Meet Your Trainer

I’m T.J. Brower (Coach T.)—athlete, coach, and owner of Ascent Athletics. I believe every person has untapped potential—and it’s my job to help you unlock it.

​

My roots are in athletics. I grew up on the court and the track, competing against some of the best. In high school, I ran at the BYU Invitational three years in a row, pushing myself against elite competition and learning what it meant to grind for a goal. Afterwards, I played and trained alongside college and semi-pro basketball players, sharpening my skills and soaking up everything I could about elite-level performance.

​

I’ve also had the privilege of training Military Service Members to prepare to pass their physical performance exams. I have a great respect and admiration for those who volunteer for service to our great country.  

I have had the fantastic opportunity to have privately coached D1 football at the University of Utah, Weber State, and University of Tennessee. I have also coached multiple top D1 recruits at high schools like Mater Dei High School (Sant Ana, Cali).
These experiences have given me a front-row seat to what it takes to compete at the highest levels—and I will give you the same energy and attention I have given them.

​I’m not just here for the naturally gifted. I’m here for the ones who are hungry for excellence. Those who want to level up their performance and confidence in how they look or feel—whether you’re chasing a scholarship, trying to dunk for the first time, or just getting back into shape, I have helped 75+ Clients reach their everyday performance or sports performance goals.

​

Through Ascent Athletics, I combine smart, science-backed programming with real-world experience to help you train with purpose. My mission is to help you rise—to reach heights you didn’t think possible, physically and mentally.

​

Let’s get to work. Your next level is waiting!
