What Does "Coram Deo" Mean?

Coram Deo is the Latin translation for "Before the Face of God."  As coaches, this is a very important quality that we need to embrace and be an example of.  Everything that we do needs to be done, "Coram Deo."  That means what we do in practice, how we handle problems, the way we interact with our players off the court, and even how we live our lives.  Coaching "Coram Deo" not only will strive to help coaches learn about the game of basketball, but it will more importantly strive to teach coaches how to become a Christian coach.  Winning is important and no one likes to lose, but the only way we will ever become a truly successful coach is by the way we reflect our everyday tasks to the glory of Jesus.

Here are a couple links that I would strongly recommend looking at to better yourself at coaching "coram deo."
