Richter Named Eagles Strength & Conditioning Coach

DUBUQUE, IA – Emmaus Athletics announces the hiring of Reggie Richter to become the Emmaus Eagles Strength and Conditioning Coach.  

Richter's hiring presents new growth opportunities for all Emmaus student-athletes, as he becomes the first person to serve in this capacity with Emmaus Athletics. 

"First and foremost, I can't express how excited I am for the opportunity to be at the same school as my amazing wife, Hannah, the assistant volleyball coach," shared Coach Richter.  "We're excited about what God is doing through Emmaus Bible College and thankful to be a part of it. Praise Jesus!"

Richter now joins his wife, Hannah Richter, on staff with Emmaus Athletics.  Hannah has served the past 3 years with Emmaus women's volleyball, and their presence together only adds to the family environment and "Emmaus Experience" for Eagles student-athletes. 

Coach Richter, who began working with the department this summer, will work with Emmaus coaches to develop and improve the athletic foundation and abilities of all Eagles student-athletes.  Richter is also committed to teaching and implementing nutrition, sleep, and recovery habits to improve student-athlete performance in the classroom and in competition.  

Richter, a native of Waukegan, IL, attended and played football at the University of Dubuque, where he earned degrees in Exercise Science and Education.  He holds Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) certification through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), and is working towards certification as a nutritionist through Precision Nutrition.

Richter also serves as a physical education teacher at Jefferson Middle School in Dubuque.  Reggie and Hannah are the proud parents of two young daughters: 2-year old, Nora, and 4-month old, Ruby.

Emmaus is a fully-accredited four-year college offering more than 20 professional and ministry-related degrees.  Our athletic teams compete in the NCCAA Division II and the Midwest Christian College Conference.
