The Built Method®: Test, Analyze, Program

The Built Method® is an individualized, evidence-based system built on six essential elements: Focus, Learning, Serving, Training, Fueling, and Recovery. Every athlete gets the same disciplined process, and every plan is shaped by that athlete's own numbers.

  1. 1

    Test

    We run full baselines in speed, power, strength, movement, sleep, and nutrition before anything is programmed.

  2. 2

    Analyze

    The numbers and full intake show exactly what the athlete needs, and where time and strength are being lost.

  3. 3

    Program

    Built from the athlete's numbers and delivered one-on-one, at a frequency that fits school and season. Mental performance and nutrition guidance sit on fixed days around practice.

Every quarter we retest and send a written progress report, so you see exactly what changed. Depth, not width: that is how we keep every athlete's plan specific.

Built for the Southwest, Built for Your Next Level

BUILT Sports Performance Academy was founded in 2021 in Las Cruces. In early 2022, Jacob Banegas developed the Built Method after COVID halted his pro football path. He saw how many talented athletes in our community never got a fair look from college programs, simply because the training and the testing were not there.

Our goal is a level playing field. Every athlete gets a measured baseline, a plan built from their own numbers, and quarterly retesting, so college coaches see verified results instead of guesses. We focus on scholarship and college-pathway development for athletes across Las Cruces and El Paso.

Founded 2021. Built in the Southwest, for Southwest athletes.

Measured commitment. If your athlete does not show measurable improvement on tested KPIs in 90 days, we keep working with them until they do. Their first quarter is risk-free.
