Tom Sigismonti

Owner & CEO of Gamebreaker Athletics

Tom Sigismonti attended St. John's University in Queens, NY where he received a Bachelor's of Science degree in the field of Sports Management. While a student at St. John's University, he interned at Island Garden Basketball and Lightning Basketball on Long Island where he started as an evening facility manager performing simple tasks and overseeing the ongoing events each night. Upon graduation, he began working as a part time staff member at Island Garden Basketball and Lightning Basketball and was then promoted to a full time facility manager position.

In 2016, Tom was promoted to Director of Operations of Island Garden Basketball and Lightning Basketball where he was responsible for overseeing, marketing, promoting, coordinating and scheduling all youth and adult league and tournament games. This typically amounted to over 7,500 games played throughout Long Island in various venues annually. Tom was also responsible for coordinating and scheduling the practice and tournament schedules for Lightning teams each season. In addition to these duties, Tom was responsible for overseeing and growing the registration of over 500 Lightning Basketball team participants, and assisting with the hiring of all Lightning Basketball boys coaches.

Throughout his career in the youth sports industry, Tom has built a wide network of relationships with program directors and event and facility operators.

"Sports is one of the very few areas in life that brings families and participants together from all walks of life and allows relationships to be built through hard work, discipline, success and even failure. The lessons that children can learn through sports and the mentors and relationships they gain and build are life long and I am grateful I can play whatever small part I may, in the stories that are told years and decades from now."
