Adrian Rios
Heat Wav Founder
An Arizona native, I founded Heat Wav Football in 2022 to empower youth in the Phoenix area both on and off the field. As a dedicated father, husband, entrepreneur, and skilled photographer, I’ve worked with NFL, NBA, and celebrity clients. My mission is to inspire the next generation through sport, mentorship, and community impact.

I've been coaching for nearly 18 years, starting with my nephew in football, soccer, and basketball. My flag football idols are the young women striving to play in college. My goal is to help them grow as athletes and people.
