Meet Coach Dawson
Discipline is the Foundation
I am a former standout athlete and experienced football coach with a lifelong commitment to performance, discipline, and development both on and off the field.
My journey began at Greer High School, where I was part of a state championship team. I continued my playing career at South Carolina State University as a three-year starter, developing a strong foundation in leadership, accountability, and high-level competition.
After college, I took my game overseas, playing and coaching professionally for 13 years in Italy(IFL) and Brazil. During my time abroad, I expanded my impact beyond playing by stepping into leadership roles as a head coach and offensive coordinator, working with top-level programs in both Italy and Brazil.
In the United States, I have coached the offensive line at Riverside, Eastside, and currently at Chapman High School, continuing my passion for developing athletes and building strong, disciplined units.
Beyond football, I am an entrepreneur and mental health advocate dedicated to helping individuals build stronger minds, healthier habits, and better futures. My work is rooted in mentorship, resilience, and purpose.
Above all, I am a husband and father who believes in leading by example—on the field, in business, and at home.
My Philosophy
"Performance is a byproduct of character. When we align our daily discipline with a greater purpose, resilience becomes second nature. We don't just train for the game; we train for life."
