Coach James (Jim) Warma is a faith-driven leader whose purpose-driven foundation was forged on the gridiron starting at the age of five and refined by three decades of various leadership roles with the United States (U.S.) Air Force and Missile Defense Agency. His athletic journey began at Yukon High School, where he was a center on the basketball team for the “Millers” (1983-1987), but truly excelled as a football offensive and defensive lineman. Coach Warma’s passion for football led him to play for the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) Preparatory School in 1988 and the USAFA varsity team from 1989-1991, helping the Falcon’s capture consecutive Commander-in-Chief’s Trophies in 1989 and 1990, as well as secure a historic 23-11 upset of the No. 24 Ohio State Buckeyes in the 1990 Liberty Bowl. After a career-ending injury, Coach Warma transitioned to boxing to drop weight to meet U.S. Air Force standards. He anchored the USAFA boxing team as a heavy weight and went on to win National Collegiate Boxing Runner Up in 1991. Coach Warma’s coaching career started in 1993 as a USAFA Preparatory School offensive line assistant coach and continued as he coached his daughter through elementary and middle school volleyball and basketball.

At the core of Coach Warma’s coaching style is a deeply rooted Christian faith and a strategic “Next Play” philosophy, which teaches athletes to learn from the past, but never dwell on it, and maintain an absolute focus on the future. His coaching playbook is anchored by three foundational Bible verses: Philippians 4:13 (“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”) to instill resilience and drive; Proverbs 19:21 (“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails”) to foster humility, and John 3:30 (“He must increase, but I must decrease”) to promote selfless, servant leadership. Coach Warma is dedicated to building elite team cultures, fostering character, and developing young athletes into resilient, team-first leaders both on and off the field.
