📚 Back to School – Back to the Grind!
Summer is officially winding down, and this week many of our kids are heading back to school. We want to wish all of our student-athletes the best of luck in the classroom and on the field. Good luck to everyone competing in fall sports—we’re rooting for you to crush it this season!

💡 In the Spotlight
Business Impact NW Impact Pitch Competition
We’re back in the running! In 2023, we made it to the finals and won Best Marketing Video. This year, we’ve sharpened our pitch and are working hard to make it into Rounds 4 and 5, with another live competition at the finish line.
To prepare, we’ll be bringing in a professional photographer and videographer to capture action shots and videos:
- To showcase how we deliver our value to athletes on social media and our website
- To create graphics for the windows of our new facility
And speaking of the new facility—construction is moving along, even with a few bumps in the road. Stay tuned for more updates soon!
🎉 Final Note
Let’s keep this quiet… but it’s also Coach Brooks’ birthday this month!
Thank you for being part of the Sound Sports Performance family. Together, we’ll make September a strong month both inside and outside the gym.
💪 – Coach Fed
