Coach Steven Thomas - Founder / All Sports Trainer & USA Level 1 Track & Field Coach
Over the years I have been involved in youth athletics in different capacities and have noticed the lack of preparation among our young-athletes. I have been an offensive coordinator, skills coach in positions: (QB, RB, LB, WR, CB, & DE). I’m a certified USA Level 1 Track & field coach, and a Motor Skills coach. I created Youth Elite Training to help introduce young athletes to a different approach to sports preparation on all levels (youth/high school/college/career).
I am committed to providing the highest level of training and individual instruction, to young athletes on the middle school and high school levels. I believe that developing each athlete to his or her fullest potential will ultimately lead to an elite level of individual and team play.
For the past few years, I have been improving the lives of dedicated Athletes in the Metro-Atlanta area. I am very selective about the Student-Athletes that comes through Youth Elite Training programs. The athletes are responsible for achieving the results, but we demand an enormous amount of discipline and determination. My training techniques are tough and challenging, but is soften by making workouts fun, exciting, and a bit different each time. The team I have built has been designed to meet the needs of the Youth and families we serve.
Youth Elite Training has lunched it Recruiting Program where we work with student-Athletes on college preparedness. Some of the challenges athletes face are trying to find direction in which way to go when it comes to higher learning and how to go about being recruited in sports. This program started over 4 years ago. Most of which has been networking with colleges and getting information on their recruiting practices. Youth Elite Training works with student-athletes and their families to map out the best solution for their higher learning path. Looking forward to the work. Hit me up.
