MEET COACH SIMON
Michael Simon is the founder and head performance coach of Region Elite Performance, bringing elite-level football experience and proven training leadership to athletes across Northwest Indiana. A 2024 graduate of Central Missouri University, Michael earned his place as a Defensive Lineman, Team Captain, and All-American, known for his discipline, power, and on-field intelligence.
Throughout his collegiate career, Michael built a reputation as a relentless competitor with a deep understanding of technique, body mechanics, and explosive movement—qualities that shaped his evolution from standout athlete to respected leader. His commitment to excellence, both on and off the field, positioned him as a mentor to younger players and a natural instructor dedicated to elevating those around him.
After college, Michael served as a Boom Football Coach, where he gained hands-on experience developing youth and high school athletes through structured training, positional fundamentals, and character-driven coaching. This experience, combined with his own athletic journey, revealed a clear need for high-quality, locally accessible football performance training in Northwest Indiana.
With that vision, Michael founded Region Elite Performance—a training program built on discipline, proper technique, and the belief that every athlete has the potential to compete at the next level with the right coaching and work ethic.
