About Derrek

The 2024 football season has ended and the 2025 season starts today. There is no offseason, the truth is the time to prepare for the upcoming season is now. The amount of preparation you put in between December and July will determine your playing time and success on the field come August. July will be here before you know it, let's get started today.

Do you need a private coach? Yes you do. Simply put, a private coach will help you maximize your time by creating customized training programs designed to bring out your best. They will motivate you, push you, hold you accountable, and help you become the best the you.

It doesn’t matter If this will be your first season, if you are looking to break the starting lineup, or if you are trying to perfect your game to play at the next level, I can help you reach your goals.

My specialty is helping wide receivers and offensive linemen learn and perfect the fundamentals they need to be successful.

Wide Receivers:

- Releases

- Hands/Catching

- Route Running

- Reading Defenses

- Getting in and out of breaks properly.

Offensive Line:

- Footwork

- Punches and Hand Placement

- Lateral Speed and Agility

- Hip Mobility

- Run Block

- Pass Protection

What to expect: Each session lasts approximately an hour focusing on fundamentals, strength, speed and agility. Each session comes with a customized weekly program designed to address the areas a player needs to improve. This takes about 20-30 minutes each day to complete.

My coaching experience: I began coaching in 2010 as an offensive line coach for the Payson Lions (UT). Other positions held OC, WR coach.

In 2015 I was the OL and DL coach for the Provo Bulldogs (UT). Other positions held OC, WR and DB coach.

In 2018 I became the WR coach for the NW Saints (NC). Other positions held DC, Special Teams Coach, and OL coach. I am currently the WR coach.

I offer mini camps on Saturdays that are held at Wakefield High Schools practice field which is located in North Raleigh just off of Falls of Neuse Road.

The goal at Elite Sports Academy is to help athletes get better every day by providing fun, yet challenging workouts, that increase confidence while developing much needed fundamentals.

Thank you,

Coach Child

About the lesson

What is your story? What are your goals? This information combined with a quick evaluation will help me customize a program to help you reach your athletic goals.

First year or tenth year, I will help you play High School football.

Every coach is unique. My advice would be to make sure you tell a perspective coach what your goals are and listen to how they can help you achieve those goals. Talk to multiple coaches and choose one that you feel presented the best path to help you reach your goals.

I am enjoying the college football bowl season. BYU beat Colorado, and Boise State is hosting a CFP game. Proud to have grown up in the Rockies.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Be honest with yourself and write down what areas you feel you are good at and what areas you need to improve in to reach your goals. Use this information to find a coach who can help you in those areas.

Perfect! We have been thrilled with ours son's development working with Coach Childs. Coach Childs has been dedicated and committed to our child's progression. Previously a hockey player, football was a new skillset. Coach Childs developed a personalized plan with a week by week development plan. Results and improvements are visible! Our son looks forward to his weekly lesson and is learning a great deal. Highly recommend!

My son is preparing to play his first year of tackle football and we have started working with Derrek one on one. Derrek is great at what he does. The sessions are very structured and he goes into great detail explaining how each drill applies to in game situations. He is teaching my son how to have proper techniques and the importance of how doing small things correctly makes all the difference in a game. He even sent us home with a sheet of drills to do at home on our own. If you are looking for training I highly recommend Derrek!

Coach Derrek, is an amazing trainer. He is very thorough, well organized, takes his time to really teach proper techniques. You can tell he is passionate about training and very knowledgeable. I have seen tremendous growth in my son since he started following his training program. My son plays football. Derrek was able to assess him and see that his tendons in his leg, were too tight. This was preventing him from getting into his low football stance. He taught him ways to loosen them. The amount of progress, I have witnessed on a weekly basis has been incredible. My son is getting in not only the best shape of his life, but also ready for this next season! I would give 10 star's, if they were available!! The only regret, is I wish we started his program sooner!! If anyone is looking for a 1:1 training experience, with real gains look no further than Elite Sports Academy with Coach Derrek Child!
