A tech company setting up shop in Fort Worth-Dallas believes its innovation could play a major role in the booming U.S. youth and amateur sports industries.

Rematch, a sports video platform founded in France, is launching a U.S. app allowing users to capture, create, and share highlights instantly through AI-powered tools and technology.

The U.S. branch is based in Dallas-Fort Worth. Its CEO is Hanna Howard, who as a former TCU women’s assistant basketball coach is well-versed in the landscape of amateur sports. (Yes, it is true that in just the few short years Howard has been out of college basketball, collegiate sports have morphed into an amateur-professional hybrid.)

The company has other Texas connections, including majority owner Intervalle Capital, an Austin-based private equity firm.

Rematch has become the leading sports video platform in France with eye-popping metrics, including more than 30 million monthly views from a community of more than 600,000 users and followers.

That’s the kind of market traction that has executives enthusiastic about the American market, beginning in Fort Worth and Dallas.

“We happen to be located in one of the best sports markets in the country. My philosophy is let’s work out the kinks here in the DFW market. Let’s make sure that we’re really positioning ourselves in the U.S. market,” Howard said. “Our strategies need to be different from the French market. Our sports markets are different. Our target audience is different.

“We’re going to define the business here in this market so that when I feel like I’ve got a really strong grasp on what we’re doing and what we’re offering, it makes it much more scalable to activate other markets.”

Rematch was founded by Pierre Husson and a group of friends.

Husson, whom Howard described as a successful mid-level athlete at the semi-pro level, often struggled to find video content from his games and leagues.

“Sure, there’s the tactical camera that coaches use, but none of that really engaging content he knew was out there,” Howard said.

Recognizing that gap in the market, Husson, his friends, and an uncle began tossing around the idea of a highlight platform.

They ultimately agreed, Howard recalled: “We believe in the idea. Let’s create it.”

The platform’s edge is proprietary “auto-rewind” technology, which allows users to record highlights after they happen. Users can track action and hit record after a made basketball or goal. The technology will rewind 10 seconds and capture the moment. Those are banked and can be compiled for use in a text or social media post. Moments captured also live in the Rematch gallery. (And it’s easy to use. I can use it, so … .)

There is also an opportunity for teams to create sponsorship partnerships for use on the app.

The app is free. Howard said it is gaining momentum with more than 2,300 new users in May, the company’s best month since launching in January with basketball and soccer.

The launch of a premium app is close, Howard said. It will capture video in 4K and an AI enabled voice filter feature will remove unwanted conversations near the device, but it will maintain the environment audio of the cheers and game action.

Video rights fees in the U.S. are unique. Broadcast companies pay huge sums to professional sports leagues, college conferences, or teams in exchange for exclusive rights air games or highlights on television or digital platforms.

Rematch has secured partnerships with major European sports organizations and national federations for basketball, hockey, rugby, soccer, and volleyball in France. Nike also took notice of what was happening in La Belle France. The shoe and apparel giant, an exclusive partner in the French Football Federation, is an exclusive sponsor of all Rematch content.

Rematch US has recently partnered with the Denton Diablos semi-professional soccer club to capture in-game highlights and fan featured highlights of the game as a social media campaign, Howard reported recently. The company is also piloting a program with Major League Rugby to capture in-game highlights during the Houston SaberCats’ final match.

“Rugby is the next sport that we’ll be launching on Rematch and we’re planning an onsite activation at the MLR Championship in Rhode Island at the end of June,” she said.

The youth sports industry in the U.S. is Permian Basin-type stuff, with vast reserves and high economic potential. The youth sports industry was valued at $42.4 billion, according to WinterGreen Research. More than 45 million children participate in organized sports annually in the U.S., according to Aspen Institute.  

“I’ve had conversations with a gentleman who’s on the Texas TaeKwonDo board, and he said there is nothing in the martial arts space for visibility of the sport,” Howard said. “He said that parents are craving something like this for their kids and for their sports.

