I am the founder of Athlete Strategy Defensive Back, based in Denver, Colorado.  Worked with defensive backs on position-specific training, film study, and athletic development, helping players build the football IQ, technique, and discipline to compete at the next level.

​

I don't just train defensive backs. I teach athletes how to become defensive backs.

I am Roderick Rogers, a former NFL defensive back who has experienced football at the high school, Big Ten, and professional levels.

​

At the University of Wisconsin, I became a two-time Second-Team All-Big Ten defensive back and earned recognition on the Lott Trophy watch list. After college, I signed with the Denver Broncos, earned my way onto the active roster, and made an NFL start. My professional journey also included time with the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots.

​

Now I use those experiences to develop the next generation.

​

My athletes learn more than drills. I teach the details of playing defensive back: footwork, movement, leverage, coverage technique, route recognition, ball skills, football IQ, preparation, discipline, and confidence.

​

I understand what parents want from a trainer. You are investing your money, time, and trust into your child. You deserve a coach who has a plan and cares about the athlete beyond one workout.

​

I also understand what young athletes want. They want to improve. They want confidence. They want opportunities. They want someone who can show them what the next level requires.

​

I've lived that journey. Now I teach it.

​

My goal is to help every athlete become a smarter, more confident, technically sound, and competitive defensive back, while developing habits that can help them beyond football.

Don't just train. Learn the position.
