Who Is Coach Russ?

BUILDING COMPLETE ATHLETES

"Train the body. Fuel the engine. Strengthen the mind."

Pinnacle Protocols was founded by Coach Russ — a certified performance coach with over 9 years of experience working with athletes at every level. This work started from a simple belief: most athletes are losing performance not because they lack talent or effort — but because no one has given them a real system.

We work with middle school athletes, high school athletes, college athletes, and their parents to build complete wellness habits — because all four pillars must work together to reach peak performance.

This isn't a supplement program. It's not a diet. It's an education that is practical and stays with your athlete for life.

Certified Exercise Recovery Coach
Strategic Nutrition

Macros, micros, hydration, and meal timing built around how a growing athlete's body actually works — not generic advice.

Recovery Science

Sleep, mobility, and stress management to prevent injury — because muscle is built in recovery, not just training.

Mental Performance

Pre-game focus routines, reset strategies after mistakes, and breathing techniques for composure under pressure.

Spiritual Foundation

Purpose-driven identity and character development — so athletes know who they are beyond wins, losses, and playing time.

What I Offer

PINNACLE NUTRITION
FOR ATHLETES

Designed for student-athletes and college athletes who are putting in the work — and want their nutrition, recovery, and mindset to finally match their effort.

Pinnacle Protocols Signature Program

Pinnacle Nutrition
for Athletes

A complete performance system covering the four areas that determine whether training actually shows up on game day. We give athletes and parents a clear, practical framework — built for real life, not ideal conditions.

Whether your athlete is a student-athlete juggling school and sport, or a college athlete competing at the next level, this program meets them where they are and builds habits that last.

"Eating one good meal doesn't make you bigger — just like doing one leg exercise doesn't make you jump higher. Real results come from repeated meals, balanced fuel, and eating even when you're tired or busy."

What People Are Saying

REAL RESULTS.
REAL FAMILIES.

★★★★★
"

My son was working out every day but couldn't gain weight no matter what he did. After Coach Russ watched his eating habits and educated us and our son, he's up 12 pounds, his energy is through the roof, and he's playing some of the best ball of his life. The system actually works.

Coach Russ provides proper nutrients for energy in games and practice, gives truth about nutrition, and helps with my spiritual journey with God — always responding with scripture. He is one of the most positive people I know.

"

Coach Russ is like a big brother to me. Whenever I have a question — whether it's about God, life, or anything — he always picks up and gives some of the best advice. What stands out most is that he answers every question with scripture, giving you not just his perspective but the truth of what the Word says. He checks on me just to see how I'm doing, and that means everything. We met through nutrition, but what we have is a lifelong relationship. I don't think it was a mistake that he was put in my life.
