Renowned NFL player and coaching veteran Brandon Williams joins GES Team!

We are so very proud of the expansion of the GES program now that we have embarked on year three in which we have expanded to 22 states and are showing no signs of slowing down! It is because of the addition of the very best in the coaching and scouting industry!  Today’s addition is without a doubt no exception!

 

Brandon Williams represents the very best when it comes to taking chances and being resilient enough to make the risk proof to be worth it. When he took the chance to leave his home state of Nebraska to attend The University of Michigan, it would be a decision that would pave the way for a great future in the NFL and then in coaching and player development.

After a long career in the NFL spanning 6 teams as well as one in the CFL, Williams has established himself as one of the top speed and secondary coaches in the state of Texas. This is where he brings his vast coaching experience to develop all levels of football players from youngsters all the way to the high school and college ranks.

Coach Williams is surrounded by a team that is second to none with  his wife Stephanie ad two boys that are built out of blue twisted steel in Jayvont and Brayden!

We welcome this outstanding addition as we continue to develop in the great state of Texas!

A Great GES Signing Day For Two Outstanding Prospects!

Every now and then we are very fortunate to get some outstanding prospects that come into our system that we know have a great chance to make great contributions to their future college programs.  Hilliard Bradley’s (OH) own Kory Taylor and Matt Araiza from Rancho Bernardo HS (CA) are certainly no exceptions.  When it comes to the ability of projecting talent, it is incumbent upon us to find the best fit for each of the young men that we are fortunate enough to work with.  If there is one thing that I can say about each of these fine young men, it is IF they dedicate themselves to their craft and more importantly to their teams, they will afford themselves the opportunity to one day play in the NFL.  Let this message serve as notice that the chance is out there but they must push themselves way beyond what they believe they can, their work ethic must be beyond reproach and they must be willing to demand more from themselves if they are to reach this goal!

Kory signed his Letter of Intent to attend Purdue University where he will play WR where he brings his 6’5 and 210 pound frame with very good speed, athletic ability and intelligence to the Boilermaker program.

He has all the tools necessary to become a premiere player in the Big 10 conference where he will have the ability to provide matchup problems not only to defensive backs in  man to man coverage, but also a very good red zone threat when it comes to production around the goal line.

Off the field, he will be attending one of the very best engineering schools in the nation when by the time he graduates, he will have positioned himself to achieve whatever goals he aspires to once his football career is through. A great amount of credit goes to his parents Kevin and Cyndi as well as his marketing guru and brother Kyle!

 

Matt will be attending San Diego State this coming fall as the very best kicking specialist I have been fortunate to evaluate since the beginning of the GES program.  A multi-sport athlete throughout his career having excelled in soccer, track as well as football, Matt handled all of the kicking duties on the gridiron while starting at Safety as well.

It is his great athleticism and outstanding leg power that allowed him to be a 3-time all CIF kicker that will allow him to see the field in 2018 for the Aztecs.  He also brings an outstanding academic resume with him where he will be pursuing a degree in business.

Plenty of credit goes to his parents Rico and Kerry who have been nothing short of outstanding to work with. He is without a doubt a great example of what a student-athlete is all about.

 

A special thanks go out to Ron Roesink, Mike Loparo and Cree Morris who have fostered these great young men and who are very much responsible for helping them get to this point in their outstanding careers!

 

 

Congratulations To Coach Beathard On His Return to The Redbirds Of Illinois State!

Every now and then there comes a time when one of our great contributors has to move on to follow their passion, and in many ways proves that we identify the very best and brightest in the football industry is on point.

Yesterday, Coach Kurt Beathard is back re-united to the program that is one of the very top programs in D1 FCS football, the Illinois State Redbirds.  We were so very fortunate to have Kurt on our team at GES but are so happy that he once again finds a program that he will bring so much value to.  We know that Head Coach Brock Spack is excited to bring Coach Beathard back into the fold in what promises to be a resurgent ISU Offense!

Wishing Kurt the very best of luck with and his wife, Karen and their three daughters: LaRae, Grace and Eva.

Go Redbirds!

GES joins forces with premiere training powerhouse in Barwis Methods!!

It was Fall 2003 when Shemy Schembechler, who was directing the scouting efforts in the Northeast on behalf of the Washington Redskins, sat down to visit with the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at West Virginia University by the name of Mike Barwis. There were two things that were immediately evident and clear, first and foremost was his clear enthusiasm and passion!  Second was his complete devotion to those under his care.  Mike has brought these rare qualities to the forefront of his quickly expanding organization at Barwis Methods, which was created to be the destination for all things related to human motion and performance. Having followed Mike’s career from West Virginia to Michigan and then to the professional ranks, we are not the least bit surprised as to the heights of his success! GES is proud to partner with Mike and his outstanding team of coaches and trainers as we continue to push the level of excellence that we demand on ourselves.  Take a look at the inspiring video below to understand what we are talking about!

Master Joe Kim, 20+year NFL Coaching Veteran Joins The GES Team!

Our Team continues to attract the very best and brightest in the coaching and teaching industry and Master Joe Kim represents precisely these covenants that we always aspire to be.

Having earned his first black belt at the age of 11, Coach Kim has gone on to develop another 250 Black Belts over his career all while coaching and training many of the premiere pass rushers in the NFL like Tamba Hali, Justin Houston and Ryan Kerrigan.

What separates Master Kim is his absolute devotion to those under his care and his commitment to serving their best interest at all times.  He does this by demanding the most out of himself which in turn leads every student he works with.

Coach Schembechler had an old saying that has been passed down through the ages, “You either get better or you get worse, you never stay the same.”  It is clear that the former is true when it comes to Master Kim!  Thank you Coach, we are very excited to have you on the Team!

A Perfect Partnership for GES with “That’s a D1!”

One of the great aspects of our team at GES is that we know who we are as we operate with the highest levels of honesty and integrity.  It is not often that we find others that have the same faculties that we do on top of the idea that they have similar goals and aspirations.  This is exactly what we have found with our new partners at “That’s a D1.” 

Today we are excited to come together with Kristi and Sam Ferguson, the Founders of “That’s a D1″ which is a parent centered organization that seeks to educate families of all aspiring athletes from their youth all the way through high school.  With their upcoming line of sports apparel as well as educational platforms for parents of all athletes and students, this program will set the standard for excellence and achievement.

Their deep commitment to developing young people through leadership and accountability, the concept of “grinding for your stars” is the basis for anyone interested in becoming a D1 not just in sports, but more importantly in Life!

Stay tuned as we will be launching a short series of free educational webinars that will begin on Tuesday, September 5th for those that choose to be motivated!
