Our Philosophy
At Prep2PlaySports, we live by Dave Brailsford’s “aggregation of marginal gains.” Just as the once‑struggling British cycling team transformed itself by improving hundreds of tiny details by just 1 percent, we help athletes squeeze out those same slivers of progress in the three areas that move the needle most: strength training, nutrition, and film study.
A slightly sharper lift program, a marginally cleaner diet, a few extra minutes dissecting game footage— each tweak may feel small on its own, but together they compound into a gap‑closing surge of performance. Only about 2 percent of high‑school athletes earn Division I roster spots; the next 3 percent are heartbreakingly close. Our philosophy is to make sure our athletes never settle into that almost‑there group.
By stacking dozens of everyday 1 percent wins, we turn potential into predictable progress—so when a college coach is choosing those scarce D1 slots, our athletes stand firmly in the top 2 percent.
Meet The Founder
Hi, I’m Mark — a former Division 1 water polo player and captain of the #1 ranked NCAA team at Fordham University. I wasn’t the tallest, the fastest, or the strongest, but I found a way to stand out. I studied the game, trained with intention, and learned how to get noticed by the right coaches.
That journey taught me that success in college sports doesn’t come from talent alone — it comes from having the right support system. That’s why I started Prep2PlaySports — to give high school athletes access to the same kind of personalized support I wish I had.
Through our platform, we connect young athletes with current Division 1 players who serve as mentors and film study partners, D1 strength and conditioning coaches who build custom training plans, and certified nutritionists who help fuel performance.
