Why Travel?

  • It gets you out of your comfort zone and teaches you about yourself (you’ll be surprised)
  • Travel teaches you economy, politics, history, geography, and sociology in an intense, hands-on way no class will.
  • It puts life in perspective
  • You’ll make friends from across the globe (networking 101)
  • It looks great on your resume (employers aren’t looking for mediocre, they’re looking for leaders)
  • You’ll discover the world’s incredible cultural diversity
  • You’ll experience places you never imagined existed
  • You might learn a new language
  • You’ll have incredible adventures (and stories to tell)
  • Experience completely new cuisines
  • Travel happiness is infectious (you’ll get to TELL YOUR STORY!)

Seeing the world provides an education that’s absolutely impossible to get in school. Fortunately, the school of travel is always taking applications, no entrance exam required. If you’re open and willing, travel will make you an incredibly more well-rounded human being. And that’s really the goal, isn’t it?

History

USAAI has been participating in international competition since 1992. Originally called the Midwest All-Stars, the organization provided overseas playing opportunities to baseball players. The success of that program eventually prompted requests from abroad for other sporting teams to participate. In 1998 the organization incorporated and received its 501(c)(3) nonprofit status (available upon request), changing its name to USA Athletes International. We now support a total of 15 different sports that compete in 25 different countries throughout the world.
