About your football coach

A highly accomplished and durable outside linebacker, starting 40 consecutive games during a standout collegiate career. Consistently a key defensive playmaker, recording a total of 257 tackles, 24 tackles for loss, and 5 sacks over four seasons. Demonstrated versatility with multiple pass breakups, forced fumbles, and key special teams contributions, including a blocked field goal. 2018 Mountain West Champion / 2018 Las Vegas Bowl Champion / 2017 Hawaii Bowl Champion. As a senior in 2018, I ranked fifth on the team with 80 tackles and 11.5 tackles for loss, while also securing an interception and a fumble recovery. In 2017, posted 71 tackles and played a crucial role in the team's defense, continuing a streak of consistent high-level performance. A proven leader since my sophomore season, finishing 2016 as one of the team’s top tacklers with 59 stops. As a freshman, I made an immediate impact with 47 tackles, the most by a Bulldog true freshman since 1995, and was an All-American as a True Freshman. A three-time first-team all-district honoree in high school, excelling in football while also lettering in basketball and track. A proven competitor with a strong work ethic, football IQ, and the ability to make big plays in crucial moments.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonMy approach is built on discipline, strategic development, and a deep understanding of what it takes to maximize performance. Whether you're an aspiring athlete, a seasoned competitor, or someone looking to improve fitness and skills, I tailor my training to fit your specific goals.
Lesson 4-101. Warm-Up (10-15 minutes) Dynamic stretching to increase flexibility and prevent injury. Light cardio (jogging, high knees, etc.) to elevate the heart rate and prepare the body for intense activity. Mobility exercises focusing on key joints to enhance range of motion. 2. Skill Development (20-30 minutes) Position-Specific Drills: Depending on the athlete's role, we'll focus on drills to refine technique. For example, if working with a linebacker, drills may involve tackling form, footwork, or pass coverage. Game-Like Scenarios: Running through situations that replicate in-game conditions, helping athletes make decisions under pressure (e.g., 1v1 situations, reading the opponent's movements). Film Study/Feedback (if applicable): Reviewing film of past games or practice footage to identify areas for improvement and make real-time adjustments. 3. Strength & Conditioning (20-25 minutes) Sport-Specific Exercises: Focused on building strength, speed, agility, and power tailored to the athlete's sport. For example, sprints, plyometrics, or resistance training. Endurance Drills: Depending on the athlete’s needs, these can include interval training, circuit drills, or agility ladders to build overall stamina and responsiveness. 4. Mental & Tactical Training (10-15 minutes) Game IQ Training: Reviewing strategies or opponent tendencies, helping the athlete develop a deeper understanding of game scenarios. Mental Focus: Teaching visualization techniques, mindfulness, or mental toughness drills to improve concentration and performance under stress. Leadership & Teamwork: Engaging in exercises that foster communication, trust, and collaboration, ensuring the athlete is prepared to lead both on and off the field. 5. Cool-Down (5-10 minutes) Static stretching to improve flexibility and reduce muscle tension. Light jogging or walking to gradually bring the heart rate down. Reflection time, where feedback is given on the session’s performance and improvement areas are discussed. 6. Post-Session Discussion Goal-setting: Discuss short- and long-term goals, track progress, and identify areas to focus on in future sessions. Motivation and encouragement to keep the athlete motivated and committed to the process. Each training session is tailored to the individual’s needs, ensuring they are always working on the areas that will help them reach their full potential. Whether it’s refining technique, building physical strength, or developing mental toughness, every component of the session is designed to enhance performance.
Lesson 2-3A typical training session focuses on both physical development and mental preparation, with a well-rounded approach that includes skill-building, conditioning, strategy, and feedback.
