My name is Bob Barone, also known as "Coach B" to my students. I've coached a variety of sports throughout my career but specialize in basketball, volleyball, football, and track & field. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education and Nutrition from the University of La Verne and continue to take online certification courses so that I'm always up to date on the latest science. I believe that health and fitness are key aspects of our lives which is why it's so critical to educate our young people early-on. Along the way of developing their athletic skills, I hope to also translate the lessons of sports into their daily lives so that they become not just better athletes, but better people. Please reach out to me with any questions about my class offering here on Outschool. I would love to meet you and your child and explore how we can work together to reach their goals. A little bit about me: I've been coaching athletes for over four decades ranging from elementary to high school age groups, and have helped produce over 40 Division-I NCAA athletes, 3 NLF football players, and 2 NBA basketball players. More than any accomplishment in my career, I am most proud of the long-lasting relationships that I've built with my students, now successful adults. I try to always keep things fun and interesting for my students so that they stay engaged––which is even more relevant during this remote learning period.
