Private Lessons & Coaches in Manvel, TX

I bring over 15 years of football experience, from elite high school competition to collegiate play, and have dedicated my life to mastering the game and mentoring young athletes. I played for Kahuku High School in Hawaii, a program renowned for producing NFL talent, where I developed the discipline, work ethic, and competitive edge that shaped my football journey. Following high school, I competed at a top 5 junior college program, where I was recognized as one of the top 25 recruited safeties in the nation, earning a Division 1-level scholarship and receiving advanced training through elite programs such as DB Tech, under the guidance of Asai Gilman. During this time, I had the opportunity to play alongside long-time friend Alohi Gilman, now a professional athlete with the Baltimore Ravens. Although a cardiac arrest cut my playing career short, my passion for football never wavered. I am now focused on giving back to the next generation, using my experience to mentor, train, and inspire young athletes both on and off the field. My mission is to help kids develop not only their athletic skills but also the leadership, discipline, and resilience required to succeed in football and in life.

I’m Coach KeY! Volleyball has been a meaningful part of my life for many years, first as a player and now as a coach. I competed collegiately as a Middle Blocker, Outside Hitter, and Right Side Hitter, which gave me the opportunity to understand the game from multiple positions and perspectives. I began my college career at North Central Texas College (NCTC), where I played Middle Blocker as a freshman before transitioning to Outside and Right Side Hitter as a sophomore. I continued at Huston-Tillotson University as a Right Side Hitter before returning to Middle Blocker my senior year. In 2019, I ranked 14th in the NAIA in blocks, an accomplishment I’m especially proud of. Coaching has allowed me to share the lessons volleyball has taught me while connecting with athletes at different stages of their development. I’ve primarily coached athletes ages 15–17 with the Hurricanes, and I’ve also enjoyed helping younger players, including 12U athletes, through First Triumph, camps, and clinics. During private lessons, I focus on getting to know each athlete and understanding what they want to improve. Whether we’re working on hitting, blocking, passing, serving, footwork, positioning, or volleyball IQ, I create training that helps them feel more confident and prepared on the court. My goal is not only to help athletes become stronger volleyball players, but also to encourage their discipline, confidence, and love for the game.
