About Us

Founded by local Division I and professional football veterans, Gentle Giant Training exists to help the next generation of football players build confidence, sharpen their game, and prepare for meaningful opportunities beyond high school.

Football centered on a marked field

Our Mission

To help local athletes earn the same opportunities we were afforded by providing accessible training for the community that raised us. We teach the ins and outs of college and professional football, develop player IQ and style of play, and establish a rock-solid foundation based on strength, awareness, intelligence, and grit.

Our Vision

To help as many kids as possible earn college scholarships by creating a trusted, accessible football development program that equips them to navigate the modern college football experience. Creating Gentle Giants — athletes with high recruitability, skill, character, and strength on and off the field.
