What We Train
Coach
Meet Coach Nick Tarburton
Penn State Football Letterman (2018–2022) · Defensive End · All-Big Ten Honoree
Coach Nick Tarburton brings Division 1 experience and elite trench development to every session. As a Penn State defensive end from 2018–2022, he understands what it takes to compete at the highest level and trains athletes with the same attention to detail, technique, and intensity required to succeed.
As a 2022 Honorable Mention All-Big Ten selection, Lions Pride Outstanding Senior Award winner, and Tim Shaw THRIVE Award recipient, Coach Tarburton built his career on discipline, technique, and relentless effort — the same standards he expects from every athlete he trains.
Before Penn State, Tarburton was one of Pennsylvania's most decorated high school defensive players, earning USA Today All-USA Pennsylvania honors, Pennsylvania Football Writers All-State recognition, PFN Defensive Player of the Year, and finalist honors for Mr. PA Football.
Training focuses on building confident defensive linemen through proper fundamentals, pass rush development, run defense technique, and competitive mindset development that translates directly to game performance.
"My goal is not just to mold and develop front 7 talent. I am also here to support and grow character in these young athletes. I have many life experiences and have been through these challenging yet important years your children face. I will do everything in my power to help them grow and gain the necessary tools to succeed not just on the football field but in life."
