When I first started training for the San Francisco 49ers, Coach Kirby was the difference-maker for me. He helped me get ready for both the 49ers and Denver Broncos camps by sharpening the details that matter most — technique, footwork, leverage, angles, and how to prepare like a pro. What I trust most about Coach Kirby is his knowledge and the way he coaches with purpose. Every rep has a reason, every correction makes sense, and you can feel yourself improving fast. He doesn’t just train your body — he trains your mindset too, building confidence, focus, and the mental edge you need at a high level. He’s continued to support my career beyond those camps, training me through my time with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers — including when I won the Grey Cup — and again last year with the Edmonton Elks. Coach Kirby is the real deal, and I’m grateful to have him in my corner.

If you are looking for D-Line work, there is no one in Canada I’d put above Kirby. Kirby helped take me from a raw community player to a pro. During my time in Junior football, Kirby showed me the appropriate skills and development for where I was in my career. Elevating my game by highlighting and sharpening my strengths, while making my weaknesses apparent and bringing forward solutions to them. When I came back to him before my first pro camp, I needed work. Kirby helped me develop the appropriate skills for a quick transition from college to the pros. He showed me skills that I still look to master to this day. Kirby always shows passion for all of his players and will always look and hope for the best for everyone he works with.

Coach Kirby is personally responsible for my development as not only a football player but more specifically a defensive linemen. Coach Kirby’s knowledge of pass rush and the run game were pivotal in my development. I took what I learned from coach Kirby and played three years in CIS and three years in the CFL. On top of being an excellent coach, Ted Kirby is a really good guy.

Coming from the states, I was aware that Canada didn’t have the same level of football culture, and I was worried I couldn’t find a coach that could challenge me to become better at my position. After being able to get a session in, Coach Kirby is someone I wish I had known a decade ago. He not only possesses the knowledge to propel a defensive lineman to the best version of themselves, but also cares about the person you become off the field. Especially in the lower mainland which is underdeveloped in its football infrastructure, look no further to find the best front four trainer on the west coast. He helped me not only transition to the professional stage to compete with NFL/CFL players, but also was there to talk and support any endeavours that didn’t involve football. He will not only help you find the balance that will make football fun, but also will challenge you to create breakthroughs in performance and character.

My time spent training and being coached by coach Ted Kirby is one that I will never forget. He is a true players' coach and works with athletes in developing their strengths while also spending time on refining and sharpening any weak points. Coach Kirby coached me in 2011 when I played for him with the Langley Rams and continued to be a mentor of mine through college and pro-football. Simply put, the man cares about his athletes and that quality is ever-present when he’s coaching on the field or going over drills in a one on one capacity. In my time playing football, I’ve had the honour of being coached by some of the greatest coaches in Canadian Football and for me personally, Ted Kirby is up there with his knowledge and detail to attention. He set me up for success and I feel like any athlete that trains with the man will be in good hands.

Coach Kirby was my Defensive line coach at the CJFL Langley Rams. As a teen out of high school he helped me set a strong foundation as an edge rusher, from proper stance to technique, and skills that I’ve carried throughout my career. Under his coaching, I was able to lead the CJFL in sacks and was a CJFL All-Canadian. He brings fun, good energy, and great coaching to the game. Coach Kirby is who I link up with to sharpen my skills and get ready for the upcoming season because there isn’t anyone better!

Coach Kirby is a true players' coach. During my time with Coach Kirby, he helped me grow my confidence, be athletic, and have fun. Prior to working with Coach Kirby I found myself thinking too much about moves and ultimately slowing myself down. After four seasons in the NCAA Div 2, and being drafted into the CFL, I found a coach I truly enjoyed working with and saw improvements in myself. Coach encouraged me and taught me how to play explosive, have fun and get in the back field. He helped me elevate my game, be myself and use my athleticism. After one season with Coach Kirby, I wish we had more time together to see where I could take my abilities. Looking at film, it’s obvious my first step improved with Coach Kirby. If anyone is looking for a defensive line coach, Kirby is your guy.

Coach Kirby helped me completely redesign my Defensive line stance and movements which led to the largest improvement I had seen in my 9 years of football. My pass rush ability sky rocketed after training with Coach Kirby and helped me lead the CJFL in sacks. I have not worked with anyone with the level of knowledge and coaching ability for the defensive line position as Coach Kirby. I would have never experienced anywhere near my football successes without him.
