I am Fernando Rivera from Puerto Rico. I played basketball as a shooting guard during high school and competed as cross country and 800m track and field events.

After graduating from Ponce High School, I pursued a career in Exercise Science and Sport Sciences. I initiated my journey in the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico with a Bachelor of Science in Sport Sciences in Physical Conditioning. Then, I bought my own mobile fitness unit in a trailer where I trained female collegiate softball players leading them to restore their functionality and strength in their shoulders after suffering labrum, ankle, and knee injuries. I also worked with male youth soccer teams enhancing their speed, change of direction, and cardiovascular fitness for regional tournaments.

Thereafter, I pursued my Master in Strength and Conditioning in Concordia University Chicago. I successfully pass the NSCA-CPT and CSCS credentials with the focused to work in high performance settings. Finally, I participated and graduated from Athletic Lab Internship in Cary, North Carolina and got certified as a USA Weightlifting Level 1 Coach.