Howard previously was the COO of Fort Worth-based Valor, a specialty asset management company with expertise in providing mineral management and oil and gas outsourcing. A former basketball player at the University of Portland, she had assistant coaching stints at University of California at San Diego, Utah State, and Fresno State before rising to associate head coach for the TCU women’s basketball team.

Today, she is in a different industry but still building teams and programs.

Electronic Communication by Players Clarified in High School Softball

No player shall be allowed to transmit or record audio or video from the playing surface in high school softball. This new language in Rule 1-8-6 of the NFHS Softball Rules Book further clarifies the use of electronic devices and what is permitted in the sport after language was added last year to allow for electronic communication for coaching purposes.

This change was the highlight of the NFHS Softball Rules Committee’s rules recommendations as a result of the committee’s annual rules meeting held June 15-17 at The Alexander hotel in Indianapolis. The NFHS Board of Directors subsequently approved the rules changes to take effect next year.

“While increased media exposure has positively influenced the growth and visibility of softball, the committee determined that the potential risks associated with players transmitting or recording audio or video through devices during live play outweighed the benefits,” said Sandy Searcy, NFHS director of sports and liaison to the Softball Rules Committee. “As wearable technology continues to evolve, the committee believed it was essential to establish clear guidelines regarding the permissible use of such devices to ensure the safety and integrity of the game.”

The proper uniform for an umpire was adjusted in Rule 10-4-2, noting that ‘charcoal gray’ slacks were allowed, instead of ‘heather gray.’

“Manufacturers have ceased production of heather gray umpire pants, and this update will help guide umpires toward selecting pant options that are actively being produced and readily available,” Searcy said.

Finally, the 2026 Softball Rules Book will include a reformatted Rule 8 for improved clarity and comprehension. Longer sections were separated, and additional article references were added to penalties and effects.

A complete listing of the softball rules changes will be available on the NFHS website at www.nfhs.org. Click on “Sports” at the top of the home page and select “Softball.”

According to the most recent NFHS High School Athletics Participation Survey, 345,451 girls in 15,635 high schools played fast-pitch softball in 2023-24 making it the fifth-most popular girls sport, while an additional 6,107 girls participated in slow-pitch softball.

Why Americans Are Ditching ‘Beach Body’ Goals For Authentic Wellness

Survey Finds 77% of Americans Now Prioritize Feeling Good Over Looking Good

In a nutshell

  • More than three-quarters of Americans are now putting how good they feel inside over how they appear on the outside, a major shift from the appearance-focused health culture
  • People are embracing simple daily habits like prioritizing sleep (50%), eating nourishing meals (49%), and moving in ways that feel good (44%)
  • The gut-brain connection is driving this change, with 77% believing gut health directly affects their emotions and 86% seeing emotional-physical health as connected

NEW YORK — Forget the endless pursuit of the perfect beach body or flawless Instagram selfie. Something big is changing in how Americans think about health and wellness, and it has nothing to do with what you see in the mirror. It’s all about what you feel in your gut. Literally.

A new Talker Research survey reveals that three in four Americans now care more about feeling good on the inside than looking good on the outside. This marks a major break from decades of appearance-focused health culture. We’re not talking about a passing fad: this is Americans completely rethinking what it actually means to be healthy in 2025.

Overall, the nationwide survey of 2,000 adults found that 77% now prioritize what feels good over what makes them look good. These numbers would have seemed unthinkable just a few years ago when juice cleanses and extreme fitness challenges dominated social media. Even more telling, 30% of respondents say they’ve adopted a more mindful approach to health in 2025, paying closer attention to their body’s signals, mental state, and emotional responses.

Your Gut Is The New Fitness Tracker

The survey, commissioned by Metagenics, found that more than a quarter of Americans started taking their inner health seriously just in the past year.

And it’s not just about avoiding an upset stomach — though that’s part of it. For many people, gut health has become their entry point to understanding what their whole body needs. The numbers back it up: 77% believe their gut health directly affects how they feel emotionally, while 86% agree their emotional and physical health are deeply connected.

