Creating Trust with Drills That Translate to Game Day Success – Juwan Lewis, Running Backs Coach, Alabama State

On today’s podcast, we focus on putting together drills that translate to game day success as well as setting up a room built on trust and accountability to each other. Juwan Lewis begins his first season at Alabama State after serving two seasons as the running backs coach and high school recruiting coordinator at Davenport University. Lewis came to DU after a stint at the University of Findlay. Prior to Findlay, Lewis mentored running backs, H-backs, and tight ends at the Division III level at Hiram College and D3 powerhouse Mount Union. As a high school athlete, Lewis participated in the Army All-American Bowl before a college career at Eastern Michigan University, where he was mentored by Ron English and Chris Creighton, as well as Ferris State University. He earned workouts with NFL and CFL teams before landing a spot in the Arena Football League. His experiences have led him to develop his coaching philosophy of the running back position that creates players who are prepared for the next level, while they serve each other as a group.
