Pella Christian coaches will be reemphasizing the mission of the school in their efforts this academic year.
Activities Director Dan Branderhorst tells KNIA/KRLS Sports their leaders will be participating in coaching for transformation, a program spinning off of their teaching for transformation program, which emphasized faith and its importance to those participating in their programs.
“It helps us live our our mission by providing definitions of three things: 1) What does it mean to be a disciple? That’s our head. 2) Why do we have discipleship habits? That’s our heart. “And 3) how do we practice being a disciple? That’s our hands.”
Branderhorst says as a Christian school, they need to ensure coaches reinforce faith-based principles to student-athletes on and off the field and court.
