More About Coach Brandon
I began my coaching career in the Pacific Coast Conference, working with youth athletes aged 8 to 14. My focus was on enhancing and developing skill position players while also serving as the defensive coordinator. This experience allowed me to build a strong foundation in teaching key fundamentals at an early stage in their athletic careers.
At the high school level, I specialized in coaching running backs and receivers, with an emphasis on improving speed, route running, ball security, and position-specific skills. I took pride in helping athletes refine their abilities to compete at a higher level and become more effective in game situations.
At the collegiate level, I continued working with receivers, focusing on advanced techniques such as understanding defensive schemes, blocking fundamentals, releases, footwork, and speed. My goal was to teach athletes how to become complete playmakers by making intelligent decisions and impacting the game in multiple ways.
I have had the privilege of coaching at notable institutions, including Redondo Union High School, El Camino College, and Fairmont State University. My experience spans working with athletes from middle school to adults, enabling me to tailor my coaching methods to various skill levels and age groups.
Throughout my career, I’ve remained committed to continuous learning and development, and I hold several industry certifications that reflect my dedication to athlete performance and growth.
Throughout my athletic career, I have had the privilege of competing at the highest levels of youth, collegiate, and professional football.
In middle school, I helped make history by leading my youth football team to a National Championship victory, where I was named the MVP of the championship game. My high school career spanned four years on varsity, during which I contributed to three consecutive conference championships. I was named team MVP twice and earned All-Bay League honors for three years, along with All-Area recognition for two years.
At the collegiate level, I competed for Fairmont State University, where I was selected to the First Team All-Conference for two consecutive years. I further advanced my football career by transitioning to the professional level, where I played for the Omaha Beef Professional Football Team in Nebraska for four years. In my rookie season, I was honored to receive the Rookie of the Year award.
These experiences have shaped my competitive drive and commitment to excellence, both on and off the field.
In a typical session, clients can expect a structured, high-energy workout tailored to the athlete’s skill level and goals. I focus on fundamental skill development, including footwork, positional techniques, agility, and football IQ. Each session begins with a dynamic warm-up to enhance mobility, speed, and conditioning, followed by targeted drills designed to refine technique and build confidence on the field.
For Younger Athletes:
I emphasize foundational skills such as proper stance, tackling form, ball handling, passing, and route running. Age-appropriate drills are used to challenge athletes while keeping the sessions engaging and fun. This includes work on body positioning, footwork, and basic offensive and defensive concepts to build a strong foundation.
For Advanced Youth Players:
For more experienced players, I incorporate position-specific drills and situational training. This includes working on offensive and defensive strategies, play recognition, reading coverages, blocking techniques, tackling mechanics, and game simulation scenarios. Focus is given to improving both physical and mental aspects of the game, ensuring the athlete's performance is enhanced in real game situations.
Session Breakdown:
1. **Dynamic Warm-Up**: Includes agility drills, speed ladder work, cone drills, and mobility exercises to increase foot speed, flexibility, and conditioning.
2. **Fundamentals & Technique**: Drills focused on improving footwork, catching, ball security, throwing mechanics, or tackling form, depending on the athlete's position.
3. **Positional Drills**: Position-specific exercises targeting route running for receivers, blocking drills for linemen, coverage drills for defensive backs, and tackling or read-and-react drills for linebackers.
4. **Game Simulation**: Situational work that challenges athletes to react to live scenarios, developing football IQ and decision-making under pressure.
5. **Cool-Down & Reflection**: A session-ending cool-down that includes stretching and a discussion of the athlete’s progress, areas of improvement, and setting goals for future sessions.
### **Real-Time Feedback & Evaluation:**
Throughout the session, I provide real-time feedback and positive reinforcement, ensuring athletes understand not just how to perform a drill, but also why it’s crucial in a game situation. My coaching approach focuses on both development and motivation, fostering discipline, confidence, and a strong work ethic.
Lastly, I make it a priority to attend games and activities to evaluate each athlete’s performance, identify areas for improvement, and provide tailored feedback. My ultimate goal is to support each athlete's growth, ensuring they develop the skills and mentality to excel on the field.
