Impact
Our Mission
Folonko Sports Foundation is dedicated to empowering underrepresented youth athletes through professional training, digital visibility, and global soccer opportunities. By integrating technology, mentorship, and sports training, we help athletes build their personal brands. Our vision is for every aspiring athlete to have the tools and opportunities to succeed and thrive.
Initiatives
Our Approach
We develop programs that blend technology and mentorship with sports training, ensuring that all athletes can market themselves effectively.
Athletic Training
Skill • Strength • Soccer IQ
Athletic Training at Folonko builds complete players — physically, technically, and mentally.
We focus on ball mastery, speed, agility, coordination, and game understanding. Our sessions teach athletes how to train with purpose, develop confidence, and build the habits needed for long-term success on and off the field.
Mentorship
Support • Character • Leadership
Mentorship is the heart of Folonko.
We pair young athletes with positive role models who guide them through personal growth, decision-making, emotional resilience, and leadership development. Our mentorship programs help youth build character, discipline, self-belief, and a strong support system they can rely on.
Visibility
Visibility is the new scouting field.
In today’s competitive environment, talent alone isn’t enough — young athletes must understand how to be safely and professionally visible online.
We teach digital literacy, personal branding, media awareness, highlight-building, and communication skills to help athletes create opportunities, stand out, and responsibly navigate the modern sports landscape.
Our Team.
Behind Folonko Sports Foundation is a collective of coaches, creatives, mentors, and youth development leaders who believe that talent deserves opportunity no matter where it comes from.
Our team brings together experience in sports training, media production, athlete branding, education, and community leadership.
Together, we work to:
-
Develop athletes on and off the field
-
Provide access to technology, exposure, and professional guidance
-
Create systems that prepare young players for real-world scouting and recruitment
-
Champion visibility for underserved youth in sports
We don’t just build players—we build platforms, confidence, and pathways to future success.
