"I still remember the first time I met our coach, Patrick Gilliam, my senior year of high school," says Lindy Gritter, a sport wellness and management major from Michigan. Coach Gilliam was on a recruiting trip, and the first thing he told Lindy was: "We have a good program at Trinity. We work hard. But that's not what it's all about." After she joined the team, Lindy discovered what Coach Gilliam meant. The team enjoys consistent athletic success, including their second championship title at the National Christian College Athletic Association Tournament in 2004. But Gilliam also wants to see each team member develop spiritually. During the season, he leads team devotions. In the off-season, he selects women from the team to lead team members in small groups. Now a senior with plans to become a personal athletic trainer, Lindy has led a small group for two years and been a mentor to two of the younger women on the team. She says, "A lot of people around campus say, ‘The soccer team has so many commitments. I don't get it—how do you do it?' But you want to do it, because Patrick's invested in you. He prays for you and helps you. It's not just about the soccer. For me, it's been the most growth of my life."
