ABOUT BRIDGE PERFORMANCE

Committed to helping you and your team develop a winning mindset that moves the needle.


While there are general truths that improve performance, we believe in a customized approach built specifically for each individual based on their current needs and environment. 

Elite athletes and business professionals know that actual performance ALWAYS trumps potential.

Frequently, even high performers, know they have more in the tank yet struggle to bridge the gap between ability/potential and results/performance. 

The problem is that many consultants present a cookie cutter approach that neglects the true needs of each individual.


Franco believes in the importance of customizing solutions for businesses and individuals based on their environment, their skill set, their current obstacles, and their desired outcome. 

Some of Franco's Journey So Far...

NCAA Baseball Player

Played 4 years of college baseball at Miami University (Ohio, which is way better than that other school in Florida). The pic is me on the far right after a win at the 2005 Texas NCAA Regional.

2 Year Professional Soccer Journey (Jax, Miami, & Peru)

Spent 2 years pursuing a professional soccer career that didn't pan out but did land me on a semi-pro team in Jacksonville, the practice squad of Miami FC, and a one month tryout for Sport Boys (real name) in Peru. The picture to the left was taken moments before I pooped my shorts (true story, unfortunately).

Multiple Appearances on ESPN radio and other Shows/Podcasts

Over the years, I have been a guest on multiple ESPN radio shows, one of the nations highest rated sports radio shows-104.5 The Zone, the Mind Leads Performance Podcast, and others... Also made an appearance on the Australian Travel TV Show "Getaway" while in Greece with my wife.

Living in Costa Rica & Dominican Republic

After committing to a 6 week Spanish immersion program in Costa Rica, I quickly discovered how amazing the country is and ended up staying for over a year. To pay for my living and travel, I convinced the owner of an upscale boutique hotel to let me run a weekly high stakes poker game...


A few years later, with a wife this time, moved to the Dominican Republic for a year to teach baseball, explore, and help out with a business accelerator called Fourth Water.

Further Education (Spanish, MBA, MS Psych)

I attended the Costa Rican Language Academy where learned Spanish, before heading back to Miami University (OH) to earn my MBA while interning at Draper Triangle Venture Capital. The picture is me and my team after winning ..


Over 10 years later, against all odds, I completed my MS in Psychology.

Building & Selling my Business

In 2010 I created Next Level Ballplayer, a content creation company that specialized in exclusive interviews. After eight years, I was approached by an interested buyer and ended up selling the business. It was hard to let go of something I had poured so much into over the years, but I was ready for a new adventure.
