David Volturno, Senior Recruiting Coordinator
Southern Connecticut State University
I have a passion for helping young athletes achieve their dreams. I graduated from Southern Connecticut with a degree in Sport Management and during my time there, I had the privilege of working within the athletic department and assisting with game day operations. This experience allowed me to create special memories, unique relationships and learn so much. Coaching youth basketball in my hometown of Monroe, CT was also a highlight for me, as I love to help people and watch them hit their goals.
I am passionate about connecting talented student-athletes with opportunities to further their athletic and academic careers. With a focus on empathy and understanding, I prioritize building authentic connections with clients and tailoring solutions to their unique needs. Effective communication is at the heart of my approach, and I believe that building trust with clients is key to delivering results and creating a positive experience for everyone involved. Whether working with student-athletes, parents, or college coaches, my goal is to make the recruiting process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
I’m a huge believer in building ever-lasting relationships and helping those in need. With the COVID-19 pandemic paralyzing most of the world, the importance of sports in any form has become obvious. To me, sports are more than just physical activity and competition. They are a culture that knows no boundaries, emotions, achievements, and great venues, but they are also the fun and healthy spark in your everyday life. No matter the perspective, sports are for everyone, and that is something that truly appeals to me.
I am also a huge believer in family – a little fun fact about me is that I am a triplet and my siblings, and I attended the same university! I have two dogs who I love to take out on hikes, and in my free time, you can find me watching any sport on TV or playing a sports video game while hanging out with my family and friends.
