Hello! My name is Chris Grier and this website is dedicated to my passion of working with young people as a Physical Educator, Athletic Coach, and Life Coach. Whether it’s in the classroom, on the football field, or one on one, my goal is to help guide today’s youth toward a healthy and successful adult life.
As someone who has battled and overcome childhood obesity, I have a natural ability to relate to overweight children and I truly enjoy using myself as an example to show that this epidemic can be beaten though lifestyle changes. These lifestyle changes include modifications to one’s diet while also incorporating exercise. As someone who has always been involved in sports, I always encourage students to pursue any extracurricular sports they have an interest in. Whether you are a competitor or not, I truly believe that participating in sports, particularly team sports, can teach many more life lessons than just winning and losing. As a football coach of course I want to win games, but the much more important goal is to prepare my players for the game of life. Please feel free to browse the website and read about my battle with obesity, my tips for getting healthy and athletic updates. |

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” -Gandhi
"You can learn more character on the two-yard line than anywhere else in life." -Paul Dietzel “I have always tried to teach my players to be fighters. When I say that, I don’t mean put up your dukes and get in a fistfight over something. I’m talking about facing adversity in your life. There is not a person alive who isn’t going to have some awfully bad days in their lives. I tell my players that what I mean by fighting is when your house burns down, and your wife runs off with the drummer, and you’ve lost your job and all the odds are against you. What are you going to do? Most people just lay down and quit. Well, I want my people to fight back.” -Bear Bryant |
