More About Coach Eric

I have been training athletes for over 15 years. With a B.S. in Biology and a M.S. in Exercise Physiology, I have been able to coach track and field on the junior high, high school, AAU, and college level with great success. I have also been a strength and conditioning coach for over 10 years. I am a strength and conditioning coach for football, basketball, volleyball, cheerleading, wrestling, baseball, tennis, and track/field and a speed and agility specialist for football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and track/field.

I have coached basketball for over 10 years. Within those 10 years I have had four teams go undefeated in regular season and two teams win a conference title. 85% of players who train under me have gone on to play at the college level either on scholarship or as a walk on.

The age groups I coach for strength and conditions is 13 to adult and for speed and agility is 5 to adult.

I have several industry certifications such as:
NASM - CPT (Certified Personal Trainer)
NASM - CES (Corrective Exercise Specialist
NASM - FSN (Fitness Nutrition Specialist)
NASM - PES (Performance Enhancement Specialist)
IYCA - SAS (Speed and Agility Specialist)

As an athletic on the HS level, I competed in track and field. I was nominated to the All-Conference team my sophomore, junior and senior year in both the 400m (48.6) and 800m (155.3) At the college level I was ranked 16th in the 800m for the NCAA Div II with a time of 151.7 (school record) and was inducted into my college (Livingstone College) Hall of Fame Class of 2013.

A session for my clients will vary depending on their needs. No two days are the same. However, whatever their needs are, they will get bigger, stronger, and faster.

Coach Eric is doing off-season conditioning with my son for track. In the first session he noticed flaws with my son as far a strength he needed - he is very observant. I highly recommend!

Coach Whiteside is one of the most influential people I have come across in my basketball career. He allowed me to find my potential and go beyond it. Even now when I think I can’t make it through a practice, I think back to my workouts with Coach Eric. Even when I was physically and emotionally exhausted, he somehow willed me to keep going. Coach is constantly finding new ways to give his athletes an edge over their competitors. Having never played organized basketball, I had no clue what to expect. A big thing Coach emphasizes was the basic fundamental drills in basketball. Not only did he teach me the basics, but he also taught many exercises to enhance my performance and stressed the importance of how to do them properly in order to get the best results. Seeing how much further along I am in regards to strength, agility, and skill in comparison to the other athletes at my level. I now realize that all the hard work was worth it. Thanks Coach Eric!
I was a 5″,8 165 lbs aspiring college pitcher with an average, 65-70 mph fastball when I met Coach Eric. The only looks I was receiving were from several community colleges and three division II schools. After working with coach in strength and condition as well as speed/agility, I am going into my senior year of high school bigger and stronger (5”10’ 185lbs), I can run faster, and can now throw 86-88 mphs fastballs. This physical and mental transformation has helped me become a Division I prospect pitcher. I have never met anyone that knows as much as Coach Eric does about how to get the most out of their athletes. I would not be coming in as the starting pitcher right now without Coach Eric’s help. Thanks again for everything coach and you better come see me pitch this season!
