Austin C.

I have an extensive football background, with experience in both playing and coaching. I have successfully worked with developing professional, collegiate, amateur and youth athletes in a variety of sports. My extensive knowledge in the areas of sports and performance enhancement makes me a significant addition and I have been coaching athletes for over seven years. I have my BA in Sports & Recreational Management, I am also an W.I.T.S. certified personal trainer. The sports I have trained athletes in include football, track and field, baseball, and basketball. My coaching experience ranges from elementary school, middle school, high school, collegiate, and post-collegiate levels. I specialize in speed and agility training, especially for athletes wishing to gain explosive power and mind-blowing acceleration. My other area of specialty is injury prevention and recovery training: All the strength and power in the world won't matter unless your body can handle it!

I have coached at:
Nike Sparq High School Combine
NFL High School Player Development Program
Antoine Winfield Football Camp

Through my experience and coursework, I have laid the groundwork and continue to refine my skills in coaching. My past position was as an Assistant Coach (Running Backs/ Defensive Backs/Return Specialist) at Akron Garfield High School. I was responsible for individual practices and pre-game preparation; I build strong relationships with my athletes through communication and mutual respect. I am also certified with the American Red Cross in CPR and First Aid.

I played football from 2nd grade through High School and in 2002 was named Ohio All-State Defensive Back and was the League Player of the Year. I earned a full scholarship to Tiffin University and was a 4 year starter and letterman, and a contributor to the schools best record in history 10-1.

At Tiffin University I played a variety of positions which included Running Back, Wide Receiver, Kick Returner, and Punt Returner. 3 Year Team Captain, 3 Year All-Conference selection, and National All-Star Bowl Nominee.

I train each client on an individual basis, as I do not believe in gimmick programs that supposedly work for everybody. You are an individual with specific needs. I take you from where you are at, examine your form, flexibility, strength, and power, and then begin the process of refining you from wherever you are at.
