Born and raised in Austin, Texas, Hudson has built his career around a passion for athletic development, performance, and student-athlete success.
His journey in strength and conditioning began as a student-athlete himself, playing football at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) from 2011–2014. He earned his degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Science in 2014.
Following graduation, Hudson earned his Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) certification and began his professional career with a sports performance company, where he worked from 2014–2017. In 2017, he founded his own sports performance company and went on to own and operate a private training facility for seven years. Through this experience, he developed a strong foundation in athlete development, program design, leadership, and business management while working with athletes across a variety of sports and competitive levels.
In 2020, Hudson joined the St. Mary’s University Department of Athletics as an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach. In 2023, he was named Director of Sports Performance. In this role, he oversees the development and implementation of strength and conditioning programs designed to enhance the physical preparation, performance, and overall development of St. Mary’s student-athletes.
His approach is rooted in creating an environment that challenges student-athletes to grow both on and off the field while emphasizing discipline, consistency, accountability, and long-term development.
As a former collegiate athlete and business owner, Hudson brings a unique perspective to his role as a coach and mentor. He is passionate about developing well-rounded student-athletes and believes the lessons learned through training, competition, and overcoming challenges extend far beyond athletics.
Outside of athletics, Hudson is a husband and father. He married his wife, Jalen, in October 2022, and they welcomed their daughter, Norah, in August 2024. He and his family enjoy spending time together and remain grounded in the values of family, faith, personal growth, and service to others.
