Coaches Can Make a Difference
As a coach you have an opportunity to help student-athletes have a great sports experience. An experience that is meaningful, challenging, educational, and fun. With the Champions of Character® program you will be able to help define, model, shape, and reinforce the five core values: integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship, and servant leadership for your team. Let's get started.
