More About Coach Brooks

I have been coaching youth athletes since the summer of 2023 in both my hometown of Fayetteville, AR and in Washington, DC, where I received my master's degree. I coach athletes of all ages, but primarily focus on athletes 7th grade and up.

I played in the NFL with the New England Patriots in 2017 and the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2017-2018. Before reaching the NFL, I competed in the SEC at the University of Arkansas, earning the honors of being a 2x Captain and 2x Academic All-American as well as being a finalist for the Academic Heisman Trophy, the Campbell Trophy Award.

Sessions are an hour long. The focus of each workout will vary depending on the player's strengths and weaknesses, both of which need to be cultivated. We'll start with a dynamic warmup to activate all muscle groups and the nervous system while also expanding the range of motion through each joint. Then, we'll go into agility or plyometric work, followed by a strength or speed workout. Finally, we'll go into 30 minutes of position-specific drills that develop the fundamental technique required for success.

Client Reviews

Small group, trainers were hands on, son enjoyed, experienced new warm-up/stretches, and he is looking at next classes 👍
Proud to see his development over the last 6 months and his increased confidence and mental toughness 💪🏼
His training sessions are physical and intense. He’s taught me how to be physical with blockers, how to tackle properly, and how to carry an aggressive, tough football mentality. I learn and correct so much from his film study sessions. He’s taught me everything from the importance of pre-snap reads to exactly what I should think and do throughout the play.
Our first sesssion and it seemed very involved and versatile. I really like the written evaluations afterwards. Shows communication and commitment to make my kid better and more skilled at the end of the day.
Brooks Ellis Coaching has been an incredible influence on my son Tate, both in terms of his football skills and his work ethic. From day one, Brooks recognized Tate's potential and pushed him to strive for excellence, not just in the game but in every practice and drill. Brooks’ consistent feedback and encouragement helped Tate refine his technique, whether it was improving his footwork, reading plays, or enhancing his speed. But beyond the physical skills, Brooks helped instill a sense of discipline and commitment in Tate that extended off the field as well. By setting high expectations and holding Tate accountable, Brooks taught him the importance of hard work, persistence, and resilience. Watching Tate grow in both confidence and ability has been encouraging and I’m truly grateful for the positive impact he’s had on my son.
Brooks has been such a positive influence in my son’s life. His guidance and motivation have visibly impacted my son's athletic development. He can relate to the boys by infusing fun while instilling discipline in their work ethic. In the six months (so far) of working with Coach Brooks, my son's footwork has improved significantly, allowing him to excel on both sides of the football every game. The conditioning work has made him look like he could play four more quarters without burnout! Brooks has taken his strengths and developed them further. Coach Brooks has instilled in my son the importance of recovery for peak performance, even at the age of 13. Through his training sessions, my son has learned the value of taking care of his body, and he now understands that recovery is crucial for maintaining his athletic prowess. Brooks introduced him to breathwork techniques. I thought he would laugh at this practice, but he utilizes it not only when he's nervous in sports but also in other aspects of life. The impact of Coach Brooks' training extends beyond football. It has also enhanced my son's hand-eye coordination and speed for base running in baseball. The comprehensive training approach transcends specific sports and focuses on developing well-rounded athletes, mind and body. I highly recommend Coach Brooks Ellis to any parent looking to enhance their child's athletic abilities. His dedication, knowledge, and ability to inspire and motivate make him an exceptional coach. With Coach Brooks, your child will not only improve their athletic skills but also gain valuable life lessons.
