What we offer
Most athletes work hard. Few work with someone who has actually been there. athlo was built by a player who went from youth baseball in Connecticut to professional baseball — and now exists to make sure your journey doesn't get left to chance.
A full breakdown of mechanics, athleticism, and skill — with a clear development plan, not just feedback. Know exactly where you are and what comes next.
All agesPersonalized sessions focused on mechanics, strength, confidence, and the sport-specific habits that separate good players from great ones.
PrivateCompetitive, high-rep environments that push athletes while building the mental toughness the next level demands. The reps that actually stick.
Semi-privateStructured programs for skills development and real exposure — built around development quality, not headcount.
SeasonalCollege fit, coach communication, showcase selection, recruiting timelines — a full roadmap so your family stops guessing and starts executing.
High schoolTravel ball. Showcases. AAU. The recruiting process. The honest answers families need — and rarely get — before they spend another dollar on exposure.
FamiliesAbout the founder
Randy Gress is the founder of athlo — built for athletes and families who are tired of navigating the recruiting process alone.
A two-time Connecticut Male High School Athlete of the Year, Randy earned All-State recognition in baseball, football, and ice hockey before going on to play Division I baseball at Quinnipiac University, where he was named All-Conference. He was selected in the 18th round of the MLB Draft by the Atlanta Braves and earned NECBL All-Star honors playing for the Pittsfield Dukes under baseball executive Dan Duquette.
After years of competing, coaching, and watching families spend thousands of dollars without a real plan, Randy built athlo to fix what the system gets wrong. Too many talented players are overlooked — not because they are not good enough, but because nobody showed them the path.
"Every athlete deserves the opportunity to be seen, supported, and connected — regardless of where they come from or who they know."
Philosophy
Too many athletes and families are lost in a system that prioritizes exposure over development. Too many summers spent chasing showcases instead of getting better. athlo was built to fix that — starting with baseball, and growing from there.
The best recruiting profile is a great baseball player. Everything else follows.
