Why San Diego Girls Need Strength Training
San Diego girls are 4 to 6 times more likely to tear their ACL than boys playing the same sport. Structured strength training prevents it — and almost no one is delivering it.

Bryan Schuler is the Founder and President of Movement Futures Foundation, a nonprofit created to expand access to youth strength development, mentorship, and long-term health opportunities for young people and families. With more than two decades of experience in fitness, strength coaching, and youth development, Bryan has dedicated his career to helping people build confidence, resilience, and physical competence through purposeful training.
His mission is deeply personal. Growing up, Bryan faced a rough childhood and struggled with ADD and a learning disability that was often misunderstood as a behavioral problem. Instead of receiving meaningful support, he was often targeted and disciplined without guidance that helped him grow. That changed when one high school teacher recognized his potential, gave him room to learn from mistakes, and helped him see himself differently. That mentorship helped shape the man he would become. Today, Bryan is committed to being that kind of mentor for the next generation—especially for young people who may feel overlooked, misunderstood, or in need of structure, belief, and opportunity.
