Athletic Advantage directly responds to the growing number of

student athletes that are either falling through the cracks at school,

being overlooked or under-trained based on their schools athletic

program or lack of exposure. Of the 330,000 high school seniors

who play football, only 20,000 college freshmen continue to play in

college, and less than 10,000 received any financial assistance.

Generally, only state winners or nationally ranked athletes are

recruited by colleges in Division 1 schools. Because of these

recruitment practices, many student athletes will never get the

chance to pursue their dream of playing college sports.

Our goal is to increase student athlete’s chances of getting into

Division 1 schools by providing exposure and the necessary training

to perfect and showcase their athletic ability

Mission

To provide student athletes with personal development, strength, conditioning and the skills

needed to make it to the next level of collegiate sports and beyond. To provide student athletes

My name is Chris Davis and I have been involved in youth athletics as a coach for over 9 years. In those years, I have had the pleasure of coaching some fine athletes, some that successfully advanced to play at the collegiate level. I am originally from Birmingham, Alabama but lived in Phoenix off and on all of my life, attending and graduating from South Mountain High School in 1995 where I played football, wrestled and played basketball. I am a graduate of Ottawa University with a Bachelor in Education and a Masters in Guidance Counseling. I played collegiate sports at both Phoenix College in Phoenix, Arizona where I started as a Offensive Guard and Defensive Tackle as well as a brief stint on the Bears Basketball Team before landing an opportunity to play professionally in the Arena II Football League as a part of the Duluth/Superior Lumberjacks where I was made offensive lineman of the year twice. After a knee injury ended my season early, I returned to Phoenix where I rehabbed and tried to make a comeback playing several years in the Cooper State Football League before hanging up my cleats in 2003 when I made my transition into coaching. I am engaged and have six children together with my fiancé April.

Although from time to time, we have the pleasure of welcoming current and former professional athletes for special events, Athletic Advantage has a dedicated full -time staff of Coaches, Trainers, and Educators. Our staff is dedicated to our students and clients not just on the field, but off the field.

We are committed to constant growth and improvement of our programs and services. We recognize that sports is our focus, but nurturing a well -rounded athlete is a better representation of what we aim to do. We believe that educational opportunities, as well as character building, all go together to help our students achieve the athletic goals.
