🚀 Excited to share my first bilingual children’s book, now live on Kindle!

Coach M. Teaches Animals Gymnastics: Lesson 1 – Stretching Exercises (English/Spanish Edition)

👉 Read on Amazon

This book is the start of a series where animals guide children (and parents) through simple, lifelong movement skills. It was inspired by my years as a gymnastics coach and shaped by experiences across Mexico and the U.S.

💡 Why this book?

Combines fitness + language learning (English/Spanish).

Encourages kids to love movement, stretching, and play.

Designed for families, educators, and anyone who believes sport can transcend borders and build confidence.

Co-authored with Tina McCrory (CCC-SLP), our book blends fun storytelling with professional guidance to create a resource that supports both health and communication skills.

If you have children, teach, or simply love learning through play, I’d be honored if you’d give it a read—or share it with someone who would.

Why Our Most Talented Athletes Are Being Left Behind — and What We’re Doing About It

Two 14-year-olds. Global-level talent. No room in the system. Time to act.

Last week, two of the most promising 2010-born athletes in Mexico, Rafa García and Víctor Ruiz, were rejected from national team consideration — not based on talent, but because they don’t come from the right leagues.

These boys weren’t told they needed to improve. They weren’t told they lacked potential. Instead, they were told the doors are closed to them unless they play in certain high-cost, pay-to-play systems that only serve select youth clubs and elite institutions.

The official reply? "Only finalists from the Liga Nacional Juvenil amateur league are scouted at the national level."

Let’s decode that.

That means if you're not part of a privileged club pipeline — often privately funded or sponsored through expensive academies or elite private schools — you are not eligible for national visibility, no matter how good you are. Period.
That’s not just a broken system. That’s a violation of:

* FIFA RSTP Article 19.1 — "International transfers of players are only permitted if the player is over the age of 18, unless the move ensures access to adequate football education and/or training." This implies equal development opportunities must be provided domestically.

* FIFA Development Programs Policy — "FIFA is committed to ensuring access to football regardless of economic background. Youth players should be identified and developed based on talent and potential, not financial capacity."

* Olympic Charter Rule 4 — "The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind..."

* Olympic Charter Fundamental Principles of Olympism, Paragraph 6 — "Any form of discrimination with regard to a country or a person on grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or otherwise is incompatible with belonging to the Olympic Movement."

* FMF Public Statements — which claim to support "national inclusion and development at all levels."

New youth training model launches in the Americas, challenging outdated systems and redefining the future of sport and opportunity

Mexico City, MX – [Date] — A quiet revolution is underway. As the world’s largest institutions fail to deliver meaningful opportunity for the next generation, a new movement is emerging from the grassroots: one that merges athletic excellence with real-world entrepreneurship and educational reform.

From the same culture that glorifies self-made visionaries like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg—who each dropped out of Harvard in their first two years to pursue innovation—we now ask: Why are we still forcing young people into a system those very icons rejected?

That question is at the core of 3MOF (Three Minds One Force), a new program operating out of Mexico City that aims to flip the script on what it means to prepare youth for the future. The program combines elite-level sports training, creative development, and entrepreneurship education to provide an alternative path for talented youth—particularly those overlooked or boxed in by traditional education and sports systems.

“This isn’t just about building better soccer players. It’s about creating better human beings,” said the founder of 3MOF. “We’re designing a track for youth who are ready to think, create, and lead—not just obey.”

The need for such a model has never been more urgent. The recent LUIGI youth program crisis in New York, followed by UnitedHealthcare’s system-wide failure in its coordination of care, have only deepened public distrust in the institutions meant to serve us. Despite corporate mismanagement, these entities raised millions in reputation-saving campaigns—while the individuals affected remained lost in bureaucratic limbo.

The frustration is growing. So is the demand for something better.

3MOF has already begun proving what’s possible. Young athletes like Victor Hugo de Jesús Ruiz and Mauricio González Campos have not only exceeded expectations in physical performance, but have also demonstrated growth in leadership, academics, and independent thinking. Others like Abraham and Rafael—once stifled by rigid education pipelines—are beginning to find their voice and their value.

But this is only the beginning.

