

Coaching gives me the chance to build meaningful relationships with my players and serve as a mentor both on and off the court. It’s an opportunity
to pour into them spiritually, helping them grow in their faith while also developing their skills as athletes.

I love coaching at CCS because I have the freedom to tell my players about God! It is great to strive to improve every day and have a winning goal in each specific sport, but it is way more important to have the mission of loving one another and telling others about what Jesus did for us.

Coaching at CCS is more than just teaching a sport — it’s about helping young people grow into strong, confident leaders both on and off the field. I love being part of a community that values faith, character, and hard work. Watching our athletes push themselves, support each other, and grow not just as players but as individuals is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. There’s something really special about the family atmosphere here — it makes every practice and every game something to look forward to.

CCS has a supportive athletics department and wonderful students. The players have great attitudes and work hard. I also love being able to pray with and for my players.

Loves coaching at CCS because of the the Biblical worldview! There’s no other way to fully encourage, train, and support your team without it.

Loves coaching at CCS because of the wonderful environment for athletics at CCS! We have a supportive student body that encourages all kids to participate in any and all sports. Their team goal is always to honor God in everything they do, and that is a goal that is special to me!
