ABE AL-BABA, B.S., LPSN, EP-C, PN1, NEURO SPORTS PERFORMANCE SPECIALIST
Abe Al-Baba is the CEO and founder of 3 IN 1 Elite, a neuroscience-based performance coaching company, and author of Fuel Your Performance. With over 15 years of experience and over 5,000 clients served—from youth athletes to Olympic competitors—Abe has pioneered a unique “3 Systems | 1 Athlete” approach that integrates applied neuroscience with strength training and nutrition.
Named one of San Diego’s Top Trainers by Discover SD Magazine and recognized by The Marquis Who’s Who in America Publication Board, Abe specializes in solving complex performance and pain challenges that traditional approaches can’t address. His client roster includes USA National Team athletes, Olympians, and professional athletes across the NFL, NBA, international soccer, MLR, UFC, and Glory Kickboxing—alongside individuals recovering from chronic pain, neurological conditions, and seeking optimal health.
Abe’s methodology is rooted in a fundamental principle: better input creates better output. Through comprehensive neurological assessments examining exteroception (sensory systems), proprioception (movement quality), and interoception (internal awareness), he identifies the root causes holding people back and designs targeted interventions that deliver rapid, measurable results.
His athletic background spans football, wrestling, collegiate lacrosse at UNC Charlotte, kickboxing, and boxing—giving him firsthand understanding of what it takes to perform at elite levels. This experience, combined with his Z-Health certification as a Neuro Sports Performance Specialist and credentials as a Licensed Primary Sports Nutritionist through The National Association of Sports Nutrition, allows him to address performance from multiple angles.
Whether working with competitive athletes seeking podium finishes, professionals managing demanding careers, or individuals overcoming chronic pain and weight loss, Abe’s mission remains consistent: help people move better, live better, and perform better—whatever that means to them.
His book, Fuel Your Performance, provides evidence-based nutrition strategies tailored to individual body types and goals, emphasizing that proper fueling isn’t optional for peak performance—it’s essential.
Abe lives in downtown San Diego and continues to expand his impact through in-person training, virtual coaching, his performance app, and speaking engagements focused on making neuroscience accessible and actionable for everyone.
