I am the Co-Owner of Raw Power Sports (RPS) and Body Activation by TRPT (BAbyTRPT). I am a devoted, educator, talented athlete, phenomenal coach, and remarkable trainer, and is the true embodiment of hard work and perseverance. I am also a loving father to my beautiful daughter.
I was blessed to be born into an athletic family but had to work a little harder to develop my skill-set and perfect my craft. I was a good athlete and possessed three major characteristics that further contributed to my success. I was coachable, desired to be the best, and was willing to outwork everyone to meet his goals. In 2010, after many hours of conditioning, workouts, and practices, the University of Texas at El Paso awarded me a full athletic scholarship.
As a UTEP Miner, I was a contributor on the field and a force in the classroom. For two and a half years, I started at wide receiver and special teams, and advanced to my first bowl game as a true freshman on special teams! However, I did not neglect my academics. In 2013, I was appointed to the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll for maintaining a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA. The following year I earned a BA in Organizational and Corporate Communications with a minor in Business.
Even though I coached and trained athletes while still in college, after graduation, I opted for a career in education. I’ve been an educator for 6+ years. However, I still had a passion for sports. I take pride in encouraging and pushing individuals to reach their potential. I also find it rewarding to share my knowledge for the improvement of the game and/or daily lives of others.
To date, working alongside my father and brother, I have coached numerous clients/athletes of all ages (5+), and varying skill levels (novice-professional). I’ve also worked with athletic programs at several schools in Mesquite ISD, as well as players from surrounding areas.
I see my training style as effective because I give my clients the tools and motivation they need to succeed. Whether it involves the basics (speed, agility, explosion, etc.), specific position drills and movements, or sport-specific techniques, I push them to work hard. Additionally, I make sure to hold my clients accountable. I often tell them, “You are in control of your life, so you determine the growth, change, and outcome of your future!” They know their choices, actions, and work ethics will determine any growth or change regarding better athletic performances and fitness futures.
I currently hold Level 1 & 2 certifications through RPR (Reflexive Performance Reset). I work closely with my father, Daymond, as an intricate part of Raw Power Sports and Body Activation by TRPT. I’m very active on social media and can be found using the hashtag #TRPT or @YoungDP on IG.