These connections are driving real changes. Among those who use gut-supporting supplements, 43% say their digestion has improved and 36% feel less bloated. But here’s what’s really surprising: 31% are sleeping better, nearly one in three report having more energy throughout the day, and 27% are in a better mood — all because of a gut supplement.

Small Habits, Big Changes For Wellness

Americans are leaning into what you could call “feel-good” habits: small, daily actions that build better health from the inside out. The most popular include getting enough sleep (50%), eating nourishing meals (49%), and moving their bodies in ways that feel good (44%).

This is a far cry from the punishment-focused fitness culture of the past. Instead of forcing themselves through workouts they hate, more people are choosing movement that brings them joy, whether that’s dancing, stretching, or simply taking a walk. The focus is on sustainability, not suffering.

Other healthy habits catching on include saying “no” to things that drain their energy (38%), spending time with friends and family in person (38%), and getting outside in nature (35%). On average, people are doing five of these “feel-good” things every day.

“These habits aren’t just routine, they’re intentional,” said Gulam Khan, vice president of marketing, North America at Metagenics. “We’re seeing more people take ownership of their health and well-being by investing in daily actions and routines that support how they want to feel physically, mentally and emotionally.”

Breaking Up with Bad Habits

The survey also shows that Americans are getting better at spotting modern lifestyle factors that drain their energy. Taking breaks from screens and social media is now the seventh most popular daily wellness habit, with 32% of respondents doing it regularly.

People are becoming pickier about what they put into their bodies — and minds. The top habits people say they’d like to ditch include mindless snacking while watching TV (28%), staying up late for no real reason (27%), and eating ultra-processed foods (26%).

The Gentle Approach To Wellness

Maybe most importantly, the survey shows Americans are changing how they respond to tough days. Instead of pushing through or beating themselves up, nearly half (45%) say they take a nap or lie down when they’re not feeling their best. Others put on music (30%), go for a walk (29%), or just spend time alone (24%).

This gentler approach to self-care is a huge departure from the “no pain, no gain” mentality that ruled fitness culture for decades. People are figuring out that rest and recovery aren’t signs of weakness, but rather essential parts of staying healthy long-term.

This shift toward gut-focused wellness is happening alongside a rise in health knowledge. More than half (53%) of respondents said they’re confident they could explain how gut health affects the rest of the body without needing to look it up. That knowledge is translating into action: 31% of respondents regularly take a probiotic or supplement to support internal health, and 57% of those who don’t say they’re open to trying it.

Forty-two percent said they’ve discovered a healthy habit that surprised them with how well it worked — a sign this trend is driven by personal experience rather than outside pressure.

It all adds up to a new kind of wellness, one that’s rooted in feeling good instead of chasing impossible standards. As Khan put it: “Ultimately, people are redefining what health means in 2025. It’s no longer about chasing perfection, but about genuinely feeling better for today and into the future. Whether it’s setting boundaries, taking a walk or supporting your gut with a probiotic, people are realizing that lasting wellness starts from the inside out.”


Top 10 Daily Wellness Habits

According to the survey, here’s what holistic health looks like when feeling good comes first:

  1. Prioritizing sleep (50%)
  2. Cooking or eating meals that nourish you (49%)
  3. Moving your body in a way that feels good (44%)
  4. Saying no to things that drain you (38%)
  5. Connecting with friends or loved ones in person (38%)
  6. Spending time in nature (35%)
  7. Taking breaks from screens and social media (32%)
  8. Taking a daily probiotic or supplement (31%)
  9. Prioritizing gut health (28%)
  10. Practicing mindfulness (22%)

Methodology

The survey was conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Metagenics and administered online between June 17–23, 2025, with a nationally representative sample of 2,000 Americans. Respondents participated through opt-in online access panels and programmatic sampling. Responses that failed quality checks were removed, and results have a margin of error calculated at the 95% confidence level. Because the survey was online-only, results may not be generalizable to those without internet access.

Alpert will take over as Georgia Tech’s athletic director before the end of July.

ATLANTA — Georgia Tech has named Ryan Alpert as its next athletic director, choosing a leader known for growing college sports programs and increasing revenue. 

