Built by Athletes.Designed for the Next Generation.

Founded at UCLA by former athletes Anthony Waller and Zach Maisus, Athlete To Athlete was born from a simple realization: every young athlete needs a roadmap.

Our Mission

To unlock every athlete's potential by connecting them with those who've lived it.

As athletes, Anthony and Zach experienced the immense pressure, self-doubt, and recruiting noise firsthand. They recognized that while technical coaches drill skills and loving parents provide endless encouragement, athletes need a trusted outside mentor who is currently living the reality of high-stakes sports.

“Athletics has always been about more than scoreboards. It is about character, mental grit, and resilience. We bridge the gap between parental support and team coaching by connecting athletes with college mentors who have walked the path themselves.”

Why we exist

Every athlete deserves someone who's been there.

Too often, young athletes navigate the pressure, the doubt, and the big decisions alone. Parents want to help but can't always be the voice their child hears. Coaches develop the team, not the person.

We built Athlete To Athlete to fill that gap: real mentorship from college athletes who were in your child's shoes just a few years ago.

Athletes need guidance from people living the journey now

Not theory, not nostalgia. Mentors who are competing at the college level today, sharing what actually works.

Elite athletes find purpose by sharing what they've learned

Mentorship gives college athletes a way to turn their experience into impact for the next generation.

Technology facilitates relationships, never replaces them

Our online platform exists to make it easy for the right mentor and the right athlete to find each other. The humans do the rest.

The team behind the movement

United by a shared love for the game.

We are former athletes, team managers, academic advisors, and mentorship believers dedicated to giving every young athlete the support we wished we had. Different sports, different schools, same belief.

Want to help support young athletes? We’re hiring.
