Our Story

Athlete By Design is the vision of Bryant Burton. As a former high school standout athlete, Bryant is an avid sports enthusiast whose passion is further elevated by his very athletically talented son who also excels in the classroom. While wanting the best for his son, Bryant felt strongly that he could also make a difference to other kids as well. One of the first things he did was to establish a non-profit organization that will cater to young kids interested in sports, including those less fortunate to be able to afford the cost of training camps and leagues. A natural extension of this involvement is the nurturing of these athletes as they progress through their years, providing higher-level training and sponsoring individual competitions (combines). For those athletes exhibiting above-average talent, it made sense to Bryant to further assist them in advancing their skills and navigating the path to a successful athletic, personal and financial station in life.

Growing up in Norristown, PA under a number of challenging conditions, Bryant would turn to sports as a diversion to being in the wrong crowd. After high school, Bryant enlisted and proudly served in the US Marine Corp. After his military service, Bryant joined the workforce during which his entrepreneurial spirit emerged, resulting in his starting up several retail businesses. More recently, with the emergence of his son’s interest and talent in sports, Bryant decided to act upon his vision of opening opportunities to young athletes interested in honing their skills and achieving their longer term goals.
