About Motiv8 Performance Training

---

Chuck is a lifelong athlete, dedicated coach, and the driving force behind Motiv8 Performance Training. With a deep-rooted passion for sports and fitness, Chuck has spent decades honing his expertise across multiple disciplines, from boxing and Muay Thai to football, baseball, skateboarding, and snowboarding. He works with both youth and adults, offering personal training and group sessions that focus on general fitness, strength and conditioning, and sport-specific training.

Chuck's journey in sports began in his childhood, where he excelled in All-Star baseball and played varsity high school football. In the 1980s, he embraced the world of vert skateboarding during its early rise, pushing boundaries on ramps and halfpipes. His passion for athletic performance led him to San Diego State University (SDSU), where he studied kinesiology and worked as an athletic trainer for the SDSU football team, gaining firsthand experience in injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance enhancement.

After college, Chuck found a new challenge in competitive snowboarding, specializing in Superpipe competitions across California and Nevada. Later, his love for combat sports took over, leading him to train extensively in Muay Thai and boxing. His dedication to the craft quickly transitioned into coaching, first at Higley Fit Martial Arts and now at Carlsbad Kickboxing Club, where he helps fighters develop their skills and overall athleticism.

As his son’s interest in football grew, Chuck expanded his coaching expertise, leading both flag football and tackle football teams. Through this experience, he recognized a universal truth—success in any sport starts with a strong foundation in strength and conditioning. He also saw the importance of helping young athletes learn how to communicate effectively with coaches to advocate for themselves and get the opportunities they deserve. This realization led to the creation of Motiv8 Performance Training, where Chuck combines decades of athletic experience, expert coaching, and a passion for helping others unlock their full potential.

Whether you’re training for competition, improving overall fitness, or looking to take your sport to the next level, Chuck is committed to motivating, guiding, and pushing you beyond your limits.
