I’m a former Division I quarterback and collegiate football coach with 20+ years of experience developing elite quarterbacks, wide receivers, and offensive systems. I’ve served as an Interim Head Coach and Passing Game Coordinator at Long Island University, and I’ve coached multiple conference MVPs, All-Americans, and record-setting quarterbacks. My quarterbacks have led the NE-10 and the nation in key performance metrics including passing yards, touchdowns, third-down efficiency, red-zone production, and total offense, with several earning Conference MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, and All-Conference honors. Over a five-year span, every starting QB I coached earned All-Conference recognition. As a coach, I specialize in: Quarterback mechanics & throwing efficiency Decision-making under pressure Reading defenses & situational football Third-down and red-zone mastery Game-speed accuracy & confidence Film review My training sessions are high-intensity, detail-driven, and tailored to the athlete’s age, position, and goals — whether that’s youth fundamentals, high-school performance, or preparing for college-level competition. I focus on building confident, disciplined players who understand the game, not just run drills. If you’re serious about development — not gimmicks — I bring college-level coaching, structure, and accountability to every session.

"Teacher Michelle helped my child go from failing her ELA class, to passing with a B! Sarah was behind in school due to her slow reading speed and was always getting questions wrong in comprehension homework and class work. Teacher Michelle worked closely with Sarah, finding why she was reading slowly, and made a personalized strategy to help her. She was friendly and my child really enjoyed working with her!
