Why Ascent?

Our Founder

I’m Alex Carradine and I believe in the power of movement to change lives. For over 15 years I’ve coached athletes to chase what once felt out of reach. From the NCAA Division I level to the rugged miles of the Pacific Crest Trail - I live what I coach.As a nationally certified expert in sprints, hurdles, jumps, and combined events, with a master’s in exercise physiology from Texas A&M University, I’ve spent my career helping people uncover their potential through science-backed, purpose-driven training.I’ve led successful collegiate track and field programs, run multiple 100-mile ultramarathons, and now built Ascent Athletics to guide others in rising to their boldest goals - one stride, rep, or leap at a time.
