Our Mission

The sports industry maintains boundless possibilities. The Future of Sport Institute (FoSI) exists to reimagine the future of sport, accelerating innovation that transforms how sport is played, experienced, and led. We aim to solve real-world challenges across the sports ecosystem. To do so, we unite academic rigor, insights from athletes and fans, creativity, and cross-sector collaboration.

From how athletes perform to how fans connect, our passion is helping the sports industry anticipate changes and shape its future.

It's Time to Innovate

Recent studies indicate:

Declining Youth Participation 

  • Regular participation in core team sports among youth aged 6–17 declined by 6% between 2019 and 2022. (Source: Aspen Institute)

Shifting Consumption Habits

  • Only 18% of Gen Z adults attended a live sporting event last year. Thirty-three percent reported not watching live sports on TV. (Source: Morning Consult)

Financial Accessibility

  • Attending a sporting event is more expensive than ever. From 1999 to 2020, ticket prices for sporting events increased nearly double the general consumer inflation rate. (Source: Sportico)

Athlete Performance

  • At the same time, elite athletes like LeBron James, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Lindsey Vonn continue redefining longevity and peak performance. Meanwhile, the disillusionment of those who love college sports is no secret, with issues relating to NIL and the transfer portal causing major frustration. These shifts underscore a pivotal moment that demands bold and future-focused innovation.
