Our Story
We're parents and coaches on a mission to centralize youth sports communities and make them more accessible through modern technology.
2024
Founded with a Clear Mission
Podium Athlete was founded in 2024 with a clear mission: use modern technology to create a true youth sports community.
Podium Athlete started with a simple question: Why is youth sports so hard to navigate?
Our founders—Olympic coach Chris and tech entrepreneur Brandon—were tired of struggling through the chaos of finding coaches, managing schedules, and discovering opportunities. They envisioned something better: a true community hub where families could connect with coaches, scheduling is quick and easy, and no parent misses out on camps or teams because they didn't know where to look.
That's the future we're building, a true community for youth sports…the way it should be.
