development
After the USA's modest performance at the 1972 Summer Olympics , Thomas P. Rosandich founded the academy in the same year as a training facility for coaches who could also acquire a coaching license here , for which there is no uniform institution in the USA. The academy annually awards the Amos Alonzo Stagg Coaching Award , which honors particularly deserving trainers. In addition to its few full-time staff, the academy has a large number of honorary teachers.
The attached American Sport Art Museum and Archives opened in 1984.
