About:

American Sports Coach

Stefan J Collins is a journalist from Manchester, England who played American football for Buena Vista University between January 2018 and December 2021.
Collins graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sports management and marketing. As a student athlete, he also discovered his passion for writing and journalism through a part-time job working for the University's newspaper where he won numerous awards for his work.
Collins has stated that the experience transformed his world view, afforded him an elite standard of education, introduced him to friends who he will have for the rest of his life and opened doors to countless career opportunities.
His pathway for playing college football in the United States was paved by the British American Football powerhouse, the Filton Pride in Bristol.
Collins stated that during his final year with The Pride he enjoyed playing his sport and he enjoyed his academic classes but it was also one of the most stressful times of his life because he was trying to market himself to NCAA college coaches and find a place to study in America for the next academic year.
He did ultimately succeed in this goal and received numerous scholarship offers, one of which he did sign.
But Collins believes that the process could have been much easier with the proper guidance and knowledge and used this experience as the inspiration for writing Stateside throughout 2024 and 2025.
Collins lives in his hometown in Manchester, England where he works as a personal trainer, helping athletes improve their explosiveness and athletic performance at Puregym in Bury.
He plays golf, baseball and American football recreationally.
