Joshua Weaver

My name is Josh Weaver and I am a football and track and field coach. I am currently coaching high school football and track at North Springs High School in Atlanta, GA.

I played college football at the University of Memphis from 2006-2009 under coach Tommy West. I was a utility player playing all of the positions on the defensive side of the football. My senior year, I led my team in sacks and won the teams Role Player award. After my playing days, I returned home in Georgia and started to coach football and track.

As I move towards my 8 years of coaching, I continue to be a certified USA Track and Field level 1 coach. I have also acquired my ISSA Specialist in Strength and Conditioning.

I have gain valuable coaching experience coaching football while making a one year stop at the University of West Georgia as a grad assistant. As a graduate assistant, I have learned from some the games best coaches, Jody Allen, former Florida State Special Teams Coordinator, and James Colzie, who is current the Head Football coach at Saint Marys in Canada.

I coach on the defensive side of the ball having experience coaching defensive backs, defensive line and linebackers. At North Springs, I am the Special Teams Coordinator and defensive line coach and it is my goal to one day become a high school Head football coach or to get back into college coaching as an assistant with dreams to be a coordinator or head coach one day.

At North Springs, I am a Special Education teacher assisting with the science department teaching physics. I deal with at-risk students and students with disabilities. I have grown to enjoy being around these students because, for the most part, these students are looked down upon or looked at differently. It is my goal to make these kids feel accepted and wanted where they can work freely without being like an outcast. I also feel that these students can learn and at times, are the smartest students in the school. I seek to provide that respect to them and in my history, I have done such.
