OurMission
We exist to empower youth to learn, grow, and thrive in the business of sports. Through real-world experience and industry exposure, we prepare the next generation to become respected, influential leaders across all areas of sport. The Sports Leadership Project is committed to changing the face of professional and amateur athletics by building a more inclusive, educated, and equipped pipeline of future decision-makers
The Why
There is a significant underrepresentation of diverse voices in sporting goods manufacturing and retail. This imbalance mirrors the broader leadership disparities that persist across every sector of the sports industry. Too often, young people from underrepresented communities are led to believe their greatest opportunities lie solely on the field or court of play. While major footwear and apparel brands have begun to address gaps in their leadership pipelines, an even greater void exists in retail ownership and equipment manufacturing.We will no longer accept a system that limits our youth to participation alone. They deserve access to the boardroom, the design studio, the factories, the sales floor, and the executive suite.
