Book Private Football Lessons with Coach Keith

I’m a high school football coach with over 10 years of coaching experience and a background as a professional football player, having competed in arena football & overseas. My playing experience, combined with years of coaching, allows me to teach the game with real-world perspective and clarity.

I’ve served as a defensive coordinator and helped build one of the top high school defenses in Texas, but my true passion is teaching and player development. I’m extremely hands-on in my coaching and take pride in helping athletes understand the game, not just memorize drills.

I’ve worked with athletes at every level, from youth players to high school varsity athletes. I’ve personally trained athletes who had never played football before and helped them earn Division I full-ride scholarships, along with developing multiple All-District and All-State players. I also coach my daughters’ soccer teams, which has strengthened my ability to teach fundamentals, confidence, and competitiveness at younger ages.

My coaching style is built on fundamentals, technique, and football IQ. I focus on helping athletes understand the “why” behind what they’re doing so they can play fast, confident, and under control. When players trust their preparation, their performance follows.

My goal is simple: meet athletes where they are, push them to the next level, and help them grow not just as athletes, but as disciplined, confident young people.

• Teach proper fundamentals and technique that translate directly to game performance

• Break the game down so athletes understand what to do and why

• Improve football IQ, positioning, and decision-making

• Build confidence through preparation and repetition

• Provide hands-on, personalized coaching based on the athlete’s skill level

• Develop discipline, effort, and accountability on and off the field

• High-rep, high-focus work to build confidence and consistency

• Competitive elements to simulate game speed and pressure

• Wrap-up with feedback, takeaways, and areas to focus on moving forward

The best coach I ever had was my defensive coordinator in Germany. While I didn’t always agree with everything we did schematically, his passion for the game is what made me truly fall in love with football and coaching.

He connected with me on a personal level, inviting me into his home to watch film and helping me understand game plans beyond the field. That investment meant more to me than any scheme ever could.

I took that passion and paired it with my own knowledge and understanding of the game to become the coach I always wanted growing up, especially at the high school and college levels. My goal is to build real relationships with athletes and help them grow through trust, teaching, and genuine care.

I care deeply about the athletes I coach and take my responsibility seriously. I’m very hands-on and intentional in how I teach, making sure athletes understand not just what to do, but why it matters.

I meet athletes where they are. Whether someone is brand new to sports or an experienced player looking to reach the next level, I tailor my coaching to their needs and learning style. I coach with high standards, but I also build real relationships rooted in trust, respect, and accountability.

I value effort, discipline, and preparation. I believe confidence is built through consistent work, and my goal is to help athletes grow both in their performance and in how they carry themselves. Parents can expect clear communication, professionalism, and a coach who genuinely wants the best for their child.
