About your other coach
I bring years of experience competing and training at the highest levels of college athletics. I played Division I football for the University of Arkansas and the University of Oklahoma, as well as for Division II powerhouse Pittsburg State University. Along the way, I had the privilege of training under and learning from some of the top Division I strength coaches in the country, including Garber, Veltkamp, and Sharpe. With my expertise and proven history in athlete development, I believe that if you bring the right mindset, energy, and discipline, together we can accomplish your goals and make your dreams a reality. As a personal trainer, I focus on correcting form, improving flexibility, building strength, increasing speed, sharpening agility, and developing explosive power. Beyond the physical, I emphasize building a confident, resilient mindset—especially for football athletes who want to dominate at the next level.

Youth players
Working with kidsWorking with kids to prepare for football begins with teaching the correct techniques and concepts that form the foundation of safe and effective play. At a young age, athletes are still developing physically, so it’s critical to emphasize body control, proper movement patterns, and safe contact fundamentals. By focusing on correct form—whether in stances, tackling, blocking, or conditioning drills—coaches not only reduce the risk of injury but also set athletes up for long-term success. Developing these habits early ensures that as their bodies grow stronger, they can play with confidence, efficiency, and resilience on the field.
Working with teenagersTraining teenagers for football requires a balance of building athletic performance while prioritizing proper technique and safety. At this stage, their bodies are getting stronger and more capable, but they are also still developing, which makes it critical to reinforce correct mechanics in lifting, running, tackling, and blocking. Teen athletes benefit from structured strength and conditioning to improve speed, power, and endurance, but the focus must always stay on form first, weight second. Teaching concepts like leverage, body positioning, and safe contact not only reduces the risk of injury but also prepares them to transition into more advanced levels of football with confidence and durability.
