If talent is evenly distributed but opportunity isn’t, who actually gets recruited? I sit down with our friend Francis Gonzaga to unpack how youth sports tilted toward pay-to-play—and how Level Play Foundation is working to bend it back toward merit, academics, and real exposure. From cross-country showcases during COVID to the quiet costs stacked on families today, Francis shares the hard math behind recruiting and the practical steps that give overlooked student athletes a legitimate chance.
I talk candidly about the numbers—millions of varsity athletes, but a small fraction moving on to college—and why finances slice those odds even thinner. Francis lays out Level Play’s focus on strong students with coachable habits who may not be blue-chip prospects but can thrive with the right plan. That plan starts with honest player assessment, not hype: identifying realistic fit, prioritizing the right camps, connecting with vetted coaches and strength programs, and shoring up academics with targeted tutoring. When an athlete keeps their grades up and brings real work ethic, access becomes the difference-maker.
What makes this conversation different is the emphasis on community over transactions. Level Play invites nominations from trainers, teachers, and coaches who see promise up close. It welcomes volunteers who can donate time or offer reduced rates. And it’s building a network that helps families navigate a noisy system with clarity and integrity. If you care about fairness in youth sports—or know a student athlete who deserves a wider spotlight—this story will give you hope and a roadmap.

What up, what up, what up, and welcome to another episode of the Candy Broken Podcast. I am your host, Sea Monster, and wow, welcome to 2026 first podcast of the year. Uh took a little hyena, a little break here since last year. I think I ended my last podcast, November, December, sometime. Um and uh what a journey it's been. It's been four years now since I started this, and uh, it's been a blessing in disguise for me. Um just learning from different people, different clients, different guests on this show. And uh some of the knowledge and statistics that I get back um is amazing that uh people in 22 different countries are listening to this podcast. Um some of the feedback I get personally from people saying that they listened to a certain episode and that uh it helped them out or they want more information. And so I'm just very blessed to have started this uh a while ago, four years ago, and um not looking for any uh you know advertisements or partnerships or anything. I'm just doing it out of passion. I love it. Um, but I'm not opposed to it, you know? So um, but today and starting out the year, I really, really, really uh I'm humbled, I'm blessed. Um uh this is a really, really special um episode uh with a good friend of mine that uh I want to highlight um because it's it's it's networking, it's helping out, it's it comes from passion from the heart. Um, and we're gonna learn more about it right now. But I want to introduce my good friend, um Francis Gonzaga.
SPEAKER_00:Thanks, Caesar. Appreciate the the the uh the hype.
SPEAKER_01:The hype. I'm not a the hype man. Let me see if we have a little sound here. Francis Gonzaga. Francis has been on the show before. He's a good friend of mine. You guys have heard of him. If not, you've heard of his kiddos who are amazing athletes. Went to Notre Dame. One's currently going to Notre Dame. We got Lilivine, uh freshman there playing baseball. Uh, we got Brandon Gonzaga, Lewis and Clark playing baseball. Um, and then we got Kai Gonzaga uh playing at Pittsur. Pomona. Pomona. Pomona. And then we got Ashlyn. We can't leave about Ashland, who um also obviously played soccer and athlete and is a workout beast right now. I think her lean body fat percentage is like 13-14%, which is amazing. Crazy. Yeah. Um total athletic family. So he's been on here. Uh, this is who I call um uh my wingman. When and I only say that because this guy assisted me through so many different things and ventures of myself just being unselfish. So, welcome uh to the show again. Um and uh and let's talk a little bit about this year, what you got going on. Uh, you have a nonprofit foundation called Level Play Foundation. Tell us what that foundation is about first, and then we'll go get into how it all started and everything.
