HOW does Team USA AC being an independent entity from the USOPC benefit athletes?#

For more than half a century, Team USA Athletes Commission has been empowering Team USA athletes, yet our work is just beginning. We are grateful that the Commission recognized the importance of independence from the USOPC for Team USA AC. Should the recommendations be adopted into law, the increased autonomy, clarified Congressional authority, and a steady revenue stream, sets up Team USA AC for lasting success, as the powerful voice for all Team USA athletes, past, present and future.
