More About Coach Greg

Part of my resume has been being the Defensive Coordinator, Offensive and Defensive Line Coach, Special Teams Coach and Strength and Conditioning Coordinator for Professional Indoor Football Teams. I have been coaching for 27 years, the past 15 years as a football coach. I also coached High School, Semi-Pro and Youth leagues in Colorado and New Mexico. Two of my former players in High School in Colorado played for Mountain West schools and made it to the NFL where one is still an active player. When I moved home to New Mexico I joined the professional coaching ranks. I have been YAFL/USA football certified, also. I have been a member of the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and a member of USA Football.

I specialize in coaching offensive/defensive linemen and use the cutting edge technology of the LeCharles Bentley OLP program for offensive linemen. I was a quarterback and also have coached several quarterbacks to win multiple championships.

I have coached at every level from youth to professional. I enjoy each level of coaching. I have a program for each level of athlete from youth to professional. I start with the basics of each position and step by step build from there. For instance, stance. Each position has a proper stance that enables the player to start correctly. Start. How to get off the ball most effectively and efficiently. I work at helping the athlete develop the proper, solid fundamentals and advanced techniques, step by step, that enable them to compete at the highest levels.

I start each session with a dynamic warm up, followed by position specific drills that incorporate conditioning, specific skills for that position, flexibility, and strength in an all in one drill setting. Each drill is designed to build upon each other to achieve the goal of becoming a dominate football player at your position.

High School Golden Helmet Award winner. NMMI Junior College Football Team. Certified Member of The American Football Coaches Associaton (AFCA). Member of USA Football, a Division of the NFL.

I will start out the session, regardless of the age of the athlete and find out what their goals are and how they plan on achieving them. I will then start out with basic fundamentals such as stance and start. The more advanced athlete's we will move ahead at a much more rapid pace than with younger, less experienced athlete's. We will learn the fundamentals well and add on new, more advanced skills each session.

Coach Greg is great! He did a fantastic job teaching my son how to kick the ball. I would definitely ask for more tutors. My son wants to be a kicker or a punter. He hopes to join a football team next year. He is 9th grade.
Thank you Coach!

My son has played 5 seasons of football (spring and fall) so football is not new for him. In ONE session (today was his first with coach) he learned so much new things for his position. He learned stance, more effective tackles. My son is pumped to apply what he learned at his football practices and eventually into football games. Immediately following his session we got in the car to drive home. My son said, "mom he taught me a lot and that was way more fun than i thpught it would be. Are we going to do more sessions with him?" Thank you coach Greg for putting that spark back in my son's eye for football. Recently he hasnt been so enthusiastic. We are looking foward to his next session with coach Shamas. We are extremely pleased. It was worth way more than we paid. Definitely recommend.

Coach Shamas started training my son two and a half years ago. At the time my son was transitioning from soccer to football and was a backup receiver his first season. After Coach Shamas worked with my son in the off season, my son won the starting QB position. My son has continued to work with Coach Shamas and now excels at QB and appears poised to have a very promising high school career. Admittedly, my son is a very passionate about football and has an unusually strong work ethic. But hard work without good coaching does not result in rapid progress. Coach Shamas provides my son the skills essential to succeed.

Coach Greg provided excellent advice as well as helped me to improve my technique.

Coach Shamas is very knowledgeable about football, both in terms of mechanics and strategy, and works great with high school aged kids.

Coach Shamas was thorough, extremely knowledgable, and patient in my son's first session. He evaluated skill level, presented technique by demonstration and repetition, and left him with drills to improve speed and flexibility. The coaching he received was worth much more than the cost and he is looking forward to his next session.

We contacted Coachup in hopes of improving our sons football game. Working with Coach Shamas has really made some great improvements not only in our sons game but also in his confidence. We are very happy with the out come of the training sessions. We definitely recommend Coach Shamas if you want to improve your football game.
