When Anthony Waller co-founded Athlete To Athlete as a 21-year-old UCLA student, he saw a gap in youth athletics that traditional coaching couldn't fill. Parents were giving their children advice, but the kids weren't listening - not because the guidance was wrong, but because it wasn't coming from someone who had walked in their cleats. The founders built this platform to bridge that gap, connecting young athletes with Division 1 college mentors who could offer authentic, peer-to-peer guidance that resonates in ways parent-to-child conversations sometimes cannot.

Today, Athlete To Athlete has grown into the world's largest network of college athlete mentors, with over 20,000 Division 1 athletes across 125+ universities now serving as mentors to youth athletes. The platform leverages recent NCAA rule changes that allow athletes to earn from their name, image, and likeness, creating a sustainable model where mentors get paid while providing invaluable guidance to the next generation. Through weekly one-on-one video calls, mentors help young athletes build confidence, develop sport-specific skills, learn mental resilience strategies, and gain the competitive edge they need to succeed both on and off the field. With over 10,000 families trusting the program, Athlete To Athlete is redefining what it means to support young athletes on their journey.
