I have consistently been involved with the sport of football both from a player stand point as well as a coach, mentor and trainer. Throughout high school I worked with Elementary and Middle school kids in order to improve their skills. As I reached college I began to train and mentor kids below me who had an aspiration of playing division 1 football. While at at college I had the opportunity to work with kids from the age of 6-12 to develop their knowledge, catching, passing and footwork. Additionally while at college I was able to work with the surrounding high schools in the area to start a weekly training program for the athletes who wanted to attend college on a football scholarship. I firmly believe the key to training athletes is to lay out their goals and methodically work towards accomplishing them. The game of football has given so much to me, I just want a chance to share those lessons and experiences with future players.

I grew up playing football in San Diego county. I was voted 3-time all league player and two time all CIF offensive linemen. I then was offered 8 Division 1 scholarships and eventually chose to pursue my dream of playing division 1 football at Cal Poly SLO. I redshirted my Freashmen year and then was a four year starter for the Mustangs. I played two season as offensive guard earning Big sky honorable mention my 3rd year. I then finished my last two years as a center. During that time period we won the rushing title for all FCS schools, and a playoff berth. Personally I received 1st-team all Big Sky as well as Honorable mention accolades. Lastly, I was voted team captain by our players and staff to lead our team for my senior season. These would be similar goals that I hope the athlete I am work with will aspire for.

A 1 hour session with me would began with a dynamic warmup follow by general footwork after this we would warm up our upper bodies with hand fighting drills. During this time period we will talk about what we worked on the previous day as well as go through the script for the day. Then we would move into specified footwork. For example, with an o-linemen we would work power step, kick set, post set, pull steps, down block footwork, reach footwork as well as a base block footwork. Then we would move into our run drills. This would include transferring the footwork into a game simulated block.This will be done for both feet on both sides of the ball. Then we would began our passing drills. This will include 1 on 1's, sets, counter moves, as well as quick and hard sets. Finishing off our session would be a more fast paced drill that directly takes the skills we worked on that day and applies them to a live session.
