About

Jeanette Regier has been involved in the Calvary Bible College athletic program for the past 15 years. She spent four years as the head basketball coach and 14 years as the head volleyball coach before resigning last season so that she could pursue a PhD in Health Education. She will continue with her responsibilities as the athletic director and instructor in the physical education department while she attends classes.

Prior to working at Calvary, she was on the coaching staff at Berean Academy in Newton, Kansas. During her four years at Berean she served as head women's volleyball coach, assistant basketball coach, and assistant track coach.

The Newton, Kansas, native graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education from Emporia State University in 1991. Regier relocated to Belton in 1996 and finished her Master's Degree in Physical Education in May 2002. She hopes to finish her PhD by 2013.

Regier hopes to instill enthusiasm into the athletic program. Her goal for each season is to develop coaches who will lead mentally tenacious players and teach them to play aggressively. She has a strong desire to see each coach and each player that wears a Calvary uniform demonstrate consistent Christian character both on and off the court, realizing that what they become after athletic competition is more important than what they become during competition.
