Empowering Athletes to Excel Beyond Limits

The Follow Through is a dynamic sports consultant, development, and media training mentorship platform dedicated to helping athletes gain clarity, confidence, and control throughout their journeys—both on the court and off.

Founded by a committed former junior college athlete, an enthusiastic educator, an experienced media practictioner, and a father of a Division I commitment, who navigated life's challenges while pursuing dreams in sports and a professional career. The Follow Through was created with deep understanding of the commitment necessary to thrive at every competitive level.

From outstanding middle school talents to ambitious college athletes, we empower sports competitors at every stage of their development—leading them to make informed decisions, recognize their true value, and present themselves intentionally in the ever-evolving world of sports culture.

Mission statement

At The Follow Through, we hold the belief that true greatness is not achieved at the moment of release—it flourishes in what transpires after. In the realm of sports, mastering proper technique and maintaining a disciplined follow-through can distinguish a missed opportunity from a decisive victory. Life mirrors this principle. Our mission is to empower young athletes by cultivating the mindset, skillset, and discipline required to see their commitments through—both on and off the court. We offer resources and insights to guide you in making choices that will nurture and elevate your career.

Purpose Statement

Our purpose is to guide young athletes in navigating today’s competitive and often confusing sports landscape. From building a personal brand to making key decisions about travel teams, schools, and NIL opportunities—we provide the playbook. Through media training, social media strategy, professional video edits, interviews, financial literacy, and mentoring, we help athletes take the right shots—and follow through until they score.
