Most people know me as Blessings. I'm a Berklee College of Music alumnus, music producer, songwriter, entrepreneur, and founder of Kolab Suites 21. I've worked alongside Grammy-winning artist CeeLo Green and contributed to projects connected to Billboard-charting talent. Through years of studio experience, artist development, and business building, I help creatives grow their skills, careers, and confidence while turning passion into purpose and opportunity.

I played QB at GT. Played professionally for the Bucs and Colts and I’m currently in the College Football Hall of Fame. All-American, All-ACC and Davey O’Brian winner as the best quarterback in college! I shape tactically astute, resilient footballers through disciplined training and a professional, enjoyable approach. With several years teaching, I combine technical precision, tactical insight, and tailored plans to accelerate each player's progress while keeping sessions engaging.

Built by the game. Proven through leadership. From playing football to coaching and developing student-athletes, I’ve spent years learning what separates potential from performance: discipline, accountability, preparation, and relentless effort. I bring the mindset of a competitor and the experience of a leader—helping individuals and teams perform at their highest level. I don’t just understand the game. I understand what it takes to build winners.

I combine precise technique with an engaging, approachable coaching style to elevate each player's game. I have taught tennis for several years, specializing in stroke mechanics, tactical development and mental resilience. I am committed to disciplined progress and sustained enjoyment.

"My husband and I have been coaching with Coach Dwain for almost three years now and he’s been amazing. We both started as complete beginners, and he’s helped us understand the fundamentals, improve our stroke technique and really build our game over time. He’s very patient, encouraging and always brings great energy to every session. He genuinely wants us to do well and is always motivating us and pepping us up before matches. He also gives really helpful tips and strategies around actual gameplay, which has made a huge difference for us when we’re playing matches. We’ve improved so much over the years and have really started enjoying the game a lot more. Would definitely recommend Coach Dwain to anyone looking for a great tennis coach!

Coach Nate's Playbook: Life, Football, and Everything in Between"* Hey there, fam! 👋 I'm Coach Nate, a Georgia boy born and raised in Macon, GA. I spent over a decade coachin' football in Chico, California, but I'm thrilled to be back home in Macon, where my heart is. As a football coach and trainer with Harris Elite Training, I've had the privilege of workin' with some of the most talented young athletes in the country, from ages 5-18. It's been an incredible journey, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to give back to my community. *My Story* Grown in Macon, I played football from a young age and knew that's what I wanted to do – coach and help young athletes develop their skills. I spent over 12 years coachin' in California, but the call to come back home and make a difference in my community was too strong to ignore. *My Coaching Philosophy* At Harris Elite Training, we focus on developin' the whole athlete – physically, mentally, and emotionally. I believe that football is a vehicle for life lessons, character development, and personal growth. My goal is to help my players become the best versions of themselves, on and off the field. Stay tuned for more updates, and let's make every day count! 🏈

"But what I appreciate most about Coach Nate is his heart. He's got a genuine passion for helpin' young people succeed, and it's infectious. He's built strong relationships with his players, and they respect and admire him tremendously. If you're lookin' for a coach who's gonna make a real difference in your child's life, look no further than Coach Nate. He's the real deal!"

With a love for the game, I cultivate skill in my students. I blend patience with expert guidance to unlock their potential. I bring enthusiasm and effective teaching to every lesson.
