THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND PLAY READY ATHLETE.
PLAY → GROW → PURSUE → PROMOTE
Play Ready Athlete was built from a lifelong understanding of what sports can mean to a young athlete—and the people who support them.
I grew up in Toledo, Ohio, playing both football and baseball. Sports taught me lessons that have stayed with me throughout my life: competition, teamwork, discipline, resilience, confidence and the value of working toward something bigger than yourself.
Those lessons became even more meaningful as a father. All three of my kids played high school sports, including golf, softball and baseball. I experienced firsthand the time, commitment and dedication they put into developing their skills—and watched them grow not only as athletes, but as young people.
At the same time, I spent more than 20 years building brands, creating marketing strategies, designing websites and producing digital media. Over time, I began to see a clear connection between those two worlds.
Athletes spend years developing their game.
