​Frank Allocco was born and raised in New Providence, New Jersey. He attended New  Providence H.S. where he was an All State Athlete in three sports, football, basketball and baseball. He was also the Scholar Athlete for the class of 1971.

Upon graduation from high school, he earned a football scholarship to the University of Notre Dame where he participated on the Varsity football and basketball teams. He was a three year letterman in football as a quarterback and was set to be the starting quarterback in his redshirt senior year (1975) until a separated shoulder curtailed his playing time.

He eventually purchased Incentives for Learning, an educational publishing firm that produced and distributed educational materials serving school districts throughout the country.

In 1977, he became involved in youth athletics as a coach in the Saint Agnes CYO program and also served as the Athletic Director for over ten years. He is currently the President of the East Diablo CYO program and is the President of the Ultimate Sports Association.

In 1981, he founded the popular Excel in Basketball summer camp which serves as a teaching camp for basketball skills and provides a motivational base for the thousands of youngsters in California and in New Jersey that attend the camp each year.  

He has been a featured motivational speaker at corporate sales meetings, business groups and organizations, basketball clinics and camps. His message “The Winning Edge” has been embraced by the thousands of people who have heard his inspirational lectures. In 2002, he was a lead clinician at the Nike All Asia Basketball Clinic in Beijing, China and in 2010 was the featured speaker to the Belgium Basketball Federation.

In his six year tenure, the Broncos compiled a 167-28 won-lost record. They were the California State Champions in 1995 and were the State Runner-up in 1996. He was named East Bay Coach of the Year in 1995 and 1996.
