STEM Sports is more than just a clever mashup—we provide a powerful teaching strategy. If there’s one key message educators should hear, it’s this:
STEM becomes real when students can move, play, and problem-solve all at once.
Why STEM & Sports is a Game-Changer for Educators:
It makes STEM tangible: Sports provide real-world examples of physics, data analysis, biomechanics, and engineering. Think: analyzing a thrown baseball’s velocity or learning geometry through golf.
It reaches more students: Some kids who shy away from traditional STEM subjects light up when they see those same concepts in action on the field or court of play. And, it connects to science for students who may not participate in sports or athletics.
It builds future-ready skills: Collaboration, critical thinking, and leadership are baked into both sports and STEM. Together, they prepare students for careers that don’t even exist yet, just like 21st-century learning should.
It reveals careers and jobs: Not every student will be a professional athlete, but they can find employment in the sport they love, which requires STEM skills.
It boosts engagement and retention: When students are physically and mentally involved, they’re more likely to stay curious and retain what they learn.
It fosters inclusivity: Sports-based STEM activities create a safe space for students to take risks, make mistakes, and grow, especially for those who may not see themselves in traditional STEM roles.
We know and believe that sports are not a break from learning, but as a bridge to deeper understanding.

The Sports Business Journal is the cornerstone of the sports business industry, providing news, analysis, networking, and data for the sports sector—the ultimate playbook for the sports industry. Last week, our President & CEO, Jeff Golner, was featured in the SBJ as he penned an Op-ed regarding the state of education and how the sports industry can give the U.S. a sporting chance to improve.
