Sam Decker

Assistant Coach

Boys Varsity Football

Athletic Background: 

I was a 4 sport athlete playing Baseball, Football, Wrestling and Track. I was a Jiu-Jitsu world champion for 7 years straight. Muay Thai was another aspect of training I went through and went 5-1 as an amateur fighter. I ended up graduating from GCU with my BA in Sports Management. I also played Semi-Pro football. 

Coaching Style: 

I am a player's coach. I don't like to yell at a player to inspire them, I believe in understanding the player as a person and learning how to truly motivate and help individuals to push themselves. 

CPA History: 

I went to school here from 6th grade through graduation. I was an athlete at CPA and after graduation, I coached Middle School football, wrestling, track, and baseball. After a couple years, I made the move to high school coaching. Since, I have become the Strength & Conditioning Coach for the last 2 years, while still coaching High School sports.

3 Interesting Facts: 

First, I have been in a car chase in high school. Interesting story that goes along with that, feel free to ask me anytime! Second, I compete in amateur golf tournaments. Lastly, I am very "outdoorsy", I love to go fishing and shooting.
