Next Steps in Building a Youth-Centered Model for Sports

What would a truly youth-centered model for sports look like? We speak with athletes and the head of the organization charged with oversight of amateur sports in the United States – the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee – about how we can achieve a new state of play.

Giving Kids a Right to Play Sports

The voice of professional and college athletes has grown across sports, but what about kids — who is advocating for them? What do they want and deserve in a sport experience? Project Play talks with player representatives from Athletes for Hope about principles that can be used to improve the delivery of programs and promote the goals of health, safety and equity — by race, gender and ability.

The Future of Olympic & Paralympic Sport

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unexpected challenges and opportunities for sport in the U.S.  Participation in sport brings tremendous value to society, and serves as a pipeline to compete on the world’s biggest stage. What have we learned and what should we consider? With an eye on future Games, including the return to LA in 2028, we want a positive story to tell about our nation’s state of play broadly and the expanded impact of sport in our country. What’s the role of the Olympic and Paralympic community in making it happen? And what support is needed?
