On this episode of Building a Champion, we head to Northwest Iowa to talk with Darin Keizer, Athletic Director at Dordt University — one of the NAIA’s most mission-driven and dominant athletic programs.
Darin shares how Dordt Athletics has delivered back-to-back NAIA national championships in women’s basketball, a top-5 football ranking, and standout performances in track and cross country — all while staying rooted in a Christ-centered mission. 🎓🏆
You’ll hear how Dordt’s commitment to servant leadership, culture-first coaching, and deep community connections are creating consistent success across all sports. From building “the Defender Way” to mentoring over 700 student-athletes, this episode is a masterclass in purpose-driven athletics.
