Rugged Athlete’s Founder: Austin Womack

My Story -

My name is Austin Womack and I am a Wildland Firefighter and a professional Strength and Conditioning Coach. I am also currently an Infantry Officer in the US Army National Guard. A former college athlete, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology and later earned my Master's degree in Exercise Science.

I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and a Certified Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator (TSAC-F) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the most respected certification in the industry, and I also hold a CrossFit Level 1 certification.

I previously worked as an Exercise Physiologist with the Austin Fire Department and, before working in tactical strength and conditioning, I spent several years of my coaching career training hundreds of professional athletes in the MLB, NFL, and MLS, including two seasons as a strength and conditioning coach with the MLB franchise Kansas City Royals.
