About your football coach
If you’re serious about getting better, really better, I’m here to help you get there. I’m Coach DJ Foster, a former Army service member, collegiate athlete, and experienced football coach who’s passionate about developing athletes who compete with confidence, discipline, and control. My coaching background includes serving as a Defensive Coordinator for youth football, Head Coach for middle school boys and girls flag football, and Defensive Backs Coach at St. Frances Academy, experiences that have shaped my athlete-centered, development-first approach. My training philosophy is built around the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model, meeting each athlete where they are physically, mentally, and emotionally to help them progress the right way. Every session is designed to improve movement efficiency, decision-making, and football IQ while reinforcing character traits like focus, accountability, and emotional discipline. Parents can expect a structured, safe, and positive environment that prioritizes steady improvement over shortcuts. My goal is to develop complete athletes, skilled, confident, and resilient young people who are prepared to excel in sports and in life. “Discipline beats motivation when motivation isn’t disciplined.” That’s the mindset I build into every athlete I train.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWhen I work with a beginner, my focus is on teaching, not testing. I start by getting to know the athlete, their goals, confidence level, and how they learn best. From there, we build a foundation through movement, footwork, and body control while keeping things simple and positive. My approach follows the LTAD model, which means I focus on long-term growth, not quick fixes. Every first session is about setting the tone, building trust, effort, and discipline that athletes can carry into every stage of their development.
Lesson 11+In the later lessons, athletes move from learning to mastering. Training becomes more refined and game-focused, with an emphasis on confidence, consistency, and emotional discipline. At this point, players begin to think, move, and compete like true athletes, focused, accountable, and in control of their game.
Lesson 4-10By lessons four through ten, athletes start putting everything together. We build on fundamentals with more game-like drills, faster decision-making, and controlled competition. This stage is all about growth, turning mechanics into instincts, effort into confidence, and discipline into performance.
Lesson 2-3By the second and third lessons, athletes start building confidence through consistency. We move from basic fundamentals into position-specific skills, controlled competition, and game-like situations. The focus is on progress, not perfection, helping athletes understand why we train a certain way while developing discipline, control, and confidence in their movements.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonFor advanced players, the first session is about evaluation and connection. I start by learning their goals, watching how they move, and understanding how they process feedback. From there, I assess mechanics, speed, and football IQ to identify strengths and areas for improvement. The goal is to find the small details that separate good from great, and build a plan around them.
Lesson 11+In the later lessons, training shifts to mastery and mental performance. We focus on situational awareness, adaptability, and performing under pressure. At this point, every athlete should feel confident leading, communicating, and controlling the tempo of play. The goal is to leave fully prepared, technically sharp, mentally strong, and ready to compete at the next level.
Lesson 4-10Between lessons four and ten, advanced players should expect to be pushed beyond their comfort zone. We fine-tune position-specific details, study film or tendencies when possible, and create high-rep, game-like environments. Every drill has a purpose, improving anticipation, reaction, and leadership. This phase is about separating yourself from the competition through discipline and execution.
Lesson 2-3By the second and third lessons, we start sharpening the edges. Each session becomes more targeted, focused on precision, decision-making, and competing at game speed. I challenge athletes through advanced drills, controlled competition, and situational work that forces them to think under pressure. The focus is refinement and raising their standard of consistency.
Youth players
Working with kidsWhen I work with kids, my focus is on making the game fun, positive, and purposeful. I keep things structured but simple, using clear demonstrations, relatable language, and drills that feel like games while still teaching the fundamentals. The goal is to build confidence early so they stay engaged and excited to learn.
I adapt each lesson based on their age, attention span, and experience level. Some kids need more movement and energy; others need slower breakdowns and repetition. Either way, I always make sure they’re learning why we’re doing something, not just how.
Everything comes back to development. I follow the LTAD model to make sure the training fits where they are physically, mentally, and emotionally, building coordination, control, and discipline that grow with them as athletes and young people.
Working with teenagersWhen I work with teenagers, I focus on challenge and accountability. At that age, athletes are ready to be pushed, but they also need to understand the why behind everything we do. I make my sessions competitive, detailed, and intentional, with an emphasis on effort, communication, and composure under pressure.
I adapt my lessons by matching their maturity level and goals. Some teens need structure and confidence; others need refinement and leadership. Either way, I make sure they leave each session understanding how small details impact their overall performance.
My approach still follows the LTAD model, building not just athletic ability, but emotional discipline and decision-making. Teen athletes are learning how to handle real competition and real adversity, so I train them to think, respond, and carry themselves like the next level is already here.
