MEASURABLE RESULTS ARE THE NAME OF THE GAME.
”If you're an athlete driven to enhance your skillset, an athlet focused on elevating your understanding and football IQ, or maybe you seek both, Coach Carl Franke will definitely get you right.
A life-long educator who communicates effectively with student athletes with the sole purpose of assisting athletes reach their full potential. On the field, in the film room, and on the board, he will focus on fundamentals and the fine details that determine the difference between average and good, and good and great.I've witnessed it all first hand while an assistant coach under his staff, and as all four of my sons have played for him. All four sons have played Div 1 College football and this upcoming season will be playing professional football. Coach Franke played a great role in their development and where they're at in their careers.
