We foster social justice and decency in sport. Through science, summits, and stories, we connect athletes, academics and organizations across disciplines and scales to make sport more accessible, safe, and successful for all, especially those on society’s margins. Accelerating equity in sport allows sport to do the same in society. Fair sports, fair world. 

We created a video that summarizes our philosophy.

Strategic Partnerships

The Director

The traditional way of doing sports – and by extension sports science, medicine, and governance, is starting from the Institution’s perspective, and using athletes to serve the institution. This approach has produced policies and practices that can harm athletes and turn them into disposable commodities. We are exploring what happens when we flip the script and start from the athlete’s perspective. Not always easy, but we love sports too much to leave them as they are. – Yetsa Tuakli-Wosornu
