Sports, Games & Fitness Trends for Spring

Guest Bio: Mike May

For nearly 25 years, Mike May has been a leading spokesman in the sporting goods and fitness industry in the U.S. -- with the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (formerly Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association). The issues which occupy his time range from national trends in sports participation among children, women, and seniors to the emergence of niche sports like lacrosse, rugby, and ultimate frisbee to the growing global interest in sports licensed products. His experiences in the sports industry range from lobbying on Capitol Hill in support of federal legislation to support more PE in schools to defending the safety of non-wood baseball bats to giving Congressional testimony on the state of youth sports to making hundreds of appearances on television presenting the latest innovations and product introductions in the sports industry.

In his spare time, he coaches high school girls basketball, officiates high school soccer, and runs in preparation of the next 5K road race!
