Christi Cano is a familiar face in the Alamo City. It\u2019s even safe to say she\u2019s known outside of the United States.<\/p>\n
Cano was born and raised in San Antonio. She attended Edison High School and was a four-year letter on the golf team. She played golf at Oklahoma State University on a scholarship. In golf, she was ranked among the top 20 nationally. At OSU, she won three national championships and has the rings to show for it.<\/p>\n
For years, KSAT Sports has highlighted several coaches and athletes for Hispanic Heritage Month. Cano is who we\u2019re starting our coverage with.<\/p>\n
Cano wears many hats right now. She\u2019s the head men\u2019s golf coach, assistant athletic director and senior woman leader at Texas A&M University-San Antonio. Those three titles alone make her the first to fill those roles in the school\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe community gave me so much and provided so much support,\u201d said Cano.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s been at Texas A&M University-San Antonio for seven years. For her, it was necessary to come back to the city that gave her so much.<\/p>\n
\u201cEspecially the Southside community,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Coach Cano said the managerial positions she fills are especially important to her because of her coaching background. She said she offers a different perspective. As the senior woman leader, she is the highest-ranking female in the athletics department.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was fortunate to kind of begin on the planning and getting to sit in on meetings with building the track and field and upgrading the softball field to be able to be a place for the team to hold games,\u201d said Cano.<\/p>\n
Looking back on her journey, Cano said she wouldn\u2019t change much. But something she learned from when she was a young girl to now is something she\u2019s reminding her team: stay confident.<\/p>\n
\u201cBe confident in yourself,\u201d she added, \u201cyou\u2019re only young once. Put 100% effort into what you\u2019re doing because it\u2019s here and then it\u2019s gone in a matter of time,\u201d said Cano.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s thankful to be a Texas A&M University-San Antonio Jaguar and offer her wealth of knowledge to her student-athletes.<\/p>\n
The men\u2019s golf team opened its 2026-27 season in mid-September at the Texas Intercollegiate.<\/p>\n
