"Met Coach Corders at Nike Football Camp my freshman year. Saw him providing instruction to WR/DB group. The way he was able to communicate what to do and illustrate how to execute various skills was extraordinary. Asked him to train me. Ironically, he coached football at my school, Metrolina Christian Academy. We trained 2-3/week and wide receiver skills, speed & agility along with strength and conditioning. He helped me to maintain focus on details, and train like a starter from Day One. If you are serious about football, fitness.. Coach Corders is the trainer for you.

When it comes to teaching I take the approach that the swing needs to fit how your body wants to move. Everyone is unique and so is everyone's swing. With some basic preliminary measurements we can quickly find what swing fits you best. After 5+ years teaching and hundreds of lessons I’m confident I can help you achieve your goals.

"Chris has been a tremendous help in getting my swing to a more consistent state. They also use Trackman, so you’re able to really dial in your numbers as well.

With a lifelong love for the game, I cultivate basketball skills in athletes of all levels. I’m committed to fostering both individual growth and team success. I’m eager to help you achieve your peak performance on the court.
