DONATE TO SHARPE SKILLS TODAY

 I’ve known Shelton Sharpe since I was 12. He started as my teacher and coach, but quickly became a mentor. SharpeSkills radically shifted my view of my own potential, challenging me to surpass my limits and aspire for greatness.

Shelton champions the empowerment of women, helping us build strength, confidence, and self-acceptance. He has played a crucial role in both my physical and mental development, and made fitness something fulfilling, empowering, and sustainable in my life. 

 I met Coach Shelton in sixth grade, and he’s been a pivotal figure in my life for 11 years. SharpeSkills transformed how I viewed exercise. I used to think fitness required a gym and special equipment, but Shelton showed me how powerful body-weight workouts could be.

He taught me resilience, hard work, and how to push past self-doubt. These weren’t just workouts—they were life lessons I use every day. His creativity, authenticity, and mentorship shaped me in ways I’m only beginning to understand. 

 I’ve worked alongside Shelton Sharpe for over a decade, and he stands out as one of the most dedicated and passionate professionals I’ve known. His ability to connect with individuals of all ages and support their growth—physically, emotionally, and mentally—is extraordinary.

Whether leading fitness programs, student initiatives, or healing circles, Shelton shows up fully. I wholeheartedly endorse Shelton and SharpeSkills for anyone looking to improve their well-being or that of their community. 

 I’ve known Shelton as a coach, teacher, and mentor for more than 15 years. He has an incredible ability to inspire young people—not just physically and athletically, but in terms of their character, confidence, and integrity.

One summer that could have been filled with video games turned into a life-changing season for my son. Thanks to Shelton, he and his friends were up early for beach runs, martial arts, and dune climbing in Malibu. They got fit, bonded deeply, and came home with stories and confidence. That summer sparked a new direction—and was the first of many with SharpeSkills. 

 Our first contact with Shelton was at New Roads School in Santa Monica in 2018. From the beginning, we felt his warmth and sincerity—and knew we were dealing with someone of high character. Shelton wore many hats: dean, coach, mentor. He led the boys’ basketball team with heart and commitment and mentored students, particularly young men of color, with a sense of duty.

To have a spiritual being you trust at the school where you send your child every day is priceless. Shelton was that gift. In today’s environment of supposed trusted professionals, finding a God-fearing, grounded, old-school person like Shelton is a blessing. And it’s up to you to recognize that—just as we did.
