More About Coach Ben

Current high school varsity coach (football and track & field) and teacher. I have coached in 3 different state championship programs in 3 different states (Texas, California, and Louisiana) I also have experience as a graduate assistant in a Division I-FCS football program, where I was NCAA certified for off-campus recruiting. Because of that experience, I can truthfully answer any questions, and offer guidance, on the college football recruiting process to any prospective student-athlete hoping to play at that level. At my current high school job, I helped our football team go from zero seniors signing a National Letter of Intent for college football the year before, to seven seniors signing in my 1st year. I do not point that out to say that I am guaranteeing my clients a scholarship, because no one can do that. However, I will give an honest evaluation of talent level and equip you with beneficial information & tips, if playing in college is a goal.

I have coached 2 U.S. Army All-American Bowl participants (a 3rd player of mine has been selected for the 2016 game), 1 ESPN Under Armour All-American Game participant, and 1 Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl participant. I have also coached the 8th grade East team in the Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl 2 years. Additionally, I've had fortunate opportunities to be mentored by and learn under some of the best technique coaches in the game of football. Men such as:

- the late Tom Martinez (Tom Brady's personal QB coach since childhood)
- Charlie Collins (retired NFL coach; former 49ers and Bengals WR coach.)
- Bill Bradley (Retired NFL player. Former Baylor defensive coordinator, Philadelphia Eagles hall of fame)
- Darren Bennet (Retired NFL player. San Diego Chargers hall of fame)
- Chris Miller (retired NFL player & coach. Former all-pro for the Falcons. Coached Kurt Warner with the Cardinals)

Played for one of the top ranked high school football programs in the nation (Katy, TX) under a hall-of-fame inductee coach. I was also an all-american in track & field and earned a scholarship to a division I college.

My clients will receive an honest and hard-working approach, dedicated to the improvement of the individual being coached. If my client is truly a competitor, and not just wanting to hear how great they are from someone wanting to collect a paycheck, I guarantee you will leave our 1st session with new knowledge and something you've already improved, or else I will pay you what you were going to pay me.

I will begin with an honest evaluation of your skill level so I will know your strengths and weaknesses. From there, I can help my clients improve on what holds them back from reaching that next level, while also honing the things they excel at, thus allowing their confidence to soar. I am a big believer in training the overall student-athlete, so I will always include something in my training that will benefit my clients off the field because I know the importance those traits play in becoming a success ON the field. Topics range from leadership development, derived from my 4 years in the Marine Corps, to tips for academic success, spoken from a current teacher.

However, I know your ultimate goal is to become a better player at your position. I will teach you techniques which I guarantee will do just that. I've personally learned many of the techniques I teach from some of the most successful coaches in the game, from high school to the NFL ranks. It is my belief that technique beats talent. I will equip you with excellent technique. Since coaching football is my actual career, I have the benefit of using facilities/equipment that other can’t, as well as certain technology to provide instant visual feedback and film to study off of on your own time.

I love coaching and mentoring young men. This is my passion. I would do this for free everyday if I could and never would complain a day in my life. However, I just had twins and high school teachers aren't on the most lucrative of salaries. I will bring unmatched enthusiasm to each session, as your success becomes the measuring stick for my success.

Coach Ben has done an outstanding job in teaching and instructing my son in the technical aspects of playing the receiver position. He has demonstrated a wealth of knowledge and understanding concerning technique and precision route running and is very adept at communicating that to the athlete. Additionally, his emphasis on the importance of embracing leadership principles and being a well-rounded teammate and leader on your football was refreshing. Having played football on the collegiate level, I was very pleased with the attention to detail he brings to his coaching of the athlete, detail that can make a good athlete great. I would highly recommend Coach Ben to anyone looking to step up there game.

Doyle R. Adams, Sr.

I am extremely impressed with Coach Ben after his first QB session with my 7th Grader. Ben has a well thought out plan to help my son develop proper mechanics & technique, but also included the importance of good personal characteristic values that translate into good leadership traits. His instruction was thoroughly explained & demonstrated, step by step. I am very happy with the 1st session, & look foward to many more. Highly recommended!

My name is Sean , I am the head football coach and a full time physical education and AV ID instructor at La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad, CA. I have had the fortunate opportunity of knowing Ben for nearly three years now and I am very impressed with him as a person and a professional. Ben has served as an offensive assistant, and as our offensive coordinator this past season. Ben is a special person he stands out amongst his peers when it comes to maturity, expectations, and execution. He has a genuine ability to evaluate people and get them to believe in themselves and “squeeze” the juice out of them. He has the ability to evaluate talent and personnel players to help equip the best possible football team. Coach Palmer is a very talented football coach. He has terrific communication skills and is able to transcend cultures, ages, and backgrounds. He has a unique ability to talk to kids and coaches alike, always being demanding but never demeaning, getting the best out of whoever he works with. He sets high standards and makes sure that they are being met by meticulous evaluations on the fly and off of film. It is without the slightest bit of hesitation that I recommend Ben . He is the type of man that helps make this country great. A former servicemen, who is strong in his faith, understands the value of family and genuine hard work and sacrifice. He is a terrific role model for any person, young and old alike and would be a huge asset in any capacity. You will regret NOT involving him in your program. He is going to be successful, I suggest you be a part of that success.
