The Standard Starts Here
AFI Athletics Club isn’t just another training program — it’s a proving ground built by former pros, for the ones serious about becoming the next.
We’ve walked the path — and now we’re building one stronger for the next generation. AFI was created to give athletes what the system won’t: insider-level development, elite coaching, and a complete blueprint for success - on the field, in the locker room, and in life.
We train with a different purpose: to build killers with character - athletes who dominate between whistles and carry themselves like professionals everywhere else. You don’t just learn how to win reps. You learn how to lead, speak, move, recover, and grow like a future pro. Because talent isn’t enough. We build what makes you undeniable.
This isn’t a camp. It’s not a pop-up. It’s a system. A culture. A community.
One flame - One Family,
AFI athletes are known - not just for how they play, but for how they carry themselves when no one’s watching. Coaches want them. Scouts remember them. Families ride with them. Competitors fear them.
We don’t just build athletes.
We build legacy - one rep, one family, one future professional at a time.

THE FOunder
Coach Damien Mama is a rare breed - a former NFL offensive lineman and elite line play technician with deep knowledge of both sides of the trenches. Born and raised in the Inland Empire, Damien made his name at St. John Bosco High School, where he anchored a perfect 16-0 national championship team and was ranked the #1 offensive lineman in California - and the top interior lineman in the nation.
He went on to start as a true freshman at USC on a full-ride scholarship, then leveled up to the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs, New York Giants, and Dallas Cowboys.
After his playing career, Damien transitioned into coaching and mentoring, bringing a rare perspective from both the offensive and defensive line. His training style blends pro-level skill development with mentality work - teaching athletes how to think, move, and dominate like true trench warriors.
At AFI, Coach Mama is the force behind the grind - building legacy through technique, toughness, and that Day 1 work ethic that never lets up.
