BUILD A GAME FOR LIFE
Outdoor Adventures to Develop, Heal & Grow
OUR MISSION
To become a leading Christian youth ministry that positively impacts local communities by providing adventure camps and outdoor experiences for youth that embodies character traits such as love, kindness, perseverance and self-control.
Build A Game For Life is a Christian youth ministry. The program was developed from Michael Bruchet's 25 years of coaching experience and working with disadvantage youth and orphans during his time in Asia. Participants will have the opportunity gain useful life skills, learn how to cope with adversity while having a life changing outdoor experience either through golf or fly fishing. The program is geared to provide a younger generation direction and an avenue for greater opportunities.
THE VISION
Build A Game For Life is our modern knighthood track— meaningful adventures that forge character, leadership, and a practical code of honor for real life.
Through outdoor adventure retreats—blending golf, fly fishing, backpacking, skiing, mountaineering and woodworking—boys step into manhood with purpose, gaining practical skills, steady confidence, and the inner strength to lead.
The virtues we’re committed to forming:
Truth — Speak honestly, Keep your word.
Courage — Stand firm when fear rises
Honor — Choose the noble way, always
Self-Mastery — Rule yourself before you lead
Protection — Strength used to defend, not dominate
Justice — Set wrongs right with steady hands
Mercy — Hold strength with a gentle heart
Loyalty — Faithful to God, family, and brothers
Service — Take up the burden gladly
Stewardship — Tend what is entrusted; leave it better
Faith — Walk with God and live with purpose
Our vision for Build A Game For Life is to establish a permanent retreat and training center where boys become men through outdoor adventure camps.
This will require significant capital, land, and leadership — and we are beginning to lay the foundation now.
Life is a game. Learn how to play it — so you can win.

Serious Coaching for the Serious Golfer
Michael Bruchet is a professional tour player, lifelong martial artist, and former elite hockey athlete with over 30 years of experience coaching serious golfers. His unique approach blends biomechanics, Eastern philosophies, and the precision mindset of elite athletes to unlock lasting performance breakthroughs. As both a player and coach, he’s helped juniors earn college scholarships, executives reclaim their edge, and competitive athletes return stronger after injury or burnout.
But Michael’s coaching goes deeper than mechanics. Every client is custom-fit with the right equipment — because peak performance starts with precision. He integrates strength, flexibility, nutrition, and mental resilience into what he calls a mind-body-balance system, helping players eliminate frustration and tap into their full potential.

And when that system is aligned, not only will you play the best golf of your life… you'll start showing up differently in every part of your life. Because golf is never just about golf.
Trust me, it’s not your swing.
