Aaron G.

I have coached high school athletes for 25 years. After a brief career as a former professional football player (QB), I became a high school head football coach. During my 22 years in this position, my QB's have become all league or all conference in 18 of those seasons. My teams have reached the sections championship 4x in my 22 years. We have made the playoffs at Shasta High every one of my 14 seasons there. I am frequently commissioned by Nike and Underarmour to travel to athletic conferences to discuss offense, QB play, off season training, and speed development. Over the years, I have occasionally worked as a personal coach for quarterbacks.

After high school I continued my playing career as a QB at Western Oregon State. Following my four years, I worked as a free agent for three years, participating in the Spring Professional League (World Football League) as well NFL training camps. Following three years of chasing my dream, I became a high school head football coach at Granada High School (8 years) and then moved north to Shasta High School (14 years). My list of accomplishments are listed:
2009 NIKE California Football Coach of the Year
2008 Northern Section Football Coach of the Year

**Note: During the lesson my job is to evaluate and give suggested drills in which the student can work on at home to improve his technique. After discussing time constraints, personal goals, and type of high school system the student operates in, we will create a "plan of action" in which we address all his needs and goals throughout the lessons.
