This week I will be speaking with Sally Ann Reiss, CEO of PlayyOn. PlayyOn’s founders were concerned with the declining sports participation rates in both youth and adults. Knowing that participating in sports and recreation is important for both physical and mental reasons they set out to improve the organized sports industry.

PlayyOn is made up of a group of athletes and coaches, passionate about promoting a lifelong love of sport and recreation activities. Their founding team participates in over 20 different sports! Though their choice of sport is diverse, they all share one thing in common: They Play Because They Love the Game!

“Sports has had a profound impact on all of our lives. We have learned to play as a team, learned to strive for our goals, and learned what resiliency is. We have learned the importance of dedication and self discipline…Most importantly, we believe that the best part of sport is experiencing the comaraderie you gain between you and your team - the unmatched feeling of connection and belonging.”

About Sally Ann: “I believe passionately in the power of sports as an important vehicle for learning and belonging. For the past 20 years, I have been involved in the founding of new ventures, with a passion for making a difference both at my job and in the world. My first experience with a new venture was a company called TiVo (pause live TV). I have been blessed to be involved with five others, including my current new venture called PlayyOn - Software Management Platform for Lifetime Participation in Sports and Fitness.”
