<\/span><\/p>\n

Why did you decide to become a private coach?<\/strong>
\nAfter playing 5 years of professional football<\/a> in the NFL, I realized the lack of quality football coaches<\/a> there are training young athletes. Knowledge is the key to all success in life, and I pride myself in being able to instill my professional knowledge and experiences with my clients.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What do you enjoy most about coaching?<\/strong>
\nThe biggest reward in coaching is seeing your clients able to achieve their ultimate goals. The look on a child’s face when they receive a scholarship<\/a> or become one of the top players in their region after no one knew about them is priceless!<\/p>\n

What can a client expect from private lessons with you?<\/strong>
\nClients should expect to see results in every aspect of life. Training the body also trains the mind. It instills confidence in everyday activities and in school. I also require my clients to communicate articulately and professionally. Becoming a professional athlete<\/a> is more than just being the best athlete on the field. It’s how you carry yourself and how others perceive you. You don’t have to be in the NFL to be a professional.<\/p>\n

What is your coaching style or philosophy?<\/strong>
\nTo cultivate strength and character beyond technical and tactical skills. It is my mission to unlock the full potential of the human spirit through quality training and academic excellence in a demanding and challenging environment. My CORE VALUES include, but are not limited to: Education, Teamwork, Skill Development, Character Development, Athleticism, Strict Discipline, High Work-Rate and a Winning Mentality.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite moment in your athletic career?<\/strong>
\nMy favorite moment of my athletic career was in 2007 when we (UCLA Bruins) beat the #2 ranked USC Trojans in the Rose Bowl. It was so monumental to me because no one ever thought we could beat them.<\/p>\n

Did you participate in your sport in high school and college?<\/strong>
\nYes I went to Diamond Bar High School and then onto attend UCLA.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite sports related movie?<\/strong>
\nMy favorite football movie is “Any Given Sunday.”<\/p>\n

Who is your favorite coach and why?<\/strong>
\nMy favorite coach is Bill Belichick. His passion, brilliance, and drive can make a mediocre player great along with his ability to recognize talent which others overlook.<\/p>\n

What team do you root for most enthusiastically? (any sport)<\/strong>
\nDepending on the sport the Oklahoma City Thunder or the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
