Athletic Training. Recruiting. Consulting.
STATUS' mission is to not only develop, train and consult, but more importantly, to give back. The best way I know to do this is through using the wisdom that I have acquired through my involvement with great athletic mentors and the network of coaches I have worked with throughout the last 40 years. Peace of mind priceless, and is the fundamental component for happiness. This peace can be achieved through knowing the help you are receiving is from a respected and qualified mentor. The STATUS team has very diversified background and extensive knowledge that is available for athletes of all ages to take advantage of and utilize. Let us guide you down a pathway that will lead you. We believe the life skills that athletics can instill, are not only valuable, but never ending.
The Original Success Story- My Daughter Kennedy Smith
Kennedy Smith, my youngest daughter, ran the hurdles for Texas A&M University. In her five years at the school, she became captain of the team, and earned All-SEC honors on the track. Along with her athletic success, she made the athletic honor roll ten semester in a row, and earned her Masters degree in Sports Management. If you are an avid track fan, you may recognize her from one of her many viral moments while on the track, or even from her most notable video as she went over her very first hurdle at the age of six, with a younger me guiding her into her love of the sport.
