He has also held positions with the Philadelphia Soul (AFL), Saint Joseph’s University, and Cabrini College as an athletic training intern and at the TopSpeed Performance School as a strength coach.

Prior to receiving his Masters of Science degree in Athletic Training at East Stroudsburg University, Tagle originally attended school at UMass-Boston and graduated from Neumann University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Training/Strength and Conditioning in 2015, where he was also a three-year defenseman with Knights lacrosse and a three-time honoree on the Colonial States Athletic Conference All-Academic Team.
