[NATIONWIDE] — [May 12, 2025] – Rodrigo Gomes, through his innovative STRIDE Program, has officially partnered with Focus on the Field to offer a co-branded, end-to-end consulting and operational support solution for youth sports organizations looking to scale, optimize, and lead.

This collaboration brings together Gomes’ high-level strategic expertise with Focus on the Field’s hands-on operational execution, forming a complete ecosystem that guides clubs from audit to action.

STRIDE Program Overview: A Three-Phase Approach

Phase 1: Assess + Strategize
Tailored for stable organizations with growth potential, this phase delivers a comprehensive strategic framework. Through a series of consulting calls—focusing on finances, marketing, HR, and operations—Rodrigo Gomes crafts a clear, actionable roadmap.

Phase 2: Implementation Support
Focus on the Field leads the execution, while Rodrigo provides ongoing guidance and strategic input to ensure goals are met efficiently.

Phase 3: Maintenance & Community
For ongoing success, clients can opt into a monthly advisory plan, including check-ins, priority access, and long-term support.

Looking Ahead: Building a STRIDE Community
The partnership plans to expand by launching a STRIDE community membership, offering exclusive access to educational content, expert Q&A sessions, and peer collaboration opportunities across clubs.

"This partnership is designed to eliminate the gap between strategy and execution," says Rodrigo Gomes. "By aligning high-level planning with operational excellence, we’re helping organizations not just grow—but thrive."

“Youth sports is a niche and unique landscape, and having pros like Gomes come in to offer that high level strategy while marrying it with our operational expertise made this the obvious solution,” said CEO and Founder of Focus on the Field, Tyler Kreitz.
