Former UA star wants Blake Sims to “slim down” in new football endeavor

Mike McCoy enjoyed success at the University of Alabama under Mike Shula and Nick Saban; however, the former wide receiver turn business owner and athletic trainer understands that life is bigger than football.

For McCoy, it is about taking all that he has learned (both good and bad) and passing down life lessons to the next generation of athletes that want to become great.

One of the closets bonds he has formed is with ex-Tide quarterback, Blake Sims.

Sims, the ultimate team player at Alabama, secured one season as the starting quarterback and turned in masterful numbers in 2014.
