OUR STORY

How We Started

From a simple idea to a comprehensive sports platform

2018

Marcus Thompson

JMI Sports was founded by former college athletes who recognized the need for better visibility and opportunities in amateur sports. What started as a small database of player profiles quickly gained traction in the DC area.

2019

Platform Launch

We launched our first digital platform, allowing athletes to create profiles and connect with local events. Our first showcase event attracted over 200 participants and dozens of college scouts.

2020

Digital Transformation

When in-person events were limited, we pivoted to virtual showcases and digital scouting tools. This innovation allowed us to expand our reach beyond the DC area to the entire East Coast.

2021

National Expansion

JMI Sports expanded nationally, partnering with major youth sports organizations and collegiate programs. Our platform now featured advanced analytics and performance tracking.

2022

Today & Beyond
