Position coach. Technician. Standard-setter for defensive backs.
Coach Lock played defensive back at Santa Rosa JC, where he earned All-Conference honors. Then life changed direction — unforeseen circumstances pulled him home to take care of his family, and he had to step away from playing.
But the game stayed with him. Training and coaching defensive backs was always the next chapter. He founded Elite Secondary Development to give back what he wishes he'd had growing up: a coach who specializes in the position, lives in the details, and treats every athlete's development like it matters — because it does.
Today, Coach Lock trains athletes out of the DMV at every major level — including the NFL, CFL, and Division 1 Power 5. Whether you're chasing your first scholarship offer, fighting for a starting spot, or keeping your job at the pro level, this is where you sharpen the edge.
Train With Coach LockEvery Elite Secondary Development session is built around the six pillars that separate average DBs from elite ones.
Pedal, hip transition, break angles, and ball skills — drilled to the level of muscle memory.
The foundation of every coverage. Clean feet, fast eyes, on-time triggers.
Pre-snap reads, leverage, route concepts — playing fast because you already know.
The mindset to lock down anybody, anywhere on the field. Earned through reps.
Tracking, attacking, and finishing the football — turning coverage reps into takeaways.
Pro-level habits, on every rep — because the details show up under the lights.
