Gold-Burg High School has found its new athletic director/boy’s coach as it officially announced Christian Healer at its school board meeting.
Healer comes to Gold-Burg after one year at Northwest High School and will be his first head coaching job.
Healer graduated from Northwest in 2019 where he was a varsity athlete in football, basketball, baseball. He went on to play baseball at Bethany College in Kansas where he broke the school record for stolen bases in his career and got his degree.
Healer said he initially was only applying for the open boy’s basketball position, but was then offered the athletic director and football coach job as well so he took the opportunity.
After a lifetime of playing sports, he wanted to give back to the next generation like his coaches did for him.
“Bill Poe and Weston Franco were my coaches and mentors at Northwest,” Healer said. “I played sports my whole life and always knew I wanted to be a coach and teacher.”
What he lacks in coaching experience, Healer hopes to make up with his enthusiasm and relatability along with playing experience at both a 5A classification and college.
“Coming from a bigger school, being around better athletes than me, some that went division I and some that went pro, just growing up in that atmosphere made me better,” Healer said. “I hope I can bring that from a big town to a small town to hopefully help make a really good program for all of the sports.”
