Building Trust in the Trenches: A Message to High School Coaches


As a former high school coach and offensive line specialist, I understand the protective instinct coaches have about their players' development. You've invested countless hours teaching technique, building culture, and developing your system. The last thing you want is off-season training that contradicts your teachings or creates bad habits.


That's exactly why we built Trench Academy differently.


Our Philosophy

We believe in supplementing, not replacing, your program's development. Our training reinforces fundamental techniques while giving your athletes additional repetitions in a controlled environment. Every drill, every technique session, and every competitive rep is designed to enhance what you're already teaching.


Position-Specific Focus

Unlike general training programs, we specialize exclusively in offensive line play. This allows us to:

  • Dive deep into technical details

  • Provide position-specific coaching

  • Focus on the nuances of O-line play

  • Give your athletes maximum relevant reps


Quality Over Quantity

We intentionally keep our groups small to ensure:

  • Individual attention for every athlete

  • Proper technique on every rep

  • Immediate feedback and correction

  • Safe, controlled progression


Open Communication

We believe in partnership with high school programs. This means:

  • Regular updates on player progress

  • Alignment on technique and terminology

  • Flexibility to incorporate your program's specific needs

  • Open dialogue about development goals


Expert Coaching

Our coaching staff brings experience from multiple levels:

  • Collegiate playing experience

  • High school coaching backgrounds

  • Professional development expertise

  • Current understanding of modern techniques


Beyond Technique

While technical development is crucial, we also focus on:

  • Building confident athletes

  • Developing leadership qualities

  • Improving football IQ

  • Fostering work ethic and discipline


The Results

When your athletes train with us, they return to your program:

  • More technically sound

  • Better conditioned

  • More confident in their abilities

  • Hungry to keep developing


We understand that entrusting your athletes to outside training isn't a decision taken lightly. That's why we invite coaches to observe our sessions, provide input, and see firsthand how we can help supplement your program's development.

emember: our goal isn't to replace your coaching - it's to provide additional quality repetitions and development opportunities that help your athletes reach their full potential.
