At ElevateX365, we believe that the true measure of an athlete isn’t just how they perform on the field, but who they become off of it. That’s why our program is built around a simple but powerful mission: to elevate the person within the player — every day, no days off.
About
Leading this mission is Thomas Conley, a dedicated educator, mentor, and multi-sport coach whose life’s work is guiding young people to discover their highest potential.
With over 10 years of coaching basketball, 5 years coaching football and track, and 2 years coaching soccer, Thomas has shaped countless athletes across multiple sports. His passion for developing well-rounded, resilient competitors extends beyond the scoreboard — it’s about instilling confidence, discipline, and a sense of identity that lasts a lifetime.
Thomas also brings 9 years of classroom teaching experience, giving him a unique ability to connect with students where they are, understand their individual needs, and inspire them to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
As an athlete himself, Thomas knows firsthand the power of sports to transform lives. He played on the founding rugby team at Morehouse College, then went on to compete with the Fort Worth Men’s Rugby Club for 2 years, and also spent 2 years playing men’s club soccer in Fort Worth, TX. His diverse athletic journey fuels his philosophy: no matter the sport, it’s the person inside the player that matters most.
Through ElevateX365, Thomas channels his deep commitment to mentorship, helping youth and teen athletes in Charlotte and beyond build strong identities, embrace hard work, and get 1% better every day — on the field, in the classroom, and in life.
