COACHING PHILOSOPHY

While success on the fi eld is important, Coach Fish is passionate about making this program about more than just win- ning football games. “I believe football is a gift that helps us grow in our faith,” said Fish. “Athletics can give us a model that helps us to see what it means to be a committed follower of Jesus Christ.”

Fish places high importance on giving opportunities to those who desire to grow in their faith in Christ and on providing an avenue to do so locally and internationally.

“It’s important to me that guys leave this program not thinking about themselves, but about things bigger than them- selves,” Fish stated.

Personal Information: Coach Fish and his wife, Jodi, reside in Bourbonnais with their daughter, Culley; and two sons, Levi and Isaac.
