LEADERSHIP
Shaun Smith
As a long-time educator, high school coach, and FCA leader, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experiences with young athletes. Sports have profoundly impacted my life—I played football in college, and my father was a collegiate coach. Having been immersed in sports my entire life, I understand what it takes to succeed at the next level. I also know how God has positively transformed my life. I am dedicated to helping youth achieve their dreams and discover their purpose. With 12 years of high school coaching experience, a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, and certification as a personal trainer, I believe In-Phase Kids can demonstrate hows sports can be used to transform lives.
Jay Finley
I am proud of my athletic journey and all my accomplishments. I feel truly blessed, knowing that many athletes never reach the heights I have experienced. Now, I am ready to give back and create new success stories. I played running back at Baylor and for the Bengals, and I want to share a glimpse of my experiences with your child. With a Bachelor's degree in Education, a minor in Kinesiology, and certification as a personal trainer, I am as qualified as they come. I am dedicated to helping your child excel both athletically and in life. Let's make it happen.
Darryl Long
When I was young, my parents found a trainer for me, and that experience changed my life. Although I was always talented, the training boosted my confidence and provided the individual attention I never received in school. This experience inspired me to give back to youth and high school athletes and have a similar impact on their lives. I love seeing young athletes progress and conquer challenges they never thought possible. I played football collegiately at Kentucky and Akron, earning a Bachelor's degree in Sports Management and a Master's in Exercise Science. You won't find better coaching or more dedicated trainers in all of DFW. No one is more committed to your child's success than I am.
Our mission is to provide youth athletes with a strong foundation in sports skills and principles, enabling them to excel on the court, on the field, in the classroom, and within their communities.
Your Child Too Can Become A Star !
“Sports possess the transformative ability to nurture the character essential for conquering life's challenges.”
