Raising D1 Athletes: A Fathers Journey

Aitaoto Ace SaluMy name is Ace Salu, founder of PICO Instructional Football Camp and author of Raising D1 Athletes.

I wrote this book because I saw how many fathers struggle with misinformation and the lack of a clear plan when it comes to supporting their children in sports. Through my own journey with my sons, I learned valuable lessons about dedication, discipline, and guidance.

This book serves as a blueprint to help fathers navigate that path. By following these principles, their athlete can have the opportunity to earn a scholarship to play football and other sports — and become more than just athletes, but leaders in life.
