ABOUT US
Creating advocacy across sports
Our Beginning
USA began with a simple idea: experts who understand sport most deeply needed a system that can scale their insight. We built a platform that unifies athletic experience, sports science, and engineered systems into clear guidance for athletes at every level.
Our Model
We created a repeatable blueprint that turns expert knowledge into sport-specific companies. Universal Baseball Analytics demonstrated the strength of this model by showing how a shared intelligence system can elevate development and support across the sport.
Our Vision
Today, USA is expanding into basketball, golf, hockey, and more. Each venture stands on its own but draws power from the shared intelligence at the core of our platform. Our vision is to deliver expert-driven guidance to athletes and teams across all sports.
