Meet the Innovators Behind YSSI
At the Youth Sports Science Institute (YSSI), we’re redefining what it means to play the game. YSSI bridges the worlds of sports, STEM, and technology, transforming athletic passion into pathways for lifelong success. Our programs empower underrepresented youth to explore real-world concepts like biomechanics, data analytics, and wearable technology—all while fostering teamwork, critical thinking, and a love for learning.
​
Our mission is simple yet bold: to inspire the next generation of thinkers, leaders, and innovators by using sports as a gateway to STEM education and careers. Through immersive programs and mentorship opportunities, we show students how their favorite games can unlock futures in tech, engineering, health sciences, and beyond.
With a focus on equity and impact, YSSI partners with schools, communities, and organizations to deliver:
-
In-School Programs: Bringing STEM directly into classrooms to connect curriculum with sports.
-
After-School Workshops: Hands-on learning that transforms ideas into action.
-
Mentorship Opportunities: Guiding students to dream big and achieve more.
​
By merging education and play, we aim to close opportunity gaps, break barriers, and give every student the tools to thrive.
