I’m not just a tech builder. I’m a business professional, a coach, a mentor, a father, and a lifelong student of what makes high performers great.
As the founder of SoCal Hoops Academy, assistant coach of Alemany’s 2024 CA State Championship team, founder of the Fight ON! Mentality, and a certified college planner, I’ve worked with hundreds of student athletes. I’ve seen raw talent fade under pressure and I’ve seen ordinary students become extraordinary when they had the right mindset, structure, and systems.
I built AthletIQ Connect with one mission: to give your student-athlete the exact tools, frameworks, and training that helped my own sons — and hundreds of others — achieve real success on the field or court, in the classroom, and in life.
Inside the platform, we don’t just offer guidance — we deliver a proven system built around
three game-changing pillars:

– Forge an unbreakable mindset built for high-pressure moments.
📖 The Playbook
– Master the daily habits and academic strategies that fuel long-term success.
🎓 RecruitED

When these 3-pillars come together, your student-athlete doesn’t just dream about winning — they are equipped to live it.
