Coach Brandon
With countless experience on the sidelines, Brandon is an expert in football, strength & speed training, and athletic conditioning. A former four-year starting running back at San Diego State University, Brandon played a key role in turning the Aztecs into a winning program. He was a key member of the team that recorded a 9–4 season and the school’s first bowl appearance in 13 years, creating a legacy that has lived on for years. His college career was so successful that Brandon was signed by the San Diego Chargers as a free agent in 2011.
After a neck injury ended his NFL dreams, Brandon channeled his passion into coaching. Some of his goals as a coach include teaching athletes proper form to prevent injuries and enhance performance. A CSCS (certified strength & conditioning specialist), he currently leads the sports performance program at Point Loma High School, helping them rise from a 4–6 season to a 10–3 record in just one year!
Brandon’s coaching philosophy is simple yet powerful: if an athlete isn’t progressing, the coach isn’t doing his job. In the first session, he begins with a functional movement screening to assess mechanics and movement limitations, then designs customized training programs built around fundamentals, athleticism, and injury prevention.
Coach Brandon delivers personal training that transforms how athletes move, think, and perform. Oftentimes referring to himself as a “big kid”, he prioritizes equipping his athletes with life and career tools that go beyond football.
