AirTex Performance LLC

Founded by owner and operator, Jesse Leos, "Tex" is a professional skydiving and tunnel coach. Based out of Skydive Spaceland in Houston, TX, he spends most of his time at skydiving skills camps around the world and coaching all levels in the wind tunnel. His coaching and consulting work has had an instrumental role in creating a safer environment for dropzones and individual skydivers within the movement flying community at both civilian and military operated dropzones. He holds world records in freeflying and has competed for the US at the Indoor World Championships and other international dynamic flying events. As a skydiving coach, his passion is teaching body flight techniques that safely explore new ways of flying creative lines in the sky.

 

Tex has been coaching and competing for most of his life in a variety of sports prior to a career in bodyflight including soccer, running and personal/group fitness training.  His coaching style has developed from his team sport background to incorporate many of the leadership and teamwork skills necessary for effective group flying. His pedagogy has evolved from an emphasis on technical flying skills to a broader approach of high-performance skills that incorporate mental training, team culture, deep practice and body awareness in order to elevate our flying. He has developed curriculum for helping your specific dropzone become safer for sharing the sky with a variety of movement groups.

 

Tex is proudly an instructor for Modern Skydiving Concepts teaching the Leading Workshop that passes on the knowledge and safety prerequisites for individuals interested in leading movement jumps. Tex has also been a guest speaker at the PIA Symposium and contributed to the USPA’s recommendations for movement jump safety as outlined in the current version of the SIM.

​

Tex continues to pursue his passion for high-performance mindsets in skydiving by developing mentoring programs for up-and-coming athletes and coaches hoping to carve new paths in the sport.
