FOUNDER
“Playing college tennis was, without a doubt, the most rewarding experience of my life. Competing at an almost professional level while earning a university degree—fully funded through a tennis scholarship—was an incredible opportunity that I knew I had to help others access.
That’s what inspired me to found I-Con Sports in Barcelona, Spain, nearly 20 years ago. Our mission was simple: to help tennis players and athletes worldwide reach their full potential while pursuing higher education in the U.S.
Since then, our recruiting company has supported more than 1,200 tennis players from Spain and around the globe. This journey ultimately led to our acquisition by Keystone Sports, the world’s leading organization in student-athlete recruitment for U.S. universities.”
