🎄 Quick Handle Christmas Clinics Recap 🎄

What a special way to wrap up the Christmas season.

Huge thank you to the players, families, and facilities in Mercer Island and Issaquah for an incredible couple of clinics. The energy, effort, and coachability on display was outstanding.

These sessions were about more than just ball-handling — they were about confidence, competition, and developing the right habits on and off the court.








Grateful for the opportunity to pour into young athletes and help them continue to grow through the game.

🎄 Merry Christmas to you and your families.

When you drift from God’s Word, neglect infects — it seeps into your heart, dulls your passion, and clouds your peace.

But when you stay rooted in Him, a powerful rhythm begins to form:
➡️ Connect — stay anchored in His presence.
➡️ Reflect — let His Word renew your mind.
➡️ Expect — wait with faith, not frustration.
➡️ Direct — move in obedience when He leads.

Faith isn’t about sitting still; it’s about walking while you wait.
When you connect and expect, God begins to direct.

“Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength…” — Isaiah 40:31

“In those dark moments, all I could say to myself was, ‘God will work. It’s His timing. Be patient, persevere, bear the weight.’” Coach Mendezona’s journey, from dribbling in the rain as a kid to answering a lifelong calling to Christian coaching, reminds us that leadership isn’t just about standing ahead, but walking alongside.

His story challenges every coach, mentor, and leader to ask: are we lifting others up, bearing burdens together, and pointing toward something greater than ourselves?

Hey Family & Friends,

It’s official! I’m honored to be named the Men’s Head Basketball Coach at Corban University! 🙌 We are officially part of the Warrior Family now — LET’S GO!!!

I want to thank each of you for the prayers, support, and love you’ve shown me through this journey. I truly wouldn’t be in this position without you.

This is more than just a coaching opportunity — it’s a calling. I’ve come on board late in the off-season, and we’re facing real recruiting challenges. But we’re trusting God, working hard, and believing for 1–3 impact players to join our program even at this stage.

🙏 ALL THE GLORY GOES TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!
He never fails. He opens doors no one can shut. His timing is perfect.
Ephesians 3:20–21, Philippians 4:13.

I’d love your continued prayers and encouragement as we step into this new season of Warrior Basketball.

Here’s the official release from Corban:
