About Us

As both a parent and a coach, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to give your child everything they need to succeed as an athlete. Sometimes, you simply don’t know where to start. Other times, you’re juggling so much that you can’t find the time. I understand the struggle because I lived it.

When I was growing up, my single father did everything he could for me, but there were still so many gaps in the process. My dad looked to the coaches to figure things out, yet those coaches only had a few hours during the season to devote to me. If I wanted to get any extra training or work on fundamentals, it was up to my dad and me to figure it out. The trouble was, we didn’t know what we didn’t know—finding that “competitive edge” felt nearly impossible. On top of that, we were left trying to reverse-engineer how to get good at my sport, which was a huge undertaking.

With limited resources, I turned to books. Back then, we didn’t have the internet, so I spent hours—days, months, and years—reading and piecing together the best information I could find. My dad, God bless him, offered advice with the best intentions. But following the old-school methods he knew ended up causing me a serious injury that forced me to give up my first love: football.
 

Fortunately, that wasn’t the end of my story. I shifted my focus to track, specifically the long jump. I applied everything I’d learned from those books to improve my jumping and footwork. The payoff was huge: between my junior seasons, I jumped from 18 feet to 21 feet. My confidence soared, and it all came down to developing a simple, consistent routine that built on itself over time.
 

Later, when I became a coach, I realized that giving kids a clear, step-by-step plan was one of the most valuable gifts I could offer them. It’s not just about technique—it’s about ensuring they have the best opportunity to reach their goals. This approach removes guilt for parents who feel they’re not doing enough because a practical, efficient routine ensures every effort counts.
 

If my story shows anything, it’s that we don’t need to know everything right off the bat. We just need to commit to learning and supporting our young athletes as best we can. Small daily actions really do add up, and that’s the foundation of giving your child every chance to succeed in both sports and life.
