United States Sports Academy — America’s Sport University

I’m delighted to announce that I’ve accepted the position of Director of Communications at the United States Sports Academy — “America’s Sports University” — located on the Gulf Coast in Daphne, Ala.
The United States Sports Academy is an independent, non-profit, accredited, special mission sports university created to serve the nation and the world with programs in instruction, research and service. The role of the Academy is to prepare men and women for careers in the profession of sports.
The Academy was founded in 1972 by Dr. Thomas P. Rosandich, the current President and Chief Executive Officer, in direct response to the ever increasing needs and demands in sport and society in America. From the beginning, the Academy’s general mission has been to serve the nation and the world as a sport education resource, upgrading sport through programs of instruction, research and service.

The Academy was born from the United States’ need for a national school of sport. This need was highlighted by the inferior United States team’s performance at the 1972 Munich Olympiad, which was attributed to poor administration, the lack of medical support, and unscientific coaching and training.
The United States Sports Academy has enjoyed a great of deal success over the past 37 years in its mission to become a national resource for sport education; indeed it has become known worldwide as “America’s Sports University®.” With almost 1,300 students studying sports annually in the Academy’s degree programs, the Academy’s sport education programs are considered to be among the largest in the world. And judging by the success of its alumni, they are unquestionably among the finest.
