Hello my name is James Chaney, a South Floridian born and raised in the most densely populated athlete meccas in the world! I was educated at the same High School that produced Deion Sanders, Jevon Kearse, Tommy Bohannon, Noel Devine and Trey Boston all former NFL Athletes. I played at the collegiate level at Florida State University with three NFL Hall of Famers Deion Sanders, Derrick Brooks and Leroy Butler. Finally I was coached by one of the greatest college football coaches of all-time Bobby Bowden.
I am currently an ESE Teacher and Head Varsity Football Coach at Lehigh Senior HS in the Fort Myers, FL area. I have 40+ players who currently play for or have graduated from college football programs around the country in the past 8 years. I have been blessed to have interacted and create friendships with several coaches from The Power 5 level to JUCO. The relationships I have built over the years through having conversations with college football coaches has impacted the success we have in helping our players get college football opportunities. We are one of the most successful schools in the state when it comes to producing college football talent. We are proud to have the #1 RB in the country as a part of our family 2023 RB Richard Young who is currently committed to The University of Alabama.
I am blessed to have a beautiful family which includes my wife Tray, my kids Kaylan, Jazz, James & Jake. James is a RB for the Valdosta State University football Team and Jake plays Linebacker for The University of Wisconsin.
Thank You for your interest in my website and I hope that this helps parents and athletes on your football journey!
ALL THE BEST!
Coach James Chaney
