Dr. Derek Price

Coach

Dr. Derek Price is a former American football tight end who played for NFL's Detroit Lions. Due to a severe neck injury which required career ending surgery, Derek wasted no time post NFL departure getting his life on a new track and promptly enrolled into Life University College of Chiropractic. He founded a program called SEALFIT while in conversation with other SEALs.  He enrolled in a Navy SEAL Hell Week administered by current and former SEALS. Selected Honor Man of Class 17, he was awarded an entry intern position with the SEALFIT team. He was one of a very small population of Certified SEALFIT Kokoro Coaches that administers SEALFIT camps around the world.  Some notable SEALFIT coaching pursuits include University of South Alabama, St. John Bosco High School, Nike, and multiple Law enforcement groups. Derek has served as Sr. Cadre for more than 20 HELL WEEK simulations with the SEALFIT group. Derek has built a large CrossFit Competition event production group and has held benefit events throughout the years for numerous causes to include Autism Awareness, Juvenile Diabetes, Women’s Health, Pediatric Cancer and many others.  Currently Dr. Price owns and operates a beautiful Sports Orthopedic Medical Clinic complete with numerous specialties. He still finds time to train daily with his friends and family and to prepare for his personal endurance and functional fitness such as Ironman Triathlons, CrossFit Competitions and Alcatraz Open water swim races. His number one focus is set squarely on his beautiful wife Heather and his three amazing daughters Kylie, Hailey and Sadie. Derek is also the Chief Executive Officer for Desert Hope Treatment Hospital.
