 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rodney Kinlaw has been training my son since the fifth grade, and the progress I’ve seen over the years has been incredible. When my son first started, he really didn’t know how to move athletically and was very uncoordinated. Rodney was patient with him, taught him the fundamentals, and continued pushing him to get better.

Now my son is in the eighth grade and competing at a very high level. Just today, his high school football head coach asked if he could play up on the JV team! Seeing moments like that makes you realize how much all the hard work is paying off.

My son has put in countless hours with Rodney, and Rodney has played a huge part in his development—not only as an athlete, but in his confidence and understanding of how to train and compete.

What I appreciate most about Rodney is that it doesn’t matter where your child is starting from. Whether they’re already a talented athlete or just learning how to move and develop coordination, Rodney is extremely patient, knowledgeable, and a great teacher.

If you have a young athlete and want to see them develop and reach their potential, I highly recommend Kinlaw Academy. The results speak for themselves!

His speed, agility, and football skills have improved tremendously, and he always looks forward to training. Also, Coach Kinlaw uses each opportunity to instill a life lesson at the end of the training sessions. Coach Kinlaw is knowledgeable, encouraging, and great with young athletes.
