A New Pathway for Every Athlete in New York
New York is home to hundreds of thousands of athletes competing in middle school, high school, college, adult leagues, workforce leagues, and senior fitness programs. While few will play professionally, every athlete develops qualities employers value: discipline, teamwork, leadership, resilience, and coachability.
Sports Power Infrastructure™ is a technology platform that helps governments, utilities, companies, and nonprofits increase participation in workforce, savings, supplier, and community programs by rewarding people with sports and entertainment experiences.
Powered by the Sports Power Rating™, it creates a verified pathway from sports to education, careers, supplier opportunities, and economic mobility through the Top 100 New York All-State™ rankings.
