It has been a tremendous pleasure to have Coach Mac train my son. What he has done for my son is hard to quantify. If I could sum up his training in a few words, I would say that Coach Mac is the REAL DEAL! He is a true expert, and his football IQ is off the charts. Coach Mac is a trainer that has walked the walk as a previous D1 college athlete and professional football player, yet extremely humble. Coach Mac is an outstanding trainer, but his best attributes are the level of care and patience he has had for my son. Not only is he my son’s trainer, but he is also a positive role model, mentor, and friend. My son went from an average football player to starting Defensive End and starting Tight End for his high school varsity football team. This is a true testament to Coach Mac and we owe it all to him and his training.   Ramirez Family”

Coach Mac relates very well with the kids which gives him the ability to teach basic to advanced techniques in an easily understandable way so that every kid is growing. Coach Mac teaches not only from a position of knowledge but a position of experience having lead the Pac 10 in receptions and reception yards in 2001. 

 If you want to develop your sons receiver skills I highly recommend coach Mac.

Coach Mac, hands down best trainer we have worked with in San Diego County! He trained my son Zavion since 2016. Those skill sets and mental prep gave my son an edge playing WR and DB and ultimately achieving a full ride scholarship to San Jose State.

I was introduced to Coach Mac through a family friend who had a tremendous experience with him. I've coached youth sports for years as a "Dad" but it was time for a "Professional" to work with my 11 year old son. I've been 100% happy with Coach Mac's knowledge, skills and abilities as it pertains to coaching and positively influencing my son. I look forward to continuing the work with him and seeing the positive results for my son. Thank you Coach!

Coach Mac has been an excellent coach and mentor for my 12 year old son, Cam. After meeting coach Mac and talking to him I felt comfortable enough to begin our training journey. 

His attention to detail, patience and positivity are all vital to our success. Not only does he coach my son in the game of football but he also does a phenomenal job with his mental performance, confidence and mindset. 

We have made tremendous progress and continue to learn and advance with every session. Cam enjoys his time with coach and we appreciate the time he takes to break things down, explain in detail and ensure we have understanding before we move on. He has also made a few appearances at games to see how his training is transferring to the real time games. That is something very few coaches will take the time to do. I believe 100% that coach Mac is committed to our success. In return we are committed to him…

Thanks coach! See you at our next session

I took my son jalen to work with Nakoa “Coach Mac” when he was 14 years old just entering 9th grade. Nakoa worked with for 4 years and helped him develop his skills that got him a D1 Scholarship. Nakoa was instrumental in his confidence, footwork, and is still one of my son’s favorite coaches.

As a youth coach (Dad to my 10yr old Son), we needed some speed and quite honestly, NEXT LEVEL teachings! Coach Mac was recommended to me by a great friend who's Son had a "Tremendous" experience with Coach Mac and ended up with a D1 College Scholarship . I immediately called him, he answered on the first ring and was responsive to meet my Son the next day! After the first training, my Son says "I like him Dad, can we sign up" "Of course Son!" Coach Mac "Leads by Example" and treats my Son like his own when it comes to coaching and life's 101 training! I'm truly excited for the future of "Route 1 Sports and Fitness" and to see Coach Mac's attention to detail with my Son shine on the field and in his attitude! We're committed to the LONG HAUL with "Route 1" and hope to have 8yrs "Running Strong" and another D1 Kid off with a SOLID foundation! Thanks Coach Mac!