“Our goal isn’t to wait for permission. It’s to build something that doesn’t need it,” says the founder. “Corporations should stop investing in PR damage control and start investing in young minds. Not with charity, but with partnership.”

Through sport, business mindset, and holistic education, 3MOF is building a system that not only prepares athletes to perform, but empowers them to lead. It is not a charity—it’s an investment in tomorrow’s creators, founders, and champions.

To learn more or get involved, visit www.3mof.org and witness the future being built—one athlete, one idea, one breakthrough at a time.

Donlad Trump and the misguided Legislation: Sheinbaum’s Government Prioritizes Globalist Agendas Over Mexican Citizens

The Mexican government has announced that, starting January 1, 2025, consumers will face an additional cost of up to 150 pesos for purchases made through foreign e-commerce platforms. This decision, driven by a decree from the Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público (SHCP), extends the Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IVA) to goods valued below $50 USD, which were previously exempt. While the administration touts this as a revenue-generating move, critics view it as yet another example of misguided legislation favoring globalist policies rather than addressing the needs of ordinary Mexicans.

Senator Waldo Fernández of the Partido Verde Ecologista de México (PVEM) estimates that this measure could bring in approximately 15 billion pesos in additional tax revenue for 2025. However, this fiscal optimism contrasts sharply with the realities faced by low-income consumers, who often depend on affordable online goods. By raising costs on essential products, this policy risks further eroding the purchasing power of Mexico's most vulnerable citizens, intensifying the economic burdens they already bear.

Critics argue that President Claudia Sheinbaum's administration is more aligned with global economic trends than the immediate welfare of the Mexican people. The new e-commerce tax exemplifies this disconnect, as it mirrors similar policies in the U.S., where a larger market and higher purchasing power shield consumers from severe impacts. In Mexico, however, such measures disproportionately burden those already struggling, leading to accusations that the government is prioritizing international appearances over domestic welfare.

Sheinbaum’s recent interactions with U.S. President Donald Trump highlight further concerns about her leadership. Trump’s threats of tariffs on Mexico over issues like child immigration prompted inconsistent responses from Sheinbaum, leaving critics to question her ability to navigate Mexico’s complex economic and diplomatic landscape. Her oscillating stance—initially opposing Trump’s demands but later suggesting vague notio

Why is Mexico Losing to the MLS and Other Leagues Around the World? Will a Coaching Change Help?

The reason for Mexico's struggles in soccer is clear. Quick fixes rarely yield sustainable results in sports. Doping an athlete is no different from undermining a national team by relying on foreign talent. This practice sends a message to local athletes that they need to improve.

Globally, soccer has advanced, surpassing Mexico's status as a dominant football country. Here are my observations on why Mexico has fallen behind:

1. "Misallocation of Resources": Historically, soccer was Mexico's primary sport. As the sport grew, wealthy Mexican families directed resources to make their children the next stars. This is very similar to the Golf and Tennis phenomena in the US. This resulted in a system filled with talented players in Liga MX but not natural stars. Mediocrity sells tickets, as fans hope their team will win and their child will become a professional. However, this system is rigged against those without financial means. Besides baseball, which also requires significant resources to succeed, Mexico needs programs that nurture talent from inner cities or farms.

2. "Lack of Government Support for Grassroots Talent": In the US, stars like Michael Jordan emerged from modest backgrounds. Mexico needs programs that offer similar opportunities. The government invests in untested foreign programs instead of funding local clubs to develop top talent, Neglecting the raw, hungry talent in poorer areas. The focus remains on benefiting the wealthy while ignoring those who could excel with proper support.

3. "Ineffective Pro League and Pay-to-Play System": Mexico's attempt to emulate the MLS by finding global Mexican talent has been unsuccessful. The pay-to-play model highlights those who can afford it but does not build a robust talent pipeline. To attract sponsors, Mexico needs new, young stars from within the country, not those developed elsewhere. For example, Barcelona promotes young, local talent, which drives the future of its soccer base. Mexico must adopt a similar approach, fostering homegrown stars to succeed.

In conclusion, more than a mere coaching change will be needed to solve the underlying issues. Mexico needs systemic changes to support and develop local talent and provide opportunities for all, regardless of their financial background.
