The science behind
the athlete.
The nation's first youth-focused research institute, SPRI turns elite training environments into living labs, producing real data on sport, health and human performance.
One integrated lab
The SPIRE Performance Research Institute is a cross-disciplinary lab dedicated to advancing youth athletic performance through real-world research and applied technology.
Based on SPIRE Academy's 800-acre campus in Northeast Ohio, SPRI brings together elite athletes, academic researchers and tech companies to test new ideas on real athletes, not in theory, and turn what works into the next standard in sports performance.
Test. Train.
Re-test.
Six research pillars, run inside a real elite-training environment, producing data that informs everything from training regimens to product design.
