Sports Equity defines the next level of peak performance by placing empathy and human connection at the center of athletic success. Founded at Yale in 2017 and recruited to Stanford in 2024, we expand access to the positive values of sport through research, community engagement, and commercial innovation. Centering the “intangilbes” as foundational to performance, we argue that how we move together shapes how we live together: Fair Sports, Fair World.
The Director
“The traditional way of doing sports – and by extension sports science, medicine, governance and innovation, starts from the Institution’s perspective and measures bodies, not people. This approach has produced policies, practices, and products that can harm athletes and turn them into disposable commodities. We are exploring what happens when we flip the script, start from the athlete’s perspective, and both measure and optimize the human elements of performance such as belonging and well-being. Not always easy, but we love sports too much to leave them as they are.”
