Jarrett Ingram
Strength & Skills Trainer
@assetcreatorjjackson
Jarrett Ingram wears many hats- High School Administrator, Athletic Director, Coach, Skills & Strength Trainer, and Mentor, to name a few. Growing up in Baltimore City, the game of basketball led him to great experiences as a student-athlete at Poly, and then UMBC. After initially coaching girls basketball at the high school level in Howard County, Jarrett rejoined Sam Brand (lifelong friend/teammate) as an assistant coach at Poly in 2011-winning the school’s first ever boys basketball regional championship up to that point. Jarrett was given an opportunity to become Athletic Director at New Era Academy, a school located in one of the roughest areas in Baltimore. Jarrett’s time at New Era led to multiple firsts- the school’s first ever playoff football win (2021), first ever boys basketball JV and Varsity Division Championships (2016 and 2018), and first ever individual city and state regional champion in Track & Field (2022). Coach Ingram was either the Head or Assistant Coach for each of those athletic accomplishments. He is now an Athletics & Activities Manager at Marriotts Ridge High in Howard County, as well as a certified Vertimax trainer, using the Vertimax platform to increase the speed, explosiveness, and power of both student and professional athletes.
CW Hoops Director

I have a rich background in basketball coaching, training, and mentoring spanning nine years. Over this time, I've had the privilege of coaching at Milford Academy High School for six years, where I currently serve as the skill development coach. Additionally, I am the director of skill development at Team Melo, and I take pride in directing the Cam Whitmore Elementary School Program. My passion for nurturing young talent has led me to mentor aspiring athletes for the past seven years, contributing to their growth both on and off the court. I have created multiple scholarship opportunities with the work I do in the community.
