Jose Valdes Sandoval

Sports Performance Coach

A native of Frankfort, Indiana, Coach Jose is committed to developing athletes both on and off the field. A graduate of Frankfort High School, he was a multi-sport athlete playing baseball, basketball, and soccer, giving him a strong foundation in multi-sport athleticism. After high school, he pursued his bachelor's degree in Health and Exercise Science, with a minor in Nutrition, and played baseball for the University of Saint Francis, where he further honed his passion for fitness and sports performance. Coach Jose also earned his Master's in Business Administration from Saint Francis, solidifying the leadership and organizational skills that now play a key role in his coaching philosophy. Having been in the shoes of the athlete, he understands the physical and mental challenges that come with training and competition. "As someone who's been on both sides, as an athlete and now as a sports performance coach, I now know the power of proper training. I've lived the grind, felt the wins, and learned the hard lessons. That's why I'm here today — I am here to help the next generation unlock their full potential. Speed, power, and explosiveness aren't just buzzwords, they're gamechangers! Whether it's on the field, court, or track, those are the qualities that set athletes apart. I'm here to build them up, push them forward, and celebrate every win along the way."
