Leroy H.

I currently serve as the Football Director for the Everett Crimson Tide youth football program and Head Coach of the 9U team. Over the years I have worked with athletes ranging from beginner youth players to advanced competitive travel and all-star level athletes throughout Massachusetts and New England. My coaching experience includes player development, practice planning, game preparation, leadership mentoring, and building disciplined team culture both on and off the field.

I specialize in youth football fundamentals including tackling technique, blocking, offensive and defensive development, conditioning, and confidence building. I have helped organize tournaments, all-star showcases, and competitive travel football opportunities while mentoring athletes to improve not only their football IQ, but also accountability, teamwork, and work ethic.

I regularly work with athletes ages 7–14 and pride myself on creating a high-energy, structured environment where players can grow, compete, and enjoy the game. My coaching style combines discipline, motivation, and positive leadership to help athletes maximize their potential.

My athletic background and coaching journey have allowed me to compete and work at a highly competitive youth football level throughout Massachusetts and New England. I have coached multiple successful youth football teams including Everett Crimson Tide and regional all-star/travel programs. I have also helped develop athletes selected for elite tournaments and showcase events, including Massachusetts vs. Connecticut youth football competitions.

As a coach and mentor, I focus heavily on player development, team culture, toughness, and preparing athletes for higher levels of competition. I have experience organizing competitive schedules, coaching against top regional programs, and helping athletes improve their skills, confidence, and football knowledge.

My greatest accomplishment is helping young athletes develop both on and off the field by teaching discipline, leadership, accountability, and teamwork while creating an environment built around hard work, respect, and competitive excellence.

Each session is designed to build confidence, discipline, football IQ, and overall athletic performance in a high-energy and structured environment. I begin every workout with dynamic stretching, movement preparation, and footwork to improve balance, speed, agility, and coordination. From there, sessions transition into position-specific drills tailored to the athlete’s age, experience level, and goals.

For football athletes, I focus heavily on fundamentals such as tackling technique, blocking, ball security, route running, defensive pursuit angles, footwork, hand placement, and overall game awareness. I also incorporate conditioning, reaction drills, competition periods, and situational training to help athletes perform under pressure.

I believe in hands-on coaching with high attention to detail, positive energy, accountability, and repetition. Every athlete will leave a session challenged, motivated, and better prepared both mentally and physically. My goal is not only to improve athletic performance, but also to build confidence, leadership, discipline, and a strong work ethic that carries over beyond sports.
