WeCoach Foundation
Since 2005, “Coach” Jorge has been focused on helping families with special needs children. Through different modalities of health, fitness and nutrition, his ultimate goal is to build each and every clients self-worth and self-efficacy. There is so much that can be attained through confidence in ones ability to play and learn. The body is affected in many ways through exercise and lack thereof. As parents are fighting for scholastic milestones and language, the body is often left behind even though it is a massive vehicle for change psychologically and physiologically. That is the message Jorge wants to keep spreading. That is the message that has to be heard. Not just for special needs children, but for all human beings trying to make the most of their time on this planet.

Rosie - Will’s Mom
William has been working with Coach Jorge since he was 7. He used to get very upset when he first started since he has low muscle tone and many behaviors. Jorge has worked through that and he now happily goes to his weekly exercise/training sessions, and his favorite, Stand Up paddle boarding on Saturdays. Jorge has an amazing patience and enthusiasm which really motivates the kids he works with. I would highly recommend Coach Jorge to work with any child, especially one with the most challenging behaviors.
Adriana - Nico’s Mom
Nico wanted to learn to ride his bike, but lacked the skills and the confidence to do so. We tried to teach him, but we were not successful. He was frustrated and his self-esteem was being affected at home and at school. I contacted Coach Jorge to help Nico and it was the best decision I ever made. It took just one class for Nico to feel at ease and excited about learning to ride. Coach Jorge taught him the skills to be successful. In the process, Nico learned how to believe in himself and has since applied those skills in school and playing sports with his peers. Nico no longer just watches his peers play, but now participates! It is amazing what a some new skills and belief can do to a child. Thanks Coach.
Sean - Proud Dad
When our son started working with Jorge, we hoped that one day he would be able to walk independently. Now, our son not only walks independently, but he is able to swim, ride a bike, paddle board and even snow ski. His balance and core strength are greatly increased and this has resulted in great improvements in his motor function and overall development. Undoubtedly, our son’s improvement is due in large part to Jorge’s hard work and dedication. None of these things happened overnight but are instead a result of Jorge’s long-term commitment. In short, Coach Jorge has an amazing ability to motivate children and help them reach their very best. We are thankful to Jorge for all that he has done for our son and our family.
Penelope - Sam’s Mom
We asked Coach Jorge to work with our teenager, Sam, to help improve his overall fitness. Jorge has made working out and exercising fun by including a variety of equipment and by teaching the fundamentals of group sports and participating with Sam in all the drills and activities. He has also incorporated lessons on healthy eating for Sam to understand that this is just as important as exercise in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Highly recommend Coach Jorge's services and we are so grateful to have him work with our Sam!
