Performance Coach

Connor Green

Connor Green, born and raised in Austin, played sports from an early age. At Hyde Park Baptist High school in Texas’ capital city, Connor, a multi-sport athlete, excelled in baseball and football. Connor continued his baseball career, by playing collegiately at the University of Texas at Tyler, and played key roles in the Patriots postseason successes. Connor graduated with a BS in Kinesiology, and made his mark off the field as well, earning academic all-conference honors. 

 

After graduation, Connor’s passion became solidified in unlocking the athletic potential of any athlete, at any level. This was fueled by two stints as an APEC intern, as well as his work as an assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach at his Alma Mater, UT Tyler. Since his hiring, Coach Green has worked on a daily basis with athletes at the youth level to the professional level. He has developed strong credentials with APEC’s MiLB and MLB clientele, coaching MiLB All-Stars, World Series champions, as well as top athletes in their respective sport.
