🔥 YOUTH SPORTS PERFORMANCE🔥

Meet Coach Alejandro “Alex” Andrade — our Lead Youth Coach for Sports Performance & Youth Barbell at CrossFit Merced

🏈Alex competed at the NCAA Division II level and went on to play professional football in Europe (Austria & Germany), earning a Championship Title. Training and competing across different systems and styles shaped his athlete-first, detail-driven coaching approach.

👉🏼As a coach, Alex specializes in speed development, strength training, agility, and movement efficiency. His focus is simple but powerful: teaching athletes how to move correctly, build body awareness, and develop habits that translate to real game speed, confidence, and injury resilience.

⚡️Alex’s coaching philosophy centers on discipline, consistency, and education. Athletes don’t just train - they learn why they’re training, so they can take ownership of their performance. With hundreds of hours coaching on the floor and thousands of hours training, Alex brings intention, structure, and results to every session.

📋Credentials:
• BA in Kinesiology - Concordia University, St. Paul (2022)
• USA Weightlifting Level 1 (2025)
• Nutrition Certified (2025)

🫵🏼Spots are limited for our Youth Sports Performance & Barbell programs. If you want your athlete to get stronger, faster, and more confident - safely and correctly - now is the time.
