We Built OG1 Coaches for you: A Message to Every Coach

To each and every coach—whether you’re leading a powerhouse program or grinding at the grassroots level—this is for you.

Coaching isn’t just a job. It’s a calling. A relentless pursuit of excellence, growth, and purpose. For over 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside some of the most driven individuals in sports—representing elite athletes in the NFL, top draft picks, Pro Bowlers, Hall of Famers, and coaches at every level of the game. I've sat in war rooms, negotiated nine-figure deals, and stood beside head coaches as they signed transformative contracts that would shape not just their careers, but their legacies, too.

OG1 Coaches is revolutionizing the game, and it matters deeply to both of us. Coaches deserve more support.

My father was a coach for 49 years. I’ve worked in college football, front offices in the NFL, and as an attorney dedicated to guiding careers in sports. I’ve seen it all—the wins, the losses, the uncertainty, the hustle, and the passion that never quits.

That’s why we built OG1 Coaches—a platform created for coaches, by someone who has spent a lifetime fighting for them.

OG1 Coaches are saying…

“Coaches spend so much time pouring into others, but they often don’t have a place that truly pours into them. OG1 Coaches is that place. It’s about community, connection, and having a team behind you no matter what level you coach at.”

— Coach Chuck Pagano, Secondary Coach, Baltimore Ravens & Former NFL Head Coach

“I’ve known Bruce a long time—his dedication to coaches is unmatched. What he’s built with OG1 Coaches is a game-changer. It’s a hub for learning, networking, and growing the right way. Every coach should be a part of this.”

— Coach Kyle Whittingham, Head Coach, University of Utah Football
