What The Players Are Saying:
“I have known Antonio for about 3 years now and have been training with him for over 2 years. As a college athlete I need to have someone that pushes me while also understanding how the body works and improves. I was dealing with knee pain and in just 8 weeks of working with Antonio not only is my knee pain practically non-existent, but my speed and agility have also improved! Whether you are a college athlete or a young adult looking to get better at your sport or even just get into better shape Antonio is your guy.”
-Kyle Harris, Basketball Player at South Dakota Mines Hardrockers
“Being the parents of young athletes, we’ve spent countless hours over 23 years watching our children train with coaches around the valley. Coach Effinger has provided tailored training to improve and maximize our son’s performance on the field, and has sharpened his focus and commitment to hard work- we’ve been asked numerous times, “where does your son train?”
-Parents of Duke M.
“Coach Antonio isn’t someone you pay because you need or want a trainer, he is someone you invest in because he invests in you to change your life, your mindset, your outcome. He coaches for speed and agility, for strength and endurance, but he also teaches responsibility and accountability to these kids. He cares about my son and his success and he will be honest with us about his future and I know he will always show up! Coach Antonio is the only person you should hire to work with you or your children on any health and fitness goals.”
-Parents of Jackson H.

Just like my clients, I was once a student athlete too. I thought I knew it all then, but looking back I can see the blind spots and missed opportunities in my training. The young athletes I work with will never have to worry about missing out or falling short. My training method sharpens both mental and physical performance, so they will be prepared to play their hardest, learn from every win or loss and continue to grow as players and team members.
Coach
Antonio Effinger
My journey into coaching began at Boulder Creek High School, the same place where I once suited up as a player. That experience lit a spark in me—a deep passion for training young athletes and teaching them the foundational principles for athletic success. After completing the season with the team, I started offering free one-on-one training sessions to help players refine their skills. What began as a side hobby quickly grew into something much bigger.
A year later, I transitioned from casual coaching to launching my own professional speed, agility, and wide receiver training program. With every session, my commitment to developing athletes and helping them achieve their goals grew stronger. In January 2021, I took things to the next level by earning my certification as a trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), officially launching AE Sports Performance.
Today, I’m proud to offer expert performance training to youth athletes and adults alike. Whether it’s building speed, agility, or strength, my mission is to help others achieve their athletic potential while reducing the risk of injury and fostering lifelong fitness habits.
I’m 29 years old, originally from Monterey, California, but I’ve called Arizona home for the past 24 years. With six years of experience as a sports trainer, I’m excited to continue empowering athletes to succeed both on and off the field.
