Best Football Memory

"Senior year of high school, 21-20 goal line stand against Canarsie to close the game out in the 4th quarter. They tried to go for two but we weren't having it! Greatest thing about that memory is that I'm still creating more with those same teammates to this day"

Work Ethic

Accountability

Resiliency

   Coach Malcolm Davis' passion for football began at a very early age, playing in the rock & glass- filled lot that is now Brooklyn Tech field. As a freshman at Brooklyn Tech my parents were against me playing football, so I forged my mom's signature on the forms in order to play. The "discipline" received after was well worth it, as I went on to earn a reputation as an intense and physical linebacker. It was also at Tech where my love for training, plyometrics, and athletic performance was born.

This reputation continued through his short collegiate football career. While many claim their careers were cut short due to injury, "I can humbly say mine was derailed due to poor life choices. Incredible lessons were learned from my experiences, that have made me a better person and mentor throughout my coaching career."

Coach Davis career as a coach has had him blowing his whistle at Brooklyn Tech H.S. (1992- 2007, 2015- current), Xaverian H.S. (CHSFL 2007-2012), and as a consultant to the Springfield Rifles Youth Football Organization. During this time he coached numerous athletes with All-City & All-State recognition in football, Track & Field, and girls basketball. Among the more notable players have been Keron Henry, Roger Knight, and Oday Aboushi.

As a Strength Coach, Coach Davis has trained athletes from the amateur to professional levels, ranging from football, basketball, baseball, cheerleading, track & field, ice hockey, and MMA.  This coaching has included Strength & Athletic performance development, injury rehabilitation, and speed development.

Best Football Memory 

"I won a championship at the youthful age of 42 years young with the Kings Bay Knights, and have played with numerous teams and have memories from them all.

If I had to choose my favorite memory, it would be this.. 

The first game my parents attended was in college.  A Tight End ran a drag thru my zone, and as he attempted to catch the ball I launched myself at him like a projectile, knocking him unconscious. After the game dad  tells me that my mom went CRAZY in the stands, singing "Momma said knock you out!"

My parents attended every game that season and many more the next few years"

Best Football Memory
"Down at Shaw a game went to overtime and we had scored on our possession - One stop and we win the game. First play of defense I'm able to shed the tackle and make the tackle on the ball carrier with no problem.  I get my hand on the football and rip it out of the RB's hands like nothing. My best friend on the team at the time (dog corner!) gets the recovery! Best feeling ever sealing the game away for my team like that!"
