I'm Coach Mackey—educator, coach, and founder of Four5 Coaching: Athlete Development. My journey began on the football field, where I developed a passion for discipline, teamwork, and leadership. From standout performances at West High and Bakersfield College to competing at Boise State University, football shaped my identity and taught me the value of resilience, both on and off the field.

After two ACL injuries altered my path, I shifted focus from chasing the NFL to building a life rooted in impact. I earned a bachelor's in Communication from Boise State and a master's in School Counseling from Walden University, combining my love for sports with my purpose in education. Over the years, I’ve served as a behavioral interventionist, counselor, educational advisor, special education teacher, and head coach—roles that allowed me to guide young people through challenges, growth, and transition.

Four5 Coaching was born from that intersection: where sports meets mindset, discipline, and life development. I created this program to fill the gap I wish had existed when I was an athlete. It’s more than training—it’s about shaping mentally strong, focused, and emotionally intelligent young people who can perform under pressure and succeed beyond the game.
Whether you're an athlete, parent, or coach, my goal is to help you build structure, develop habits, and maximize potential. The number 45 was my jersey, but now it stands for something greater—a standard of excellence, self-belief, and consistent growth.

Let’s build something great together.
