    My name is Coach W.T. Walker (William Tyler), and I am from Northport, Alabama. I am a proud graduate of Tuscaloosa County High School where I lettered in both football and track and field where I hold several records and I am also in the Wildcat Wall of Fame. I earned both a football and track and field scholarship where I played Junior College Football at East Central Community College in Decatur, MS and I competed in track and field at Stillman College where I was a hurdler, relay sprints, and high jumper. I have a high jump record at Tuscaloosa County High School jumping 6'8 and at Stillman College jumping 6'4. 

    Throughout my college career, I was also both Active Duty and National Guard in the US Army and Alabama National Guard. I am a combat infantry veteran where I hold one of my proudest awards being Army Combat Infantry Badge. I am former police sergeant. I am currently still APOSTC. I want to help others strive to be better in their lives.  I love helping both athletes and non-athletes learn techniques and proper training to help them elevate in life. 

    I am proud husband to my beautiful wife Alisha and we have 4 daughters (Aleaha, Inspyir, Ava, & Abby) 

    I love to serve and even when I may be all alone, I still let my light shine. I am an author of several books on amazon: We Chose This "The Shift", It's Christmas Time, This is me! This is us! We are Special! & Several more. I appeared on Acting Out Studios in Atlanta for acting, I have a podcast on Spotify, IHeart Radio, and other major platforms (W.T. Walker). I am a proud member of College Hill Missionary Baptist Church.

    I am here to help you!
