CA Football Prep was founded by 15-year-old Ryan Hassankhani, a teen entrepreneur who has battled Minimal Change Disease since age 2 but has been in remission since 10. Sports became a key outlet during his journey, and in high school, he discovered a passion for football. Realizing the impact of well-prepped footballs, Ryan launched CA Football Prep, offering a 3-day prep process that softens leather and improves grip—used by athletes from high school to the NFL.
