Coach Mike Spicer is another exciting addition to the Coach Derek Team. A former college-level defensive lineman at Western Carolina University, Coach Mike was a two-time All-Southern Conference selection, a two-time All-American (as well as an NSCA All-American), and holds six Western Carolina University records.
But it doesn’t stop there. Coach Mike is also a seasoned Arena football player. He played for the New Orleans Voodoo, where he led the team in sacks and was sixth in the entire league in 2004. He then moved on to the Los Angeles Avengers where he played in 2005 and 2006. Coach Mike also achieved the honor of attending the Buffalo Bills training camp in 2004.
In addition to playing football – and basketball – most recently Coach Mike has been the Athletic Director at the Petrolane Boys & Girls Club in Long Beach, California. Coach Mike runs the sports programs at the gym, and manages the athletic interests of a wide range of ages (kids from 6-18). When you meet Coach Mike, you’ll see why he has an instant rapport with the kids he works with; he is looking forward to bringing his skill set and positive style to the Coach Derek Team.
