Roger Mast

“I love EMU and the opportunity to serve this institution in the role of coaching the men’s soccer team and teaching in the health & physical education program. I feel that my mission is to serve others as Christ served his followers. The venue that I have been given to accomplish this mission is through the sport of soccer and through the development of talents, values, and lessons in sports and recreation. There are many great attributes in coaching that are applicable to the classroom and the best coaches are great teachers. I am given the opportunity to blend and balance sport, education, and Christian values on a daily basis at EMU. “
