About Foundry

Mason Caragao

Founder | Coach | Educator

Mason founded Foundry Movement & Performance with a long-term vision: to create a professional environment where coaching is structured, supported, and elevated.

With a background in kinesiology, biomechanics, and applied strength training, Mason bridges academic understanding with real-world performance application. His experience in strength and conditioning, golf performance, and coach education shaped the foundation of Foundry’s systems.

More than building a facility, the goal was to build infrastructure — a place where:

  • Clients receive intentional programming
  • Coaches operate within professional standards
  • Education is embedded into culture
  • Growth is sustainable

Foundry reflects that vision.

Building Something Bigger

Foundry is not designed to be trend-driven or temporary. It is built with a long horizon.

The long-term vision includes:
Expanding professional coaching development and mentorship opportunities
Expanding coach development initiatives
Evidence-based education resources that strengthen coaching knowledge and performance
Deepening applied education resources
Continuing to raise operational standards
Building a respected professional performance training environment through structured coaching
Creating a respected professional environment within the performance industry

When structure and education intersect, performance follows. Foundry exists to demonstrate what coaching can look like when done deliberately.