Georgia Tech President Ángel Cabrera stated that the hire reflects the university’s effort to enhance its athletic programs to align with its academic reputation.

“Ryan Alpert is a dynamic, forward-thinking leader who understands what it takes to build a winning culture on a strong financial foundation,” Cabrera said in a statement. “He brings deep operational expertise and a clear passion for student-athlete development. We are thrilled to welcome him to Georgia Tech.”

Alpert currently serves as senior deputy athletics director and chief revenue officer at the University of Tennessee. At Tennessee, he helped the athletic department reach its highest-ever finish in the Learfield Directors’ Cup and win three straight SEC All-Sports Championships.

He also oversaw major revenue growth, with Tennessee Athletics boosting its annual revenue by more than $100 million since 2022. In fiscal year 2024, the department reported a record $228 million in operating revenue and raised nearly $140 million through the Tennessee Fund.

Alpert played a key role in the Neyland Entertainment District project in Knoxville. That initiative is revitalizing the riverfront area near Neyland Stadium and improving the game-day experience for fans.

“I’m incredibly grateful to President Cabrera and the search committee for the opportunity,” Alpert said. “As college athletics continues in a period of rapid transformation, I’m excited about all the Institute has to offer and what we can accomplish together.”

Alpert brings nearly two decades of experience in collegiate athletics. Before Tennessee, he was deputy athletic director at the University of Missouri and Florida Atlantic University, where he led record-setting fundraising campaigns. He also worked at the University of Memphis, helping secure some of the largest gifts in that school’s athletics history.

Originally from Columbia, South Carolina, Alpert earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of South Carolina and a master’s degree from the University of Memphis. He and his wife, Rebecca, have two daughters.

“My family and I can’t wait to get to Atlanta and join the Yellow Jackets,” Alpert exclaimed.

Alpert is expected to begin his new role later this month.

  • Received positive testimonials from fitness professionals and consumers

Insights


Aspire’s BUZZ BOMB launch enters competitive pre-workout market with differentiated delivery technology, but faces established competition despite positive early feedback.

Aspire Biopharma is entering the $28 billion pre-workout supplement market with BUZZ BOMB, leveraging its sublingual nano technology as its key differentiator. The product contains 50mg of caffeine delivered via under-the-tongue powder packets, claiming to provide nearly instant energy compared to traditional pre-workout drinks that require mixing and 20-30 minute activation times.

The company has completed initial production in four flavors (Tropical Fruit, Mixed Berry, Peach Mango, and Mocha Coffee) and plans formal launches at fitness conventions in August where they’ll reach approximately 50,000 potential customers. While the curated testimonials from trainers and users highlight the product’s convenience and rapid onset, these represent a small, company-selected sample rather than broad market validation.

The 5.9% CAGR projected for the pre-workout market indicates healthy sector growth, but Aspire faces entrenched competition from established brands with loyal followings. BUZZ BOMB’s differentiation comes primarily through delivery method rather than formulation innovation—at 50mg caffeine, it contains significantly less caffeine than many competitors (which often range from 150-300mg per serving).

This product represents the first commercial application of Aspire’s patent-pending technology, with management indicating plans for additional consumer products in nutraceutical and supplement categories. The press release positions BUZZ BOMB as both a direct revenue generator and a showcase for potential licensing opportunities with established companies, suggesting a dual commercialization strategy.

While convenient packaging and rapid onset could appeal to certain consumer segments, the product will need to overcome skepticism in a market where consumers often equate effectiveness with ingredient quantity rather than absorption efficiency. The company’s manufacturing and packaging approach reportedly offers competitive pricing with high margin potential, but no specific revenue projections or pricing details are provided.

Aspire’s sublingual delivery technology shows market application potential, but limited scientific validation and competitive differentiation raise questions.

The core technology behind BUZZ BOMB represents an interesting application of sublingual delivery systems to the fitness supplement market. Aspire claims its nano technology enables faster absorption of caffeine directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for quicker onset of effects. While sublingual delivery is established science (used in various medications), the press release provides minimal details about the specific technological innovation or how their “patent-pending” approach differs from existing sublingual delivery systems.

