thank you for the kind words

“Coach Blake is such a top phenomenal trainer, person and friend. He goes above and beyond for his players. He is very personable, compassionate, dedicated, professional and patient.

His knowledge and attention to detail is on a level that Everyone can benefit from. In just a few months training with Coach Blake my son has gotten stronger, faster and his quarterback technique is now on another level.

Coach Blake’s love and confidence for what he does resonates through his players and parents.”

I’ll never forgot our first meeting with Blake to talk with him about training our 9 year old son Kaiden in his QB position. Something we didn’t consider until Blake approached us with excitement because of the skills and potential he saw in Kaiden. Something about Blake’s knowledge and vision excited me to have Kaiden work with him, perfect his craft and become an overall better football player.

Needless to say Blake has far exceeded our expectations. His attention to detail is incredible and has helped Kaiden with proper mechanics to throw the ball as well as increasing his agility and endurance all while being incredibly patient.

To see a coach take pride in seeing his students bring their skills to fruition in any sport they are in and be supportive and show up for them, outside of “training time”, speaks volumes. We’re incredibly lucky to know him and for our son to have Blake in his life.”
