Nike Football Skills Camp Sports Academy at The Star

In 2012 Dot furthered his career as the Defensive Back Coach & Coordinator for Offense-Defense Training Camp. He worked closely with the 8-18 age group in developing their mental toughness, strength and conditioning, ball skills, tackling, and route recognition. Dot immediately recognized the importance of developing athletes after working with them one on one and in weekend training sessions. While at Offense-Defense Training Camp he worked with Bill Bates (Former All Pro Safety and Special Teams Coach for the Dallas Cowboys) and Larry Kirksey (Former Houston Texans Wide Receiver Coach) to help the participants increase their knowledge of the game. From 2016 to 2017 he was the Passing Coordinator/WR Coach for Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas. Dot also served as the Assistant Strength Coach at Florida Atlantic University during the 2017-2018 academic school year.

His passion for developing athletes was the fuel needed to exit the collegiate arena and return home to Louisiana, where he volunteered to work with local athletes in the community. Engaging in the community and seeing the lasting impact it had on the young athletes became his motivation to start Innovative Sports Performance (ISP), LLC in 2018.

The vision of ISP is to better enhance the athletes’ overall performance. The focus is explosive speed work and recovery. Dot trains athletes ages 6 and up. The sessions are tailored for age appropriate groups. Ages 6 to 12, while still developing physically, focus on mechanics, endurance, and resistance training. In addition high school, collegiate and professional athletes receive toning, explosive speed, form, and recovery training. He received his Personal Trainer Certification through International Alliance for Fitness Professional (IAFP).

I attended Langston University in the fall of 1999, where I was a redshirt on the Langston Lions football team and also a part of the track and field team, where I did shot put and discus. I was part of the Langston Lions football and track and field teams from 1999 to 2004. I was the first All-American shot putter in Langston history and also the first freshman to go to nationals in the shot put. I graduated in the spring of 2004 with a bachelor's in business administration.

I started my own company in 2007 called PpSquared Production, where I do graphics, photography, videography, web design, and brand building for several different companies. In 2011, I started coaching Little League football for the Desoto Falcons Youth Football Team, where I worked with the 7-8U until later, when I started working with the 11-12U. I also volunteer as a shot putter coach at A. Maceo Smith High School in Oak Cliff.

I trained at different football and skill camps around the Dallas-Fort Worth area and also coached and trained at a few other places out of state, such as Oklahoma City and Chicago, Illinois. For the past couple of years, I have been helping coach Dot with ISP training of athletes and being a part of the Dot 7 on 7 football team as a defensive coordinator.