The press release mentions “over a decade of scientific research” behind the formulation but provides no references to clinical studies, bioavailability data, or comparative absorption metrics against traditional delivery methods. This absence of quantifiable performance data is notable in an industry where scientific validation is increasingly important for premium positioning.

From a formulation perspective, BUZZ BOMB appears relatively simple, with caffeine (50mg) as the primary active ingredient. This positions it at the lower end of the caffeine spectrum for pre-workout supplements, which typically contain 150-300mg per serving. The company doesn’t mention other common pre-workout ingredients like amino acids, creatine, beta-alanine, or nitric oxide precursors, suggesting they’re emphasizing delivery technology over comprehensive formulation.

The broader strategy of leveraging this delivery platform for additional nutraceutical and supplement products shows potential for technology application across multiple product categories. However, without more technical details about the proprietary aspects of their sublingual nano technology, it’s difficult to assess how defensible their IP position is or how significant the absorption advantages might be compared to conventional delivery methods.

While the testimonials suggest user satisfaction with onset time, the release lacks quantifiable data on absorption rates, bioavailability improvements, or duration of effect—metrics that would provide investors clearer insight into the technology’s competitive advantages.

ESTERO, FL AND NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 9, 2025 / Aspire Biopharma Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:ASBP) (“Aspire” or the “Company”), developer of a multi-faceted patent-pending supplement delivery technology, today announced positive initial consumer feedback from the Company’s sampling of its sublingual pre-workout supplement, BUZZ BOMB™. Featuring 50mg of caffeine and designed to support sustained energy and mental focus, BUZZ BOMB™ is bringing its unique delivery technology benefits to the multi-billion-dollar pre-workout market to help athletes and fitness enthusiasts maximize their performance potential. Buzz Bomb™ provides nearly instant energy, in easy-to-use small sublingual packets, which can be taken right before and during work out as needed.

Last month, BUZZ BOMB™ began a soft launch of its product line, introducing it to strength trainers, consultants, and fitness professionals. Aspire sees BUZZ BOMB™ as more than just another supplement; it is a science-driven brand focused on understanding nutrition, performance, and the daily needs of athletes and fitness enthusiasts. BUZZ BOMB™ is a pre-workout solution that boosts endurance, energy metabolism, and overall performance, primarily through caffeine, a well-researched ingredient shown to enhance fitness results. Unlike pre-workout products that are mixed with water and taken well before a workout, BUZZ BOMB is sprinkled under the tongue for immediate effect.

Aspire has started initial production of BUZZ BOMB™. The product is packaged in single serving packets for easy on-the-go use. Consumers will have a choice of four BUZZ BOMB™ flavors, including Tropical Fruit, Mixed Berry, Peach Mango, and Mocha Coffee, sold in 30 unit-packs.

“BUZZ BOMB™ is a key first step in our strategy to leverage the full potential of our sublingual nano technology. Our goal is to create a healthy, transformational, next-generation pre-workout brand,” said Michael Howe, Chief Executive Officer of Aspire. “The feedback from our initial product sampling with consumers, as recounted by numerous testimonials, has been very positive and encouraging. We learned that whether you’re hitting the gym, the trail, or just need to show up strong for your day, BUZZ BOMB™ delivers energy very quickly in a convenient easy-to-use single serving packet. We believe this brand has the potential to become a go-to energy supplement for athletes as well as consumers seeking an energy boost that fits their lifestyle requirements.”

Howe added, “We are excited about launching BUZZ BOMB™ at two of the major fitness conventions in early August. Aspire will be an event sponsor at both conferences where over 50,000 people interested in health, fitness optimization, nutrition, and overall well-being will be able to taste, sample, and experience the BUZZ BOMB™ pre-workout supplement.”

Howe concluded, “Aspire plans to follow up the launch of BUZZ BOMB™ with several other consumer products in the nutraceutical and supplement categories. These products have the potential to generate revenue for Aspire while we evaluate licensing opportunities with established companies in these industries.”