SPEAKER_00:Well, the foundation, um the let's call it the idea came to me at or around COVID when the so that's over five years ago, when the uh essentially California shut down, right? I mean we mean most most of your listeners probably remember that.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And my son, my older son now, the one uh that's uh senior at Lewis and Clark was uh in the middle of a very important period of his recruiting um at that time. And prior to entering that year, we had set up all these uh events and um pretty much a plan of action to take to get him you know recruited and exposed, exactly. So when all this shut down, we had to kind of pivot and go, oh my gosh, what are we gonna do? So the more research we did, we realized um that it was uh geographical, that not everyone shut down. There's a lot of states that were still open, a lot of areas, a lot of them didn't follow the the mandate of the the shutdown. So we looked for these places and we realized that the places that uh the camps and and college camps and showcases didn't really shut down, they just moved it. And so we we decided, okay, let's let's figure that out and where it's at and let's follow it. And so we went everywhere. We went uh let's see, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, various other places in in the East Coast, and we and we did it, you know. Um fortunately, I was in a position to provide this for him. You know, my you know, uh by any means, I'm I'm not wealthy, but yeah, we were investing in our in our child. And supporting him and the whole family, yep. And so um who in exchange too, he knew this was a privilege and not a right, and and then you know, he was he he took that very seriously and he didn't take it for granted. And you know, I I love him for that. So um what I did realize when I, you know, you sit a lot in these stands for hours and hours and hours, and you meet a lot of people. And as I spoke to these families and parents and and whoever else, there was a big commonality with the people that were there. And what I realized was most of these people were professionals or business owners, they're all successful and they have the means to actually do this because it's not cheap. Yeah, because every time as I laid in bed in a hotel, going, wow, we're we're spending a lot of money.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, right.
SPEAKER_00:And you know, like you said, I have a lot of kids, so yeah, you know, I can't I gotta divide that the resource. So and there, and three of them are boys, they like it. Yeah, yes, yes. So um anyway, so as we're going through this, I would always tell, I would tell always tell him about, hey, you know, make sure that you you realize how how much we're sacrificing for this. And he and he did. He was so good. Yeah, there would even be nights uh before a showcase, and I go, let's go do this and go see this place. And he goes, No, I want to go back to the room. And I would see him start to focus and do his you know preparation and mentally prepare himself, emotionally prepare himself, and he would do good because he would be ready. So um by all means he wasn't taking it for granted. And then, you know, Brandon, none of my kids are uh blue chip hashes, they're not they're not four or five-star athletes. So um, but we also knew after having discussed this with coaches and kind of being honest with ourselves, he did have what it took to get to that next level in play. Yeah, so we we at least knew that with a little bit of hard work, a little bit of exposure, we can get him there.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:So um, and this is you know, that athlete assessments also that's a whole other topic that we can get into, but yeah, into that later. So um, like I said, so when I met these people, I realized, you know, the the commonalities they didn't have this, uh most most families won't have the discretionary income to provide this. You know, I actually knew families that were they upped and left California temporarily to move somewhere else so their kid wouldn't take a break and lose any developmental downtime.
SPEAKER_01:True that I I do I do strengthen communities, obviously, and I and I know some families that obviously also left for a while uh during that that time of uh that period of uh shutdown.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I mean, and it's their prerogative and they're fortunate enough to do it. And but uh obviously this uh this was not an opportunity that a majority of the people, at least people I knew, kids I knew had. Yeah, you know, at least with their financial burden or their limitations in their in their household income.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:So as I further dove into this uh let's call it discrepancy of of uh opportunities, I realized that all those that were, let's say your personal training, yeah, let's say let's take the baseball. I mean, we're well, we're obviously not exclusive to that sport, but I think you have a lot of baseball people or softball and um hitting coaches, pitching coaches, whatever whatever it may be, all that adds up. Those add add up. And so when when you um when you add that all up, uh you know, not everybody will have this uh um opportunity to to to provide this for their kids. Yeah. So uh I'm not faulting businesses or or these um coaches and um recruiting places uh for charging. I think you know at the end of the day is a service, yeah. But it it's also become exclusive to those who can afford it. Correct. And that and that's kind of created that gap between the haves and have nots and being able to try to reach their next the next level of playing in a college level. Yeah. So that's kind of even tutoring, let's say, let's say grades. There's there's a if you have a student that's let's say a student athlete that's of equal um athletic abilities, one has a 3.5 and the other one has a 3.75, obviously the 3.75 will probably have more opportunities, correct? So if we feel like this athlete, maybe the the the lower athlete or the lower the person with the lower grade can be helped to increase that quarter point because maybe they're maybe um financial needs versus the guy that has a 3.75, you know, we want to help provide and level that playing field. Correct. And that's kind of where the idea came from.