It was a number of years ago that I met Shawn. At first I was dutifully impressed with a young coach seeking to gain knowledge and pass it on to his athletes. He absorbed & dissected information at a extraordinary pace but always taking the time to truly understand what "it" all meant and how he could not only better his athletes on the field but in life. As I continued to work with Shawn, I learnt more about him and his extraordinary dedication and ability as a coach and mentor. With the development of the Renegade certified team of coaches I wished to establish an elite team that would stand above the rest to which I know Shawn is a cornerstone that we can all rely upon. I am proud to have Shawn as a major part of Renegade Training and so will you as he leads you to a bright future.
