Who Is Jason Diaz Jr.? From Pro Football to Global Athlete Development🌟

Jason Diaz Jr. is a professional football player, global performance coach, and founder of JMDII Elite Performance Academy — a rising force in international athlete mentorship. Born in San Antonio, Texas and raised in California’s Central Valley, Jason’s story bridges grit, elite-level performance, and a mission to empower the next generation of athletes.

📍 From JUCO to D1: A Journey Forged Through Resilience

Jason’s athletic journey began in Fresno, California — a city known for producing talent with something to prove. After high school, he took the JUCO route, competing at San Jose City College before earning a spot at Fresno State University, where he played from 2019 to 2021. There, he sharpened his skills as a defensive back, soaking up wisdom from some of the sport’s most respected minds while overcoming injuries and personal adversity.

In May 2022, Jason graduated from Fresno State with a degree in Communication. The same drive that got him to the Division 1 level now pointed toward the pros — and the world beyond.

🌍 Professional Football Career & International Reach

In 2023, Jason pursued opportunities with the CFL and UFL, ultimately signing his first professional football contract in France for the 2024 season. Competing abroad introduced Jason to new cultures, new performance frameworks, and a deeper understanding of the global athlete experience.

In 2025, he made a bold decision: to temporarily pause his professional sports career declining European offers from ELF, GFL1, and Italian leagues in order to invest in the scientific and structural foundations of what would become — JMDII Elite Performance Academy.

Jason is now signed to play professionally in Italy for the 2026 season, where he will continue both his athletic journey and his work as a lead youth developer for the organization.

⚡ The Birth of JMDII

JMDII was founded during Jason’s first pro season in France — not from theory, but from the compilation of elite-level lived experience.

Before leaving for Europe, young athletes in the Central Valley were already asking Jason for advice: how to train, how to recover, how to stay mentally locked in. He realized he’d accumulated a rare library of knowledge, shaped by elite-level mentors and firsthand obstacles, that wasn’t accessible to most.

“I remembered myself being in those same shoes — hungry for knowledge and guidance. That’s when I knew JMDII had to exist.”

JMDII (short for Jason Michael Diaz II) isn’t just a name — it’s a framework. A way of life. A path toward full-spectrum athletic mastery on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, and alignment with the highest version of yourself.

“One of the most powerful things I’ve learned from the elite-level coaches and mentors in my life — the ones who’ve accomplished the highest things — is this: how you do anything is how you do everything. That mindset became the foundation of JMDII.

Everyone who becomes part of this movement is taught to move elite on all levels — in how they train, how they think, how they recover, and how they live.”

This isn’t just about reps or routines — it’s about raising your personal standard and walking the athlete path in a way of full embodiment or what it means to be elite. That’s what JMDII instills.

🔑 What Makes JMDII Different

Jason created JMDII to bridge the massive gap between raw ambition and elite-level information. In today’s social media era, athletes are bombarded with conflicting advice, incomplete plans, or influencer noise. JMDII cuts through the fog.

It delivers:

  • ✅ Free programs and foundational tools for athletes of all backgrounds

  • ✅ Affordable memberships for guided resources, videos, and templates

  • ✅ High-level 1-on-1 mentorship and fully custom training blueprints

  • ✅ Insights from top-tier coaches and scientific application you won’t find elsewhere

No matter where you are in your athletic journey, JMDII meets you where you are — and helps you rise.

🌐 The Global Mission

Jason has already trained athletes in the United States and France, with plans to extend development efforts across Italy in 2026.

He recently spent over six months living and training in Southern France, partnering with his official performance sponsor Kross Impact — a growing athletic brand aligned with his vision of next-generation athlete tools, gear, equipment , and athletic apparel.

With JMDII as a growing global platform, Jason envisions:

  • Full-body, full-mind transformations for athletes worldwide

  • Strategic partnerships with schools, brands, and organizations across the globe

  • A fully integrated system of performance, recovery, nutrition, and mindset coaching stemmed from the top in performance and sport.

🧠 More Than Athletics: A Philosophy for Life

Jason believes that elite performance is not just physical. True greatness is born from balance across mind, body, and spirit.

JMDII teaches athletes to:

  • Treat the body like a sacred vessel

  • Master emotional control under pressure

  • Build mental frameworks for resilience, focus, and long-term growth

  • Honor the process — not just the prize\

“Sports are just the doorway. JMDII is about how you live. That’s how you rise.”
