Christian Sandoval
Strength & Conditioning Coach | Human Performance Specialist | Life Coach| Executive Coach
Welcome! I’m Christian Sandoval, a dedicated professional based in Utah with a passion for helping individuals unlock their full potential. Originally from San Antonio, TX, I’ve devoted my life to serving others, beginning with my decades-long military career, which I retired from in 2014. During my final year of service, I discovered a profound passion for athletic performance and life coaching while volunteering as a strength and conditioning coach at a local high school.
I hold two master’s degrees: a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership from Columbia Southern University and a Master of Science in Sports and Health Sciences with a focus on Human Performance from American Military University (AMU). My academic journey reflects my deep commitment to personal growth and expertise, with additional graduate certificates in Life Coaching, Neuroleadership, and Executive Coaching from AMU. Currently, I am pursuing a Doctor of Education (EdD) in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Physiology at Concordia University, Saint Paul.
In 2019, after years of hands-on experience and rigorous academic training, I launched Total Athlete Training (TAT), a comprehensive athletic performance business. TAT provides private strength and conditioning services, performance nutrition counseling, and human performance optimization tailored to the unique needs of each client. My methodologies, honed through countless hours of research, coaching, and practical application, are designed to inspire exceptional results.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the honor of coaching a diverse clientele, ranging from K-12 students and collegiate athletes to seasoned professionals and executives. My 14+ years of coaching experience, which began in the military across various leadership roles, have provided me with invaluable insights into human performance, resilience, and organizational excellence.
In addition to my professional endeavors, I am a certified expert kettlebell instructor with credentials from StrongFirst and RKC. I am also a Certified Weight Lifting Performance Coach and Certified Speed and Agility Coach through NSPA, as well as an ISSA Master Trainer. My ISSA certifications include:
– Personal Training
– Nutrition Coaching
– Fitness Therapy
– Youth Fitness
– Strength & Conditioning
Currently, I’m expanding my services to include life coaching, neuroleadership, master resilience coaching, and executive coaching. My goal is to seamlessly integrate the principles of human performance and organizational leadership into my coaching practices, empowering my clients to thrive in all aspects of life.
Outside of my professional life, I find joy in outdoor adventures such as hiking, mountain biking, and kayaking. I also love exploring theme parks with my wife and daughter, along with indulging in avid reading.
