SportsVisio Lens Vol. 4

Hello everyone, Emmett Roy here, bringing you Vol. 4 of The Lens.

Reflecting on my journey with SportsVisio, from joining in February to becoming full-time this July, I can't help but think back to my beginnings, all rooted in basketball.

Some of my earliest memories involve getting off the bus after school and playing basketball with my siblings until we were physically exhausted.

What started as casual shooting evolved into much more: eight-hour AAU tournaments on weekends, dribbling drills in the driveway, after-school skills clinics, and even a competitive pickup league organized by my dad, complete with a new Goalrilla hoop in our driveway. Basketball was my passion, and it consumed my life.

As I transitioned out of the competitive scene, I became an avid fan, relishing the greatness of both College and NBA teams. Growing up with players like Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and more recently Jayson Tatum, I’ve witnessed some of the most inspiring moments in sports.

These athletes create moments that resonate worldwide, and nothing more motivates me than that.

Throughout college, I struggled to identify a career I was passionate about. I pivoted to majoring in entrepreneurship during my final year to immerse myself in the startup world. About two months in, I discovered SportsVisio and knew immediately that I wanted to be part of it.

Today, I feel incredibly fortunate to combine my business experience with my lifelong passion for sports, contributing to the transformation of sports globally.
