Jim Hurney

I am currently in my 4th year of being the DB/WR Coach as well as the Special Teams Coordinator for Myrtle Beach Collegiate Academy. I also operate as a Strength and Conditioning coach. We get athletes out of high school and take a season to help them earn scholarships to college. Directly coached over 30 scholarship athletes(DB/WR), 15 of those having D1 opportunities.

Played 3 years of 4A Varsity High School football for Charlotte Catholic High School. Went to 2 State Championships, won one, and lost in the state semifinals. Led the #1 defense in NC in takeaways, all conference player. Played football at Catawba College and had to medically retire before getting back into coaching.

I give athletes structured flexibility. I excel in talent evaluation and identifying what athletes need to improve on the most to help them take the next step. My expertise can help me train any athlete from a physical and athletic standpoint, whether that be working on flexibility/explosiveness/etc. In terms of position specific training for the DB/WR position I am experienced in teaching physical techniques including footwork, helping athletes drop their hips, eliminating bad habits, and teaching them what college/professional coaches look for. I am also very comfortable in teaching football sessions from an IQ standpoint. Different types of techniques for man/zone for DBs and for WRs how to attack man/zone and recognizing coverages you will see, where the weak spots are, and how to attack them.
