In working as a sports performance coach, Angel has had the opportunity to assist hundreds of athletes in developing their athletic potential.

He takes great pride in continuing his education through reading books, attending seminars, classes, workshops and reviewing cutting edge performance products. Angel’s ability to convey complex information to non-expert audiences is one of his greatest strengths. He thrives off motivating and mentoring individuals to reach their goals. Angel is committed to providing quality service in a safe and effective training environment. Here’s what one proud parent had to say:

“Angel has done an exceptional job…I’m confident that he can make a real difference in the development of athletes at any level”

“My son Frankie has been training with Angel Rivera for the past year with very good results. Frankie plays travel AAA Ice Hockey and has played for a team ranked in the Top 5 in North America and will also play for the Mid Fairfield Blues (Pee Wee Minor AAA) team in the fall.

Angel has done an exceptional job at teaching the fundamental techniques around improving speed, agility, and strength. Due to this training, we have seen Frankie’s skills improve steadily as he uses those skills and techniques in each training session on the ice both in practices and in games. The training sessions are fun and Frankie pushes me to make sure we get with Angel at least twice per week. His confidence has risen because he has faith in what Angel has to say and show. These lessons have paid off as Frankie contributed to a very successful season winning the NYSAHA Tier 1 10U Hockey Championships in a shootout.

Frankie has had the opportunity to attend several top notch training centers and has had instruction from individuals with professional sports league experience – we would both rate Angel’s work as good as “the best”.

I’m particularly impressed with Angel’s ability to develop a young athlete’s confidence and he is able to calm them down when they are being “too hard” on themselves.

Overall, Angel is an intelligent, professional young man and I’m confident that he can make a real difference in the development of athletes at any level”.
