I built BOSO because I lived it.

Wan (Wanya) Bruce, Founder

I grew up with talent, but no one taught me how to handle the pressure that came with it. I was told to tough it out. So I did, through walking on to a Division I program, through competing at the Division III level, and through years of feeling unseen and mentally overwhelmed.

After seven years coaching (AAU, JV, varsity, private training), I kept seeing the same thing: athletes weren't struggling because of a lack of skill. They were struggling because of pressure, fear, and confusion nobody was addressing.

BOSO exists to give athletes what I never had. A space to be understood, and a plan built around who they actually are.
