Today we’d like to introduce you to Paul Arredondo.
Hi Paul, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today.
I realized I wanted to help develop athletes in 2010 when I received my first knee surgery. By the end of my high school football career, I had a total of 3 knee surgeries. I became fascinated with the physical therapy process and how it allowed an athlete to recover from a severe injury. However, instead of pursuing a career in physical therapy, I wanted to help athletes PREVENT these devastating injuries rather than rehabilitate. I pursued my B.S. of Exercise Science and immersed myself in different forms of strength and conditioning. I had various mentors and coaching positions that allowed me to learn to train any athlete. During this time, I also competed nationally as a successful Strongman and gained a foundation in strength development. After assisting coaches and traveling around Houston for a few years, I decided to settle in Katy and begin coaching athletes in the area. I officially began Unbreakable Strength early 2022! I currently provide strength and conditioning for various sports and skill levels. The most popular being baseball, football, and combat sports. I also have the privilege of working with professional athletes from each of these sports and more!
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Operating your own business is never a smooth road. Fortunately, I have been lucky to be very busy this year. However, the biggest struggle I have had is time management. I devote everything to my athletes which in turn takes a toll on myself. Balancing my time between family and my career is tough, but I am blessed to have both supportive clients and family!
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Unbreakable Strength is a strength and conditioning coaching system that creates custom programs for various athletes. These programs focus on three distinct categories: Injury Prevention, Fundamentals, and Sport Specificity. We are mostly known for our work with rotational athletes such as baseball, boxing, tennis and golf. What makes our system different from most is our range of experience in this field. The latest research, years of coaching experience, and personal professional athletic experience have pushed our understanding of athletes to a level above most. We are mostly proud of our range of both sports and age level. We offer a free first 1-hour session, which is not just an assessment session like most programs. We take you through a full session and truly interpret what you may need going forward. So, if you are wanting to go to the next level with your sport or are suffering from sport-related pain, please reach out to us so we can help you become UNBREAKABLE!
Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
The easiest way to find a mentor in this field is social media. Specifically, LinkedIn and Instagram. Make sure who you are learning from is qualified and not just an influencer. Make sure they have a degree along with a CSCS or have developed something unique you want to learn. There are many great coaches that don’t have a degree but it’s the best way to find successful strength and conditioning coaches. Most of us in this field are friendly and are willing to teach the next generation so just ask!
