Timothy Felton is passionate about youth and sports, which reflects in his productive career. Timothy has a unique, humorous style of approach that relates to all youth no matter what environment they are from. Timothy provides hands on, down to earth teachings that meet youth on their level.

A former student-athlete, Timothy spent most of his career as a juvenile officer and now spends his time as a GED case manager and high school football and track coach. Timothy provides consultation to parents concerning high school eligibility and gives advice on the recruiting process for student-athletes. His new book The Undrafted is his journey through athletics and life after.
