Meet The Coaches
Sherman Coleman
Sherman is a God-fearing father of two amazing boys, from Houston, Texas. His faith, upbringing and experiences have shaped who he is today. His passion for sports run deep, especially basketball and football. Both of which he played since a kid to high school. Those years shaped not only his athletic abilities but also his character, teaching him the value of teamwork, dedication, and perseverance. After high school, he took his love for football to the next level and had the honor of playing as a defensive back at Fresno State University. That experience was transformative, pushing him to refine my skills, embrace discipline, and learn from some of the best athletes and coaches in the game. The challenges and successes he faced during his college career only strengthened his love for sports and his desire to continue excelling in everything he does. Today, he balances his time between being a devoted father, while staying active in sports, staying fit, and nurturing my competitive spirit. "Life’s journey continues to be an exciting adventure, and I’m thankful for each chapter that’s helped shape who I am today."
