Pima Community College

"Overall great coach and will get improvement and growth out of an athlete as long as the athlete is willing to commit and give it their all."

"Amazing Coach with a ton of knowledge!!!"

"He will come off extremely intense at first but once you get to know him you will understand he truly wants what is best for his athletes! Being as busy as his is the little things might be overlooked but just have faith in him and you will progress. He is a hard a** so don’t expect it to be easy. He will challenge you and push you to your limits with that being said, it’s important for you as an athlete to pull your weight as well. Make sure you go to the trainer when needed along with taking the time to recover when you body is exhausted(communication is key!). Things in life are not given they are earned through hard work, commitment and full effort! Chad is the same if you want to improve or succeed he is the coach but you need to be as committed to the improvement as he is! He is normally direct so don’t take things to personal. I’m an extremely emotional person and I learned the hard way by overthinking that things were different than they actually were. But once I finally spoke with Chad and straightened it all out and put all the cards in the table, things started to fall into place. I stopped overthinking things and started to improve as well as trust in the process. Although I was naturally talented, I was extremely out of shape and not ready to complete at ALL! Chad got me there in a short time and I ended up winning multiple national championships and getting a full ride to a division one. Commitment, communication and consistency is key. If you are struggling with something, don’t be afraid to go talk to him! He will talk to you straight, and even though he might not have all the answers, he will try to work with you to figure them out if needed. "

"Over the past two years, I had the privilege of being a high jumper under Coach Chad's guidance, and I can genuinely say he is the most exceptional coach I've ever had. Coach Chad's impact on my journey was particularly profound during my time at Pima. When I first arrived at Pima, my GPA stood at a mere 1.9, and my excess weight prevented me from pursuing high jumping. However, through Coach Chad's unwavering support and guidance, I managed to transform my situation. Today, I am leaving Pima as a two-time All American and a regional champion, having achieved a remarkable 3.25 GPA. As I prepare to embark on the next chapter of my academic and athletic journey at the University of Oregon, I owe a significant portion of my success to Coach Chad. His transformative influence has truly altered my life in an overwhelmingly positive way. "

"Best junior college I could’ve went to with a loving and caring coach about athletics and academics. "
