There's more to Team USA and the Games than sport itself

Advance and perform: It applies as much to athletes as business itself. What makes a successful athlete or sports organization often goes beyond performance on the field of play and transcends the game they are known for. As a trusted advisor to LA28 and the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), Deloitte is helping engineer business advantage so these organizations can advance and perform. As a proud sponsor of Team USA, we celebrate that there’s so much more to winning than just on-field performance.

Team Deloitte in the United States

Team USA athletes spend hours training tirelessly, aiming to qualify for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, but being elite athletes isn’t their only accomplishment. Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls are also students, business professionals, entrepreneurs, leaders, and much more. No matter what they achieve in their game, it’s just the start line for the potential they can unlock outside the game. Get to know Deloitte’s four sponsored Team USA athletes below.

Nevin Harrison

Canoe (sprint)

There’s more to Nevin than sprint canoe. She’s also a passionate student, pursuing a career in the medical field while training. Nevin truly sprinted onto the scene, qualifying for her first Olympic Games at the age of 17. She then became the first female gold medalist at 19 in the sprint canoe, a new discipline in the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Jamal Hill

Para swimming

Jamal’s victories don’t stop at competitive swimming. While using unique training techniques to drive his own advantage and earning bronze in Tokyo, he also started a foundation with an innovative way to teach youth how to swim. Through his drive and the mission of his foundation, Jamal looks to create a positive wake in his hometown of Los Angeles that can create waves beyond it.

Lee Kiefer

Fencing

As a medical student and advocate of mental health and well-being, Lee’s successes go beyond fencing. In the lead-up to the Olympic Games in Tokyo, where she won a gold medal, she balanced training and her studies. Lee’s place as one of the top fencers in the world has helped provide her the opportunity to champion the cause for mental health and well-being.
