Bio:

Coach Stephen Shackelford | Founder & Performance Coach | Architect of Growth

Bio
Coach Stephen doesn’t just develop athletes—he builds people. A former pro with international experience, his vision now goes deeper than trophies or highlight reels. He’s on a mission to help players think differently, train intentionally, and live purposefully. His sessions stretch the body, sharpen the mind, and reset the soul.

Every detail in the gym matters to Stephen—from footwork angles to attitude. He sees the game through a psychological lens, using movement, repetition, and mindset to unlock players at every level. And when others settle, he pushes for more—not out of pressure, but out of belief.

Coach Stephen doesn’t just want you to improve. He wants you to rise—and stay there.