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, so right now, obviously, as as most people know, uh and people that follow me throughout the years, we're in a time where uh there's club travel, um, everything's uh as as they people would call it, moneyball almost, you know. You're paying to play in order to get in front of uh either recruits or other teams that have a higher level of of uh performance in every sport from football to whatnot. Uh back in the day when you and I were growing up, you'd you you'd play at Rec Ball. Yep. And you'd pay that one fee of a hundred and something dollars for the you know, three, four, five, six months of playing. Um and the extra services or the additional costs like the hitting coaches, the strength and conditioning coaches, even tutoring weren't as abundant as they are now. Now you have magnesium, you have all these different things to help out your kids. One, extra costs. Uh two, you're not just playing on one field, you're traveling to Huntington Beach locally, right? Camarillo, North Valley, Woodland Hills, West Hills, but then there's out of state tournaments, Vegas, Phoenix, San Diego, and those are extra costs not only travel, gas, food, lodging. And how can a parent, yes, in these days and times where everything actually is more expensive, if you don't need to have an uh only grown up with one uh uh parent as well. Yes. So it makes it hard for that individual in any sport trying to achieve what other kids are going based on economic uh or financial status, right? Uh and so that's kind of what you're looking at. You started diving into like what's going on, and and then um when you started diving into it and everything and kind of doing research and just looking around, what did you find and how did it, you know, so um it's no secret that it's very difficult to get to the college level and play.
SPEAKER_00:But I think the if you start talking about numbers, I think it's more um it's easier to grasp. So if you have like, I think there's approximately eight million high school student athletes who participate in varsity sports. Less than 500 of those, 500,000 of those will make it to the college level. That's just that's under seven percent.
SPEAKER_01:Wow.
SPEAKER_00:You you you you're a betting guy, right? If I told you, hey Caesar, make this bet, you have a six and a half percent chance of of winning. Is that a good? I mean, it's it's really not a smart bet, right? No. So that's just across the plane. Now, if you put finances into it with the a family that's maybe comes from a lesser um fortunate or less uh what's the what's the word I'm looking for? I guess just less uh um less financial means that's called okay, okay, in the family. That that statistic is immediately cut in half, just over three percent.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, that's that's a ridiculous number. Yeah. So how do we at least get those guys um, how do we recapture that with those maybe families and and kids that are maybe deserving of it? And then their finances shouldn't, I mean, unfortunately it does, but it shouldn't have an effect on uh hopefully at least getting them to the next level.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I think I think I think when I was growing up and I heard a uh a documentary on CC Sabatia, and he said that if he grew up in today's times, he probably would never make it to the to the major leagues. But because back then it was a level playing field based on not monetary or financial means or or things like that. It was um, you know, back then getting recruited would you make some videos and send them out to colleges, right? And you get whatever work you can from your coaches and other friends and whatnot. But now, in order to get that level of playing, like uh experience with better talent and get exposure, you have to play travel ball, you have to play club, you have to join somewhere where you're gonna get exposed to these colleges, and it wasn't that way back then. And so now we're talking about the one necessity that all these people need in order to get more exposure is money. Yes, because you have to join these teams, yes, or else you're just kind of getting stuck behind. And it's not cheap.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, it's not cheap. I mean, like I said, I don't want to fault anybody. I mean, at the end of the day, it's still a business, and as as good as your heart is, at the end of the day, you still gotta put food on the table for your family. Yeah, and but you're also providing a service that at the end of the day is that you believe in that's gonna better the person. All right. So um, in any case, so as I spoke to parents, coaches, and you know, other colleagues regarding this this discrepancy and this idea I had, the there was a resounding agreement that said, hey, yeah, that would be that would be great. I think there could be a use for this. And so that's how it was born.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, you know, and and what a great idea. What an amazing um idea coming all not only also, like you said, uh from personal experience of like you're sacrificing your, you know, you're you're you're using your own financial means to help out and assist and support your family and your kids to get to the next level. But it is even um, I don't know, like we're talking about money at a medium uh financial status uh difficult. Yes. Um and thank God you know, you and Gail and family work together to assist and and take somebody there and and and pick up somebody and and and go to help support and give them assistance and and network. And there's so much to it. Uh tell us a little bit about what the mission is for level play foundation. Like what is the the core mission of what the foundation is about and what you hope to succeed with it?
