About

As Ray Lewis once said, "The hardest thing to do is work hard when no one is watching." This is work that separates average from good, good from great, or non-scholarship from scholarship athletes.

My name is Coach Hursch, and I specialize in helping athletes take their performance to the next level by focusing on explosion, power, quickness, speed, strength, coordination, mental health, mindset, mental visualization, and sports functional movement that directly translates to success on the field or court.

With over 20 years of experience in sports, I have had the privilege of working with high school, NCAA Division 1-3 athletes, NFL, and professional athletes, providing them with the tools they need to excel. I’m not a "fancy" trainer — I focus on what works to make the athlete the best they can be. My training is based on proven methods that enhance performance in real-world scenarios.

Currently a Doctoral Candidate in Sport and Clinical Psychology, my studies in Sports Psychology and Applied Sport Science, combined with my experience as a former college football coach and professional athlete throughout Europe, give me a unique understanding of how to develop athletes from any level into elite performers. I can pinpoint the major and minor details in an athlete's movement, helping them master proper form and mechanics that most trainers overlook.

If you're ready to enhance your performance and dominate in your sport, feel free to contact me to set up a training session.

    I love the passion he has to improve athletes and to push them to their limits. He’s helped me improve my strength by not just pushing me to be the strongest but to teach me what it takes to get at a high level. He’s overall an amazing human being and he cares a lot about his athletes.

    I met Derek Hurschman back in 2017 when he was my College Defensive Line coach. Working with Hurschman I always knew he was going to push me to my limits so I could reach my full potential on the field as well as off the field and in my daily life. I 10/10 recommend working with Hurshman

    In my time with Coach Hursch, he helped change the course of my football career not only by improving my physical acumen, but my mental as well. Hursch introduced me to a series of drills and exercises that I was not familiar with at first but I decided to trust the process and I improved so much physically. Hursch will always shoot things straight and his passion for helping his athletes is truly unmatched.

    What I like the most is how he started out in depth he trained me. He broke me all the way down to my lowest. He took that and elevated me to become not only a better man but also a great player as well. It will feel like the worst thing ever but he only does it to make you better so you can believe in yourself more. He most definitely brought out a side of me that I didn’t know I had in me. I highly recommend training with HSP!! That’s only if you want to become a better man, athlete, & scholar!! - Emmanuel Mann

    Derek Hurschman was my college Defensive Line Coach at the College of the Siskiyous. Derek strives for proper technique and 100% effort when coaching. He also emphasizes the importance of being physically tough but also mentally tough. Derek’s knowledge of the mental side of coaching and technical coaching style have left lasting lessons that I have used in all aspects of my life. Derek is an amazing coach and person on and off the field! I couldn’t recommend him enough.

    When I worked with Coach I was shocked by how much of an emphasis he set on the little details. The biggest things Coach helped me improve were my recovery with tips on how to get better sleep, increased mobility, and speed. Without his help I would not have been able to maximize my performance which was a huge part of helping me move on to the next level.
