Any one can, and will, coach football. I consider myself to be a football teacher with a major area of emphasis on offensive and defensive line. I will instruct you, or your son, on proper stance, get off, footwork, hand placement and all around lineman play. I will walk you, not crawl with you, through drills and techniques allowing you the time and reps to maximize success on the field. I have, and will, work with any age group or skill set. I have trained and coached many athletes throughout my adult life and watched as they experienced continued success on all levels of the sport. Allow me to install the fundamentals, mental fortitude and drive needed to succeed on and off the football field.

I lettered in varsity football at Luther Burbank highschool in Sacramento Ca. I started at defensive and offensive line, playing in the schools first playoff appearance in CIF history. I played nose tackle at Sacramento City College College starting 8 games as a freshman. We finished 4th in the state and top 15 in the nation. After suffering a severe knee injury and devastating family losses, I walked away from college football. 3 years out of college I played one year of semi pro football with the Daly City Renegades. I played defensive tackle starting 10 games, recording 12 sacks, over 30 tackles and a touchdown in our state championship run. I always had talent but lacked commitment and hard work, which is why I drill work ethic and coachability into any and all of the athletes I train. Looking back I see the error in my ways and try to prevent young athletes from mirroring my mistakes.

I will coach you through proper warm-ups including a number of dynamic stretches to prepare your body to work. We will break into a number of drills to help you as an all around athlete. Speed work, hand and feet quickness, change of direction, explosive movement and strength building. We will then dive into position specific drills that will strengthen your foundation and give you a better understanding of the position you play. Once I am comfortable with your fundamentals and basic knowledge, we will begin to add tools to your game. The quicker you learn, the more tools you will have in your bag, the more tools you possess, the more dangerous you become. I coach athletes to be dominant through hard work and solid fundamentals.
