Joseph Borders
Sports Director
Joseph Borders is a devoted husband of 15 years and proud father to four boys, ages 14, 13, 11, and 7. Family drives everything he does, and his passion for athletics and mentorship has shaped both his personal and professional path.
As an OTA-certified strength and conditioning trainer, Joseph brings a wealth of knowledge and hands‑on experience to every athlete he works with. Over the past seven years, he has coached football at multiple levels and spent a year coaching basketball, expanding his ability to connect with athletes across sports. His coaching philosophy is rooted not in winning at all costs, but in developing athletes holistically—building confidence, resilience, and character alongside physical skills.
Joseph’s athletic journey began in middle school, where he discovered his love for competition and teamwork. He went on to become a multi‑sport athlete in high school, competing in football, basketball, and track. As an adult, he stayed active through flag football and recreational softball, modeling lifelong fitness for his children and the athletes he mentors.
His coaching career began when his oldest son was eight, sparking a mission to make a lasting impact on young athletes. What started as supporting his own children grew into a commitment to developing youth in his community. Joseph has since expanded his expertise in strength training, nutrition, and leadership development, ensuring his athletes receive guidance that extends beyond the field or court.
Today, Joseph is recognized as a mentor who values growth, resilience, and character above all else.
