“Our coaches and support staff are the backbone of Team USA, driving success from the grassroots level to the global stage. Their tireless efforts continue to elevate our athletes, their NGBs and Team USA as a whole. As we applaud the remarkable accomplishments of 2023, we gratefully commend all eight individual award winners and their steadfast dedication to excellence in and around their sport.”
NGB Support and Long-Term Stability #
The USOPC is committed to the ongoing support of our 50+ NGBs, ensuring they can continue to become stronger organizations to benefit Team USA athletes. Based on the 2023 year-end NGB Satisfaction Survey, 80% of NGB employee respondents reported being satisfied or very satisfied with the USOPC.
Expanding the Sport Ecosystem#
Advancing Key Public Policy
The USOPC, Team USA AC, NGB leaders and athletes engaged in the California Revenue Sharing bill debate, Assembly Bill 252, which would have redirected athletic department funding away from Olympic sport programs. Together, we helped educate California State Legislators about the importance of the collegiate system to the Team USA pipeline. The bill ultimately did not pass, preventing the loss of several Olympic sports on campuses and preserving sport opportunities for thousands of student athletes.
