Daniel Pearson

Daniel Pearson started his employment with NBC two summers ago as a junior coach. He impressed the NBC-RMC staff with his passion for basketball and ability to teach campers despite being the same age as several PAC 10 guys. He came back last year as a full fledged coach and was a true asset to the NBC experience in Billings, MT. Daniel will graduate from Billings Central this May and is considering a college career in Helena, MT. He will join the Carroll Saints' roster this upcoming fall. Dan states, "NBC is a combination of two wonderful things in my life, basketball and faith. On the basketball side, NBC stresses discipline, fundamentals and outworking the person next to you at all times, all values that hav

e helped get me where I am at today. Even more important than basketball is the faith aspect in which coaches attempt to lead youth to Christ through basketball. NBC stresses morals, community and doing what is right always, more values that have led to where I am today. NBC has made an everlasting impact on my life and I am forever grateful for the opportunities it has provided." Dan led his team to the Class A Divisional Championship with a career-high 31 points and sunk 14 of 15 free-throws. Dan has an amazing personality and is a person to learn much from. NBC-APU is excited to welcome him to the staff for his first Alaskan summer!

Tim has been the assistant coach for the Lady Sunbirds Basketball program at Fresno Pacific University. He has worked with NBC as a coach, master teacher, and assistant site director. Tim can be found at NBC Alaska, and at NBC Montana as a master teacher."The best way to spell words like trust and love is T-I-M-E, and to me there is no better teacher of this than the game of basketball. Basketball teaches our youth such things as leadership, teamwork, effort, and dedication, which make the sport bigger than a sport—it makes it an outline for success. NBC brings people together and gives us, coaches, a great layout for working with young athletes and using basketball to build confidence both on and off the court. NBC has given me the opportunity to grow in ways I had never thought possible. Each summer only serves to increase my passion for teaching, learning, and basketball as a whole."
