Tez Avant
Lead Strength & Conditioning Coach
Biography:
How’s it going everyone, I’m Coach Tez, the Head strength and conditioning coach here at Bombersquad. I’m an Ace certified personal trainer, father, grandfather and man of God. I fell in love with the sport of boxing as a kid when I would watch all the big fights on HBO and Tuesday night fights with my mom. Though I never competed as a kid it stuck with me. Years later I would become a gym rat at the El Cajon Undisputed where my cousin Coach Berlin taught the boxing classes. During my training days at the gym I coached basketball, flag football and soccer for 6 years at my previous job at the Sycuan Recreation Center. That is where I got my aim to train our fighters and members like athletes no matter the age, size, or experience. Building athleticism is what I do!
I’ve had the opportunity to train all levels of athletes:
-Amateur National boxing Champions
-Pro boxers
-Muy thai fighters
-MMA fighters
-High School football, wrestling, water polo and basketball players
-College football and basketball players
-Your everyday person trying to stay fit
As a trainer, my goal is to always connect with the people and join them on their path to reaching their goals. As cliche as it may sound, I operate out of Love. It puts me directly in a position to care, motivate and push our members to levels that they’ve never known they could reach. At the same time it helps me guide them through temporary moments of doubt and pain. My motto is “work while you’re tired.” If you can have the mental toughness to endure and be disciplined as we go in deep waters I truly feel you can accomplish anything worth striving for.
