Private Lessons & Coaches in Newnan, GA

I emphasize learning and understanding the fundamentals of mathematics, rather than encouraging student to memorize shortcuts and 'tricks.' When you have a strong grasp on the principles, the 'tricks' become obvious and you have the skills and confidence needed to approach problems in a number of different ways. I have a BS in Physics, and a great deal of experience with theoretical and applied mathematics. This is very helpful in connecting mathematical problems with real world applications.

With over 35 years dedicated to basketball, I empower players to unlock their full potential. My tailored approach to coach and player development aid in tangible and proven results. I work with players of all skill levels starting ages 8 and up. Weather your just learning the game of are a pro player trying to add more to your bag Id love to help you get better!! Let’s get to work!!

Coach Nate's Playbook: Life, Football, and Everything in Between"* Hey there, fam! 👋 I'm Coach Nate, a Georgia boy born and raised in Macon, GA. I spent over a decade coachin' football in Chico, California, but I'm thrilled to be back home in Macon, where my heart is. As a football coach and trainer with Harris Elite Training, I've had the privilege of workin' with some of the most talented young athletes in the country, from ages 5-18. It's been an incredible journey, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to give back to my community. *My Story* Grown in Macon, I played football from a young age and knew that's what I wanted to do – coach and help young athletes develop their skills. I spent over 12 years coachin' in California, but the call to come back home and make a difference in my community was too strong to ignore. *My Coaching Philosophy* At Harris Elite Training, we focus on developin' the whole athlete – physically, mentally, and emotionally. I believe that football is a vehicle for life lessons, character development, and personal growth. My goal is to help my players become the best versions of themselves, on and off the field. Stay tuned for more updates, and let's make every day count! 🏈

"But what I appreciate most about Coach Nate is his heart. He's got a genuine passion for helpin' young people succeed, and it's infectious. He's built strong relationships with his players, and they respect and admire him tremendously. If you're lookin' for a coach who's gonna make a real difference in your child's life, look no further than Coach Nate. He's the real deal!"

I played baseball for (16) years across some of the top programs in Georgia, including the Georgia Stars and L.E.A.D. Ambassadors. I trained under respected coaches like Marquis Grissom, CJ Stewart and Buddy Fowlkes, and those years shaped how I teach the game today. I have coached and trained students as high as the collegiate level and I work well with players who need structure and a clear direction. My goal is help athletes feel prepared, motivated, and proud of their progress every session.
