ABOUT JANINE Janine graduated from High School in Jefferson South Dakota and from the University of South Dakota in Vermillion. She was part of State Championship Basketball Teams and Volleyball Teams in both schools. She has also been a teacher and coach in the public school system for many years. She assisted her both her sister Tanya and brother Bruce in their professional basketball engagements at various times throughout the world. Janine captivates her audience with her basketball skill, physical stamina, and positive attitude. She conveys a message about commitment to goals, dedication to whatever you set your mind to accomplish, ambition, enthusiasm, and confidence. Teachers, parents, and coaches everywhere she goes comment on her ability to influence the younger generation and older generation alike. They always talk about her rapport with her audience. She holds people in the palm of her hand as she speaks. There is such a tremendous need for positive role models among women, and Janine is that role model for audiences of all ages, male and female. She earns their respect when she demonstrates her athletic skills and then shares her lifestyle. Janine speaks and performs from elementary level schools through colleges and universities. She speaks a variety of messages that are tailored specifically for school assemblies, basketball camps, teacher meetings, banquets (athletic or otherwise), business meetings, and more. She talks about never giving up, keeping good friends, staying away from wrong movies and reading material, and staying away from drugs and alcohol. When appropriate she talks about abstinence as well. Just let her know what the thrust of your assembly is and she will speak a message that she feels and senses is appropriate for the age group and what is going on around the city or region at that time.

"I have taken Janine with me throughout the world and she keeps right up with me when I perform. I have been to a lot of camps, school assemblies, prisons, NBA games, etc., and spent time with a lot of people and I have yet to meet anyone who is so consistently energetic and upbeat. She always as an appropriate word to say for the appropriate moment. She has been an inspiration to me and I have seen first-hand what kind of influence she is on people of all ages. I gladly recommend Janine as a motivator, speaker, basketball demonstrator, intercessor, and more." Tanya Crevier, World's Best Female Basketball Handler "It was our privilege and thrill to have Janine Yoder perform....Not only did Janine demonstrate her God given talents in ball handling, but her testimony had an impact on several people coming to know the Lord. God used Janine...in a mighty way. If you are looking for someone who really connects with the kids, Janine is the one. She is a fun-loving, energetic performer for all ages. I highly recommend Janine... Jerry Taylor, Minister of Activities, West Colonial Hills Baptist Church "I just wanted to thank you for your encouraging words to my sons...I am a single mom and have been struggling to raise my boys and take care of their needs on a spiritual, physical and mental level. It's taxing and their father...is a Christian but is not involved in their lives...Again, I just wanted to thank you for your words...as well as the gift of the basketball. A Single Mom "It was our privilege and thrill to have Janine ... performed and spoke at our Orange and Black Basketball Classic... People of all ages were truly blessed... Not only did Janine demonstrate her God given talents in ball handling, but her testimony had an impact on our athletes and students that will last a lifetime." Don Krebs, Principal, Colby High School, Colby, KS "The amount of energy she brought into our school system was incredible. We began our day at 6:00 a.m...and went until 10:30 p.m. Janine spent most of her free time with our kids. While many speakers we have had to go and rest in between assemblies, Janine did not. Janine's love for students is evident by not only the amount of time she spends with them, but how she interacts with them. If your school is looking for an energetic speaker that really connects with students, consider Janine. You won't be sorry!!" Scott Starkweather, Guidance Counselor, Orange City, IA "Janine is billed as a basketball spinner, dribbler, juggler who shares the gospel around the globe. A good juggler or ball handler will usually hold an audience's attention for about 5 minutes. But when one combines audience interaction and crowd participation like Janine does, it makes for an incredible show that keep people wanting more. Her 'can do' attitude was an overriding theme as she pulled volunteers up on stage and executed drills with them. At the same time she had upbeat music blaring and encouraged the audience as they shouted 'Go! Go! Go! Go!' Everyone who volunteered left the stage feeling like a winner. Janine did a wonderful job of tailoring her show to meet our needs. She very clearly presented the gospel in a genuine way that most everyone, young and old, could understand. Her humble spirit and God-honoring appreciation for what she does proved to me that she is the real deal. Janine Yoder could probably be used for any type of sports forum...she's a perfect fit!"
