The team unity at Life Center Academy is undeniable as coach Joe's mission is to personally mentor each player so they are inspired to become the best version of themselves as soccer players and servant-leaders. Coach Joe places great emphasis on developing the character of each student-athlete and preparing them to succeed on the soccer field and more importantly, in life. Winning has become a collateral effect of this coaching philosophy as Life Center Academy players are inspired to glorify God and play for something greater than themselves.
