In this episode, we will interview, Coach Chelsea DeVille, the Head Coach for the women's basketball program at Bemidji State University, located in Bemidji, MN. Coach DeVille, graduated from Augustana College in 2009, where she was a four-year starter and letter winner for the Vikings, and earned North Central Conference Freshman of the Year laurels in 2006. A native of Watertown, South Dakota, DeVille, was a Miss Basketball South Dakota finalist, and two-time all-state selection as a prep. Along with being the head coach for the women's basketball program, Coach DeVille became involved in Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) as a student athlete, and that experience led her to want to continue contributing to FCA in some way after she finished competing as a student athlete. After becoming the head coach at Bemidji State University, Chelsea became the student club advisor for the FCA on campus, and has seen the club grow from a few students meeting a couple times a month, to now having over 60 student athletes attending FCA meetings each week, throughout the school year, on campus. Coach DeVille has definitely used her platform of coaching in a way where she expands beyond basketball to help shape the lives of young women in her circle of influence.