SPEAKER_00:Well, actually, it's exactly in the name. It's to level the playing field for those athletes who who work hard, who get the grades, who have the skills to move to the next level, but are just missing out and falling in between the cracks because they're not able to take advantage of the exposure that camps have, or maybe the school they play at um isn't as uh high profile. And so they're kind of falling into in the cracks and they're missing the opportunities. So we'd like to help get them there.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Um, you know, the foundation uh as we see it is not really for the four or five-star athlete. Those guys, whether they have financial means or not, they're gonna get seen.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Because they're they're the they're called the blue chip athletes, right? Yeah. It's also not for the your athlete that's really good who has a who's an average student. Because at the end of the day, we want to help um student athletes, yeah. Really someone to get a higher level of education to continue doing what they love to do, which is to play, and help them, and help uh their academics and their sports help them get to the next level and succeed in life. That's kind of that's where it's at. So um the I guess the target applicant would be someone who excels in the classroom, and maybe someone who's just a one or two-star athlete that can kind of just needs that extra boost to help them get exposed to the right colleges. And um sometimes that's difficult. And sometimes you're gonna need to, it's kind of like my son. Yeah, um, we're gonna need to get them out there because they're not gonna come to you.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Right. And then what what uh so you're looking for these these athletes, obviously. There's a new foundation, nonprofit. What is the what are the qualifications? You explained kind of like what is uh the the kids that fit that model, but what are some of the qualifications for these athletes? And and it is also for all athletes, uh, for all sports. It's not just basically football, you have basketball, football, you have tennis, you have golf, you have everything, uh, all athletes. Um what are the qualifications to say, hey, I need some of that assistance, I need some of that exposure. How can somebody sign up for the Level Play Foundation?
SPEAKER_00:So if you go on our website, which I'll I'll tell you about later, um, I think the the ideal candidate would be someone that's uh middle school, seventh, eighth grade, someone that's getting ready to play in a higher level high school, all the way to pretty much junior year, right before you're gonna get too um recruited. Um someone who it's probably we actually have a graph of what's the the ideal candidate would be. Someone that's at least you know a 3.0 student, and like I said, we're talking about a player assessment, and someone that would that at least has the opportunity or the makeup to make it to the next level. I mean, at the end of the day, we would like to say, oh, if you work hard enough, you you'll you'll you'll play. That's not so. Otherwise, that six, seven percent number would be a lot higher. Yeah, and so all right, there that's a whole other topic now. I think player assessment's important, um, especially when you're before a family starts to dump all their money into and invest in their kid, they should know their chances in making it. And a lot of times there's misinformation or or misdirection that is given to the kid and the family.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Let's say, let's say you're a business, let's say, right? If someone comes to you and says, Hey Caesar, I want to I want to lose weight, you know, and then you say, Okay, well, then you assess them. You did it with my kids, right? You say, This is what you want. And you say, Okay, well, if you eat this, you do this, you work out this, and you stay in the strict, strict protocol of of uh diet and and exercise that I give you, you'll lose weight. You can guarantee that. Yeah, because it's a science, right? Or if you do this, they're gonna lose weight. If a child comes to you, an athlete, and goes, Hey Caesar, I want to make my my volleyball team at school. I wanna, or uh, this guy says, this girl says, I want to make I want to I don't want to just make the team, I want to start. Uh so I want to get stronger, faster, better. And she said, Okay, well, well, uh, you know, well, Billy, if you do If you do this diet, you work out with me doing this, and we do this, this, and this, you can guarantee, yeah, you're gonna get faster, you're gonna get better, you're gonna get stronger. You can guarantee all that. Yeah. But can you really guarantee you're gonna make the team?
