In this episode of Building a Champion, we sit down with Matt Hill, Athletic Director at the University of Northwestern–St. Paul, to explore how faith, integrity, and character are shaping one of NCAA Division III’s most respected athletic programs.
Matt shares how Northwestern is excelling across multiple sports — from a national champion in women’s track & field to Final Four volleyball runs — while staying true to their Christ-centered mission. We cover powerful stories of sportsmanship (including the “honor call” that cost a national title but won a sportsmanship award), strategic program growth, and how “Compete With Purpose” has become the guiding philosophy for coaches and athletes alike.
Whether you’re a coach, athletic director, or student-athlete, you’ll find inspiring insights on building teams that win the right way — on and off the scoreboard.
🎧 Listen now to hear how Northwestern Athletics is developing champions through Christ-first leadership, strong relationships, and relentless pursuit of excellence.
