ABOUT US
Preparing Tomorrow's Athletes: Built on Family, Passion, and Purpose
Preparing Tomorrow’s Athletes (PTA) was founded by Cedric Thornton, former NFL defensive lineman, with one vision in mind helping young athletes unlock their full potential both on and off the field. What began as Cedric training his own children in the family’s backyard quickly grew as other kids in the community joined in. The demand for quality coaching, mentorship, and encouragement inspired Cedric to establish PTA as a full training facility in Frisco, Texas.
At PTA, we believe greatness starts with preparation. Every athlete who walks through our doors has the opportunity to work with seasoned professionals who understand what it takes to succeed. With a combination of expert training, mentorship, and encouragement, our mission is to build confident, disciplined athletes who can perform at their very best when it matters most.
