Beyond the Gloves: COBA Boxers Build Brighter Futures with ETEC by Their Side
At Charter Oak Boxing Academy in Hartford, young fighters are training for more than titles—they’re preparing for life.
As featured in NBC Connecticut’s Connecticut in Color, COBA is transforming the lives of youth through a rare combination of championship-level boxing and top-tier educational support. And ETEC—Elite Tertiary Education Consulting—is proud to be part of that journey.
Our partnership with COBA ensures that every student-athlete has access to post-secondary opportunities, mentorship, and a roadmap for success outside the ring. While boxing helps them build discipline, confidence, and focus, ETEC helps them channel that same energy into college, vocational training, and entrepreneurship.
Just ask Elian Delgado, a senior who now dreams of becoming both a pro boxer and a business owner. Or Adrian Santiago, a 16-year-old preparing to represent Team USA in Ireland this summer—an opportunity made possible by COBA’s commitment to excellence and ETEC’s educational guidance.
These aren’t just athletes—they’re future leaders. And at ETEC, we believe in equipping them with the tools to win in every arena of life.
