Human beings are made for change. It might even be our greatest skill. I have used and developed this process as a collegiate athlete in both wrestling (Augustana College) and football (Bethel University), a college football coach (Crown College and Bethel University) and have coached at the high school level for almost fifteen years in football, wrestling, baseball and track. Recently it has produced huge results as a head track coach at Pequot Lakes where we have won 15 state championships in the past five years.
