ADEKUNLE OLUSANYA

Born to Nigerian immigrants and raised in Tampa, Florida, Coach Ade embraced the principles of mental and physical, and a relationship with God from an early age. This foundation paved the way for him to secure a football scholarship to Furman University, where he deepened his appreciation for the inherent values of sports. Post-collegiate, while involved with the transitional support company Next Play, Coach Ade witnessed the challenges athletes encounter after retiring from their respective sports. This firsthand experience prompted him to establish Limit Lifters, a platform dedicated to empowering young student-athletes for success both on and off the field, guiding them towards their best selves. Coach Ade is steadfast in his belief that triumph in sports is indicative of life skills, and his mission is to enlighten athletes about the vast extent of their potential beyond the confines of the game.

After leaving football behind, Ade discovered a new passion in martial arts, igniting a career that began in 2020. As an undefeated kickboxer and Muay Thai practitioner, he swiftly rose to the top of his weight class in the Southeast. This transition showcases Ade's commitment to continuous personal growth and mastery across diverse disciplines. His success in the martial arts arena further exemplifies his dedication to excellence and serves as an inspiring testament to the limitless potential found beyond the boundaries of a singular sports career.

Coach Ade has been married for 2 years and loves calling Greenville home!
