ABOUT US

Creating advocacy across sports 

Universal Sports Analytics began with a simple idea: individuals with the deepest understanding of sports seldom have access to a system that can capture and scale their expertise. Professional athletes understand the rhythm and nuance of performance in ways that numbers alone can not capture. Sports science experts understand how the body responds long before an injury appears. Engineers can turn complex data into structure and clarity. Yet in most sports, these groups operate in separate spaces, and their insights rarely translate into support for athletes. USA was created to bring these disciplines together and turn their collective expertise into a system that can scale across every level of play.

From the start, we set out to build an athlete-first platform that brings these experts together and turns their combined knowledge into something every athlete can access. Our goal is to create a framework that takes elite understanding and translates it into clear, actionable guidance for players, teams, and organizations across sports. We developed a repeatable blueprint that transforms expertise into independent companies dedicated to supporting individual sports. Universal Baseball Analytics became the first proof of this model, demonstrating how medical intelligence, performance insight, and engineered systems can come together to elevate development across baseball.

Today, USA continues to expand our vision, shaping new ventures in basketball, golf, hockey, and more. Each company stands on its own while drawing strength from the shared intelligence that drives the entire USA system. What began as a belief that expert guidance should be available to every level of play has evolved into a long-term venture platform for sports designed to elevate performance, protect health, and build the next generation of athlete-focused intelligence businesses.
