Coach T-Bone
Fredrick Braziel (Coach T-Bone) has been a member of Mr. Larry’s DB Football Camp since its inception in 2021.
Coach T-Bone’s role as Camp Sergeant is very valuable to the success of the camp as time is of the essence – the camp is run on a tight schedule; athletes are daily transitioning from one drill to another in regimented-time. Water breaks, coaching periods and life-skills sessions are all successfully implemented daily due to Coach T-Bones’ professional approach as Camp Sergeant. Keeping the staff focused and the camp on schedule is a key element to obtaining camp goals. Coach T-Bones’ motivation is his love for young people and a burning passion and desire to make an impact in the lives of the numerous underprivilege athletes throughout the community.
Mr. Larry’s DB Camp affords Coach T-Bone an opportunity to not only impact but also impart a wealth of wisdom and experience as a former athlete as he assists Mr. Larry and the coaching staff throughout the camp.
