Coach Spotlight March 2025
General
Coach: Victor LaBarbera
Title: Ninja Core Head Coach and LCG Resident Tech Wizard 
From: Chicago, IL
“I love helping children learn new skills and become more self confident.” If you know Victor, you know how true this statement rings! From his years as a camp counselor, to the 4 years of chess he taught, to raising the 5 children he and his wife have, ranging in age from 8 to 20, including one teenager who also works at LCG as a Ninja Core Coach, we are so lucky to have Victor help lead our Ninja Core Program!
Victor grew up in Chicago, but currently resides right here in North Webster. Lucky for us, Victor’s two sons were enrolled in the Ninja Core Program, shortly after it was founded. He saw how much fun they were having, and the potential for the program to be something special, and he wanted to be a part of it!
If given the chance to travel anywhere, Victor would choose to go to Alaska, because it is so different than any other place he has visited. Fun Fact: Victor once worked as a Television Announcer for a Pro Wrestling Show!
In his spare time Victor likes to read and exercise and prepare and cook vegetarian meals. In the future Victor hopes to start a halfway home for men transitioning out of prison, as well as transform his barn into a place of prayer and community worship. Wow! To say Victor has a heart for service, that’s made of gold, would be a gross understatement! We can’t wait to see the amazing things you will continue to do!
