J.C. Munoz is the Founder and Strength and Conditioning Specialist of the Special Operations Candidate Development (SOCDEV) program.

Coach Munoz has an in-depth background in Exercise Physiology and Human Performance and is also a Marine Corps veteran with over 19 years of combined military and coaching experience. Following his last deployment with E Co. 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines (“Warlords” 2/2); Munoz honorably finished his time in service with the Marine Corps as a Combat and Weapons Instructor at School of Infantry – East (SOI).

Following his service in the Marine Corps, J.C. Munoz immediately began his education and enrolled at Florida State University where he earned his Bachelor of Science (BS) Degree in Exercise Science with an Emphasis in Exercise Physiology and Human Nutrition. Munoz began his career while earning his degree at Florida State University, where he was blessed with the opportunity to work as an undergraduate strength and conditioning assistant. He gained valuable experience in his first two years assisting and training the track and field, cross country, swim, dive, golf, and baseball teams. It was during his junior and senior year of college that coach Munoz was interviewed and invited to work primarily with the Florida State football program alongside Coach Bobby Bowden, Coach Jimbo Fisher, and the strength and conditioning staff.

After his time at Florida State University, Coach Munoz continued his career as a strength and conditioning specialist working with professional, collegiate, and high school athletes.

Wanting to honor the memories of his brothers, Coach Munoz now collaborates and works with the elite military population. His primary focus is maintaining a high level of excellence by physically and mentally preparing the best special operations candidates that our country has to offer. This is a call that he first heard during one of his last college football games, and a decision he solidified in prayer on his way home from paying respects to his Marine brother at Arlington National Cemetery in January of 2020.
