More About Coach Chris

I have been fortunate to be coached by the best. Maryland has a rich tradition of athletes. From Olney Boys and Girls Club I recieved great training. Coaches simplified the X and O's allowing for players to perform. High school was the same. My head coaches came from Notre Dame where precision and discipline was the focus. I lost 5 games in high school. My track coach was a former college athletes. He taught the value of hardwork and preparation. I ran in the Penn Relays two years in a row. The electricity of running in frontbof 40,000 people prepared me for the NFL. I also ran in Syracuse my senior year for Indoor National Championship. Our 4x100 teams had 4 Division 1 athletes on it. At Howard University all but one coach played in the NFL. The richness of tradition, coaching and excellence I learned from them. As a four year starter I only gave up 6 touchdowns in my career. Finally, the League. The NFL taught me attention to detail. Discovering competition at its purest form. Believing you must take what is yours by way of mentaltoughness.
