About the Founder: Jose A. Rodriguez
I didn’t grow up in a sports family. My parents were hard-working and focused on raising me and my sisters— youth baseball was not an option for us. I found the game late, as a high school freshman. But that late start gave me a unique perspective—and a burning drive and conviction to learn, coach, and eventually, create something better for the next generation.
For the past 15+ years, I’ve coached hundreds of young athletes—kids who remind me of where I started. One thing I kept seeing? Poor footwork. Most young athletes don’t naturally stay on the balls of their feet, and it holds them back in every sport.
That’s why I created the Prep Stepper.
It’s more than a tool—it’s a training shortcut that helps kids instantly feel what proper footwork should be. It builds muscle memory, improves posture, and boosts confidence—all in just 15 minutes a few times a week.
It’s simple. It’s affordable. And it works.
If you’re a parent or coach who wants to give your athlete a better foundation—without paying thousands for private speed & agility training—then this was made for you.
I believe in what I’ve built. I see it work every day. Try it and see the difference for yourself.
