We had the good fortune of connecting with Paul Giannelli and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
North County Sports Academy is a premier Athletic Training Company. We provide modern customized athletic training for athletes ages 5-17 years old from beginner to intermediate skill levels at multiple locations within North County. We specialize in Private Lessons, Semi-Private Lessons, Clinics, & Summer Camps for basketball, soccer, baseball, softball, football, & lacrosse. We are best known for our Skill Development Clinics and Summer Camp. We are most proud of providing high-quality coaching at an affordable price. What sets us apart from others is our ability to create personal connections with each client while maintaining a local small-business feel. I look at each obstacle or challenge as an opportunity to learn something new and grow as a person. Having never started my own business before, I needed to learn how to build it from the ground up. Now that the foundation has been established, there is always room for improvement and growth. This year we partnered with a local school to provide consistent year-round Clinics & we are in the process of becoming a non-profit.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Every time I have friends or family visit, they usually want to do three things. Those three things are visit the San Diego Zoo, see the seals in La Jolla, & catch a Padres game at Petco Park! San Diego is also known for its great Craft Breweries and local beaches. If I’m staying local, it’s tough to beat the Regal Seagull, Fish 101, & a sunset at South Ponto beach.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
This is an easy one for me. My mom has provided unconditional love, support, & guidance throughout my journey. I simply would not be where I am today without her.
