 One final time from the event center on the campus of Colorado Christian University and this month's edition of the RMAC Showcase. CCU boasts 13 NCAA Division II teams on campus and our next interview has coached several of them. Carly is back one final time with a coach who has worn multiple hats. Starting with her family's history of track and field, Christopher Keik found that her love of basketball is where she finds home. Christopher Keik's love of sports started back in Michigan while in high school and then into college. For Keik was a dual sport athlete, excelling in both track and basketball. It was under the coaching of her father that inspired her to switch from teaching to being a full-time coach. My dad was actually my track coach in high school and then he was the main personal trainer I guess you could say for me for basketball. We would go in the gym every single day and the goal would always be to beat him. I had to pursue the education route. I taught middle school math and Bible for three years and just didn't settle with me. I was also coaching at the same time at the high school level and I found that at the end of the day that's what was bringing me more energy. That energy and passion of coaching is what drove Curse's desire to go beyond teaching and make the move. I wanted to pursue higher and so that's when I decided to move out to Colorado. I'm from Michigan originally and I didn't have a job. I didn't, but I decided to come out to my masters and so I got my masters up at University of Northern Colorado in sports psychology and then through moving out here that's how I got connected with my family friend who then connected me to John Pogue, the head track and cross country coach. After meeting head coach John Pogue, Curse's natural gift of coaching and building relationships came through. Our program should do great job building relationships and I think that's so important anytime you're working with student athletes just to have a pulse on not just where they are as athletes but as people as well and so she's really gifted in that area. She tends to undersell herself in the X's and O's aspect of the sport. She's clearly gifted in that spot too. She's just an outstanding basketball player and just a great competitor and when you're a great competitor I think it translates across all sports regardless of what you're coaching. At the top of the relationships it's the competitiveness. There's nothing like being in a sport where you're competing and from the coaching aspect it's all about strategy and helping your athletes learn how to compete. Coach for Kaik is doing a great job helping shape Colorado Christian athletes both on the field and the court but there's no question in her mind where her future lies. If I had to choose between the two it would be basketball. It's been my first love since I started playing sports and it's what got me into playing in the beginning and it's been around for the longest time for me and it's something that's never left. Coach for Kaik is now in the off season with the Cougars getting the girls prepared for next season. With the RMAC Showcase I'm Carly Schwarzkopf. Thank you again Carly for all of your hard work this month. That does it for the Colorado Christian edition of the RMAC Showcase. I can't thank you enough for sticking around as we spend some time with the Cougars. Next month it's time to hand out some more trophies as the spring sports championships will take center stage. For everyone at the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference I'm Jason Carter. Thank you again so much for tuning in and we'll see you next month as we crown champions and all Americans. We'll see you then.
