Professional Football Coach

My coaching philosophy starts with COMMUNICATION and accentuates PHYSICALITY. Coach to Coach, Coach to Player, and most importantly Player to Player. Communication of the game plan down to the players ability to communicate on field with what they see in the language of our defense is vital. If a player is unsure or misses a call, PHYSICALITY and relentless effort will help correct mental miscues.

"Jamie Sharper is a tireless worker that is very organized with excellent personable skills, that relates to players & coaches. His ability to multi-task allows him to do multiple jobs at for your staff."
Gregg Williams: XFL D.C. Defenders Defensive Coordinator

Coach Sharper is a benefit to the Georgetown Football team and staff with his proven work ethic. The linebacking core with which he is working has shown dramatic improvement over the last two years
Robert Sgarlata: Georgetown Head Coach

Defensive coordinator Kevin Doherty said Sharper’s background gives him instant credibility with the players. “I think they have a very high level of respect for him and what he’s been able to accomplish in his life,” he said. “He probably commands more attention than most of the guys speaking from a coach’s standpoint.”
Kevin Doherty: Defensive Coordinator |

I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity the XFL and the D.C. Defenders gave me. I was able to showcase my skills in a was that I never thought I would.
Daniel Whelan: Green Bay Packers

“He really helps us visualize the knowledge and put it in the room and it’s improved our play tremendously,” Bowers observed. “The young guys just took that knowledge and ran with it and the older guys are really taking to it as well, so having him is a great thing.”
Wes Bowers: 2018 FCS All American 2021 HBCU Legacy Bowl Captain |
