I bring firsthand experience and proven success from every level of the game — from youth football to the professional ranks. I was recognized as a Youth Under Armour All-American, became a 5-star high school recruit with over 50 Division I scholarship offers, and went on to play four years at Florida State University. I continued my career with six years of professional football experience, including time with the Cincinnati Bengals and San Francisco 49ers, among other organizations. I don’t just teach drills — I teach athletes how to train, prepare, think, and compete at a high level. My experience in elite locker rooms and high-pressure environments allows me to show players exactly what coaches look for and how to separate themselves. Athletes who train with me develop stronger fundamentals, higher football IQ, better discipline, and greater confidence. I focus on building complete players — technically sound, mentally tough, and prepared for the next level. My mission is simple: give athletes the knowledge, structure, and mindset I learned firsthand so they can maximize their potential on and off the field.

On top of being a two-time PGA Tour Event winner and long-time golf channel analyst, Ted is an exceptional coach. He began his love affair with golf at the age of five. Growing up in Pennsylvania, Ted’s parents would drop him off at the golf course in the morning and pick him up at night. He would practice all day and imagine himself playing with the greats of the game. He studied their swings and imitated them as much as possible. His innate ability to see his body moving in time and space was his talent, and it took him all the way to the PGA TOUR. He also currently competes on the Champions Tour.
