Core Development Training is a Houston-based nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering student-athletes by merging elite athletic training with academic preparation, mentorship, and life skills development. Founded by Emmanuel Gatling in 2018, the organization operates on three core principles: Education is Fundamental, Sports Build Opportunity, and Mentorship Matters. Through a combination of sport-specific coaching, tutoring, career exposure, leadership development, and financial literacy, Core Development Training prepares youth not just for success in athletics—but for life beyond the game. The goal is to help young athletes uncover their full potential and develop a mindset for long-term success.
