THE A-TEAM
COACHES & COACHABILITY
Colton comes to any sport with an uncanny respect for his coaches, ability to listen and learn quickly, and commitment to being coachable.
​
He started his training under the guidance of Bailey Hart from QB1 Charleston. At first, Bailey was hesitant to take on such a young athlete, unsure if a 7-year-old could truly focus and benefit from intense training.
However, Colton showed up in spades with his dedication and focus, leaving Bailey impressed and eager to continue his training.
​
Bailey's career path led him to become the assistant to Russell Wilson, the quarterback for the Denver Broncos. Despite the change, Bailey ensured that Colton was left in good hands by introducing him to David Moore as his new QB Coach. David, a former Division 1 Quarterback, also played professional football in the CFL.
​
Colton and David instantly had a great connection allowing Colton to make continued strides as a player and leader. From a parents’ perspective, this stands as a testament to Colton's hard work coupled with David's expertise as a coach.
Through his commitment to training and the guidance of David, Colton has shown incredible growth and improvement as a young football player with an appetite to learn any and everything he can about the game.
