Champions of Character

           

WELCOME, to the Cornerstone University Champions of Character Program Center Home Page!

I want to thank you for visiting our site and hope that you find the information you are looking for. At Cornerstone University we place great value on the Champions of Character program. We believe that there is a deterioration in the culture of sport today from the professional level all the way down to the youngest youth level. We see instances of violence among athletes, cheating through perforamance enhancing drugs and parents who are, quite frankly, out-of-control. 

In light of these behaviors we believe that the time is now to change the culture of sport. We have formed a partnership with the O-K Conference (44 local high schools) and all the Grand Rapids Rapids professional sports organizations (Grand Rapids Griffins, West Michigan Whitecaps and Grand Rapids Rampage).

Through these partnerships it is our desire to be a resource for all coaches, athletes, parents, youth programs, booster clubs and administrators not only in the Grand Rapids area but the entire midwest.

The links in the left hand column will guide you through our site to tell you about the program and how we are involved within our community. Please check back frequently to stay up-to-date on the latest news and events. As always, if you ever have a question or would like to schedule a training session or presentation don't hesitate to contact me.

We look forward to adding you to our list of growing partners in "changing the culture of sport".
