Specializing in FUNdamentals

I’m Coach TJ, a native of Los Angeles. From the age of 8 to 23, I played football. It was my passion and I wanted nothing more than to be a professional football player. But my career ended at the University of Idaho, but my passion for the game remained, and so did my desire to coach young men and assist them in becoming the best ball players they can be. I coached pop warner football at Inglewood Junior All American and high school football at Beverly Hills High for three years. Now Baller Prep, my training program for young men, will teach them the essentials so they can become successful football players at all ages. And it starts with the fundamentals!

​

The FUNdamentals of football are my specialty. Our youth today need more training in the basic techniques in order to be a solid football player. For example, one of the key fundamentals is keeping your head up during plays. This sounds simple, but mastery of this element can help to prevent injuries.

​

No matter the skill level, at Baller Prep, your child will develop confidence, self-esteem, and football control (fundamentals). My goal is to nurture and build solid football players who can play the game safely. Each session at Baller Prep will be limited to ten players to ensure that personal attention is given to each young athlete. Their growth and progression on the field will not be compromised. Quality over quantity.

​

I’ve been coached by and played with some of the best college and professional coaches across the country. At Baller Prep, the knowledge I’ve amassed will be passed down to the next generation of football players. I look forward to meeting and hearing for you and your future footballers.

Thank you,

Coach TJ
