About The Core Development
For many people, the hallmarks of success are identified as wealth, power. But we at Core Development, believe that being successful is more about setting and achieving goals while maintaining your character and integrity. We believe that dreaming big is the first step in making success a reality. Core Development works with families and students who desire to expand their knowledge, athletic ability and mental acuity to reach their potential. We will help the athlete gain confidence, enhance their sport specific skills and create a more positive outlook in life.
At Core Development, we would like to redefine the meaning of success. To do so, we have developed our three Core Principles:
Education is fundamental -
We strive to build an athlete’s academic, social, emotional, and sport specific skills by comprising a diverse group of coaches, teammates and mentors, to prepare them for the next level.
Sports increase exposure and promote opportunity -
We will provide the best sports training possible with the focus to help each individual achieve their fullest potential. All training will be performed by certified trainers as well as college athletes.
Mentors -
We will provide mentors as a resource to the student athletes to help them with life skills and difficult decisions. Mentors make up the backbone of the organization which provides the support needed to help the young athlete navigate through their choices and discover the deeper meaning to what real success looks like.

Emmanuel Gatling
I have recognized my calling to give back to the youth and help those understand what I learned from my parents; the saying “you can be anything you want, as long as you work hard at it” is true and I look forward to working with student athletes and helping them experience things they would otherwise not have the chance to see. As a former college athlete and Chemical engineer graduate of Mississippi State University and now a father, I understand the importance of self-determination and success building. I am very honored to teach and grow with you.
Quin Gatling
Sports has always been one of my deepest passion. It’s the catalyst to why I remained focused and determine in taking charge of my education, my family and my community. After graduating from Mississippi State University with a degree in Accounting and Business Administration, I developed the desire for helping the next generation by creating a platform for them to channel their way of processing information. Mentoring student athletes comes with an unprecedented reward, the gift of knowing that I am playing a significant role in changing their lives for the better. Now the Vice President of Operations at Core Development, I am once again in my element where I can mentor, nurture, and guide student athletes that are destined for greatness. I am responsible for making sure that Core Development runs smoothly and that your experience is unforgettable.
