Jim O'Leary
Founder & Lead Coach
The short version
Jim O'Leary is the founder of Wide Receiver 81. He played football at Northeastern, coached for over a decade at Governors Academy, and now runs this program — six Saturdays in June — for kids ages 7–10 in Woburn and Amesbury, Massachusetts.
Where the “81” comes from
(Pending — Jim will tell this in his own words.)
How he coaches
Fundamentals taught right. Catching, route running, footwork, body control. One hour, repeated six Saturdays. Same kids, same coach, same time of day. The kid leaves the program more capable than they arrived — that's the whole job.
Why this program exists