SPEAKER_01:No.
SPEAKER_00:You can't. Those are not out of your control. That's totally out of control. So I think a lot of that has and so if you look at all this crazy stuff that's being said on social media, they say, oh, if you do this, this, and this, your dreams will come true. I'm not here to to squish anyone's dream. I just want to be real before someone find you know, financial a family says someone like you is respected and say, Oh, you could do it. So dump all this money into it. You you know, so Daniel, we just need to be giving uh accurate information out there before you can invest in it.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, but in and then and in in hindsight, uh the same thing I could go is like, but if you don't train, eat well, and work out and have good working habits and work hard, you're definitely I can guarantee you're not gonna make that team. Or you're not gonna get better, or you're not gonna have a I think I can guarantee you're not gonna make the team. I can guarantee you're not gonna get better.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, that's right. So at least you can guarantee I can increase your chances of getting your goal. So I think that's where it has to start, where you have some some sense of uh honest direction there. And a lot of them don't.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Well unfortunately. I'm not gonna say anybody, you know.
SPEAKER_01:But you know, I mean, I I've dealt with a lot of athletes that have come through my door here. And um, sometimes uh parents have a blinded eye, you know what I'm saying? They look at their kid and they're like, oh, yeah. And it's okay because you love them and you support them and stuff, but you know, it's hard to hear the truth sometimes, even for the kid, you know. Uh uh many, many kids uh join a team that is uh less to par and they're the star in that team. But when you go to a team that's like really, really, really good, and you're like, well, what happened to me? Well, you were uh in a team that wasn't tongs on, and it's it happens everywhere.
SPEAKER_00:It's a pyramid, right? The higher you go, the the less, you know, the the less chances are you making it. You know, the harder you have to there's levels to it.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, I can go back when I was going to high school in Notre Dame to you know, even uh uh JUCO, and then even to D1, I was like, oh, everything just got the all the um the mistakes, the little things uh were magnified. Yep. Uh an error, right? Everybody's good. That that 500 batting average when you would hit it to the outfield and that right fielder was lost and would wouldn't touch the ball because he was lost and he didn't belong there, he was the worst on the team, uh gave you a 500 batting average. Everybody out there's now making diving plays, plays a ball that's going over the thing, is they're catching it, they're throwing out people. So now your batting average is 288. Okay, so uh in order for an athlete um to uh get assistance um and qualify for the foundation, there's gonna be an assessment of grades. Um uh probably the family gets uh interviewed. There's a financial aspect of it stuff. Okay. So then they would fill out a questionnaire, there would be an interview and assessment, whatnot. Um, also uh an athletic assessment, obviously.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, so I'm obviously that's another uh if people want to reach out to me. Uh we're looking for different coaches that not just help, but also assess if they want to give their time. Okay. You know, um the also it's not just you applying. If if you family you know, somebody you know who thinks could be deserving of this, nominate them. They're it's on the website. Uh you can nominate you. Let's say you you have this uh someone that works out with you who maybe you help financially and give them a huge discount because you know their family family situation.
SPEAKER_01:I do that to everybody.
SPEAKER_00:And you probably do, you know, and um and you say, Hey, you know, uh, hey, level play, have this person, put them in there, and then you know, we can dive into it. Um it would just be like the recommendation.
SPEAKER_01:Hey, I recommend this contact info, and then um then the contact goes to them, and then there would be a further assessment. Yes, it doesn't mean you're in, it just means hey, we need to let's see what's what it's all about.
