Olympic Gold Medalist

Jessica Hardy Meichtry is an Olympic Gold Medalist in swimming and a multiple World Record holder. Making her first national team at age 18 in 2005, she went on to continue being amongst the best in the world for over a decade. 

She won over twenty-eight international medals, the highlight being her gold and bronze medals from the 2012 London Olympic Games. She competed at UC Berkeley for two years, winning four NCAA titles, before “going pro,” and ultimately finishing her bachelors degree in Communications from Arizona State University. 

She was elected team captain of the U.S. National team in 2013, 2014 and 2015, which she credits as the accomplishment she is most proud of during her career.

Jessica’s last competitive race was at the Olympic Trials in 2016, where she was competing with significant injuries and did not make the Olympic team. She was excited to take a step back from the sport to spend more time with her husband, Dominik Meichtry (fellow Olympian, competed in the 2004, 2008, and 2016 Games), and now, her daughter Olivia (born March 2018).

Jessica joins the BSN Sports team as the Swimming Brand Ambassador, is eager to learn, and to help this emerging sport continue to grow.

BSN SPORTS and the Texas Girls Coaches Association (TGCA) have teamed up to provide coaching resources, clinics and tips to girls’ sports coaches in Texas. BSN is providing exclusive coaching content and events with Nancy Lieberman to TGCA members.

Founded in 2018, Women of Will (WOW) is an exclusive women's high school sports sponsorship powered by BSN SPORTS and Under Armour® that exists to celebrate the surmounting of any obstacle, whether mental, physical or rooted in society’s expectations. WOW is the only girl’s sports high school sponsorship in the country.

The Art of Coaching is the most prestigious volleyball coaching clinic in the USA led by former Olympic Coach Terry Liskevych, the winningest coach in the NCAA Russ Rose, and five-time National Champion Stanford coach John Dunning. 

This collaborative effort between BSN SPORTS, Under Armour, and High Major Sports was inspired by Stephen Curry’s initiative to create more playing opportunities for girls of all ages. As Under Armour strives to make basketball inclusive for all, the Under Armour Association (UAA) announces three newly formed grassroots platforms with Girls UAA, Girls UA Rise and Girls UA Future, which will encompass the entire spectrum of grassroots basketball from 17U to 10U for girls. 

Founded in late 2018, during a period of record pace growth at BSN SPORTS, there was a clear opportunity to develop a professional group that encourages diversity and opportunity for women. The group is designed to engage, empower and connect women at BSN SPORTS. All employees are invited to join this professional development group.
