Book Private Strength-and-speed Lessons with Coach Derek

As a multi-sport athlete, I thrived in a variety of disciplines that built my foundation in both strength and agility. I competed at the varsity level in both football and ice hockey, where I honed my skills in speed, power, and team dynamics. My time on the field and ice taught me the importance of discipline, perseverance, and leadership. Outside of organized sports, I stayed active by swimming and skateboarding, which further enhanced my coordination, balance, and overall athleticism.

These experiences shaped me into a well-rounded athlete and now guide my approach as a coach, helping athletes excel across multiple sports and activities.

"Attention all athletes, listen up! If you're serious about taking your game to the next level, I'm here to help you do just that.

With my personalized training programs, I don't just throw a one-size-fits-all approach at you. No, I take the time to assess your unique strengths and areas for improvement. From there, I create a plan specifically tailored to develop your speed, strength, and agility, all within the context of your sport.

But that's not all. I know how crucial it is for athletes to stay healthy and perform at their peak throughout the season. That's why I prioritize injury prevention and recovery, so you can stay in top shape and dominate on the field.

Let me tell you about a man who truly made a lasting impact on my life - my first youth football coach, Phil Burkhart. This guy wasn't just any coach, he was a true legend who instilled in us the importance of mental toughness, self-discipline, and the value of teamwork. Phil didn't just teach us the fundamentals of the game, he taught us life lessons that still ring true for me to this day. His coaching wasn't just about winning games, it was about shaping us into strong, resilient individuals who could face any challenge head-on.

Hey there athletes and parents! Let me tell you, when it comes to developing potential, I'm all in. I'm not here to mess around - I am fully committed to unlocking the physical and mental abilities of every athlete I work with. My coaching philosophy? It's all about creating a positive, kick-butt environment that motivates athletes to push past their limits. We're talking proper technique, injury prevention, and long-term athletic growth. But hey, I'm not just focused on stats and medals - I'm all about building character, discipline, and resilience too.

After years of coaching youth athletes, I can tell you one thing for sure: communication is key. I make it a priority to keep the lines open with both the athlete and the parents, because teamwork makes the dream work. My goal? Simple. I want each and every athlete to reach their full potential, on and off the field. So what are you waiting for? Let's do this!