SPEAKER_00:And and honestly, uh at the end of the day, it doesn't always have to be financial. Let's say I reach out to like you, you're a part of this foundation, you can go, hey Caesar, we have this person, they don't have the means. You'll throw in your time to help that kid train. Or uh I can go to another let's say uh basketball coach who does basketball. And you know, my my um sister-in-law just started a foundation for for uh for high school um female uh or or girls flag football. I I love it. You know, I love that uh I wish that existed when my daughter was um in high school. And so she's trying to help grow that, the and the spread the word there and in colleges. Um, you know, my brother's been involved in in high-level football. I don't know how many kids that guy got to play in college. Uh he's been in over 30 years, I think.
SPEAKER_01:Shout out to Michael.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, so um, so I have we have a lot of uh people that are helping the cause, um, but we always use it's unlimited in the number of people that can step up and do this and help us.
SPEAKER_01:So um the um have you thought about I just it just crossed my mind right now, but you're saying all this stuff about obviously assisting, helping, uh passion. I know where your heart comes from. Um, did you ever think about, or is this Love of Play Foundation ever think about maybe um getting a travel ball team and club team in different sports?
SPEAKER_00:As well as it grows, maybe, you know. I mean, it's so new. We're we're in such an early stage. Uh, you know, we're in fact we're still waiting for our nonprofit status to be approved, but we do have uh uh we're a um we're already recognized in the state of California. We have our EIN number. We're just um waiting for our application to get processed. Like I said, we're new. Um right now we're just getting the word out, yeah. And everything's a good idea right now for me, you know, for this foundation. Um for really the more we can help, the better. Um, like I said, the the goal right now, and I really appreciate your time and letting me do this, is to get the word out there. Yeah, increase our followers because I think the more people know um the better. We're on uh Instagram, we're on Twitter, we're on Facebook, we have a website that's live. Um we'd like to increase our followers. We we provide a lot of uh helpful tips and information on there. So if you know, you have a if you or a family or a student athlete, you know, we're pro you know, we're we're putting out some hopefully helpful content out there that um that can help you.
SPEAKER_01:No, I uh I'm looking at the social media that you have on Instagram, and some of the information and things that you're putting out uh consistently are are very informational. Uh they're awesome, they're great during the holidays. Um and and so on social media and the website, it's still gonna be level play foundation.
SPEAKER_00:So uh yeah, Instagram is um at level play foundation. Uh on Twitter X, it's Level Play FDN. And then the website is levelplayfoundation.org.org. Yes. Okay.
SPEAKER_01:Um right now, obviously, like you said, your new new kids on the block here, right? Starting this, and there's so many nonprofit foundations doing so many, such good work everywhere. Um, if if businesses, uh people, coaches, teachers, uh, everybody, right, willing to donate. Obviously, I know you're waiting for your not uh for your um um what am I the nonprofit, the uh status to be approved, yes. Yeah, um but um what's your message to them to try to um I know you're not trying to ask right now for money or nothing, but but what would be the message for you to say, hey man, this is what we're doing, this is what we're here, and if you ever are interested in assisting, um, you know, help out right now.
SPEAKER_00:Like I said, the goal is to get the word out that we're out here. We want to help. Yeah, um, we're legitimate. Um the for you know coaches to uh high school coaches to youth coaches to trainers to um tutors, even yeah, we'll take your time, yeah. You know, and all you're gonna do is you know, maybe give some of your time or give it at a discounted rate to help kids that that need it, yeah, to just help them get uh to be better, yeah um and increase their chances and and level the playing field for them. I love that thing too. Yeah, and then uh as for business schools, churches, whatever. I mean, we're we're uh we're open. I mean, we're not gonna turn on a donation, but and we like I said, we have an active EIN number. Um it's just a matter of time before I we we receive our uh our nonprofit status. I think it's it should be any day now.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Um other than that, like I said, we you know, we'd appreciate a follow. Yeah. Uh we're we're looking to um do a lot more fundraisers this year. We're in the um grant writing process as as we speak. Um if you follow us, you know, hopefully we start doing some events. Maybe we'll do a you know, a golf fundraiser.
