I coach to help teach life lessons through the sport of soccer. As a faith-based coach, I believe the lessons of perseverance, discipline, integrity, identity, and more are all Biblical principles that stand the test of time and help in sports and in life. College years are formative years and hopefully, as coaches, we get to set up our players for success for the rest of their lives.
