Ackerman Sports Academy

My life passion is sports that lead me into a career of teaching and coaching. I am currently a elementary physical education teacher, Head Varsity Basketball Coach, and Assistant College Football Coach at Erie Community College. Also, I have experienced coaching Varsity Soccer and Lacrosse as well in previous years. I have been coaching for the past 8 years and have been apart of programs and coach student athletes that had tremendous success such as coaching a varsity football team to a state championship, a lacrosse team to the state Final Four, coaching players that have gone to all different levels of College programs from division 1 to Junior College. I am a former college athlete that attained my bachelors and masters degrees from Buffalo State University (Psychology & Youth Counseling) and Canisius College (Physical Education). I received the 2020 West Seneca Bee Coach of the year and in 2019 Teacher of the year runner-up at West Seneca East. My goal is to teach student-athletes by addressing both the mental aspects as well as the physical aspects of being a successful student athlete from youth to high school all the way to college.
