Pro Tips 4U was founded in 2009 by Mark Leonard. Mark, who is a nationally recognized expert in sports and consumer marketing, has more than 20 years of experience working with some of the world's top athletes and sports organizations.

Working with elite athletes, Mark soon realized that everyone wants to know their secrets of success. Pro Tips 4U was developed to bring sports training tips from professional athletes, coaches and trainers directly to both youths and adults who are looking to improve their game.

"I know I would have been thrilled as a young man growing up in Chicago to get tips on how to play baseball better from Ernie Banks, Billy Williams or Ron Santo or how to play football like Dick Butkus or Walter Payton," Mark said. "I wasn't able to do that, but I'm hoping my kids -- and kids around the world -- will now get their chance!"
