When two people come together with one vision the sky is the limit. In 2003 Michael Waters started working with youth athletes in the Las Vegas Valley with one simple goal. “Help them get to the next level”. Being a running back at UNLV, playing for legendary Coach John Robinson, he took his years of experience and set out to develop complete athletes. As Phase 1 Sports continued to grow and successfully assist hundreds of athletes in getting to the next level, Michael met his match. Paul Alferez is a former Wide Receiver at the University of Hawaii and Professional Arena Football Player. He became a personal trainer in 2002 working out of known fitness gyms. Paul and Michael met at a Super Bowl Party while residing in Las Vegas. In 2014, they finally made the decision to launch Michael's first franchise of Phase 1 Sports out of Las Vegas.

​

Together they are excited for the future of Phase 1 Sports Hawaii. Empowering young athletes to become successful individuals in the community by implementing dedication, hard work, discipline and respect. All the ingredients needed to be a successful athlete and more importantly to be successful in life in all that they do. There is unlimited potential to develop and maximize each athletes full potential. Michael and Paul can't wait to see the many success stories that will be pouring out of Hawaii very soon.
