The Academy was founded in 1972 to meet the ever-changing needs and demands of sports and society in America. There was a growing awareness of a need for an organization to serve as a resource to provide instruction, research, and service to the world of sport. This need was brought into stark relief by two key events at that time. The first of these was the publishing of the landmark Blythe-Mueller Report that demonstrated the correlation between the professional preparation of coaches and the number and severity of injuries sustained by their athletes. In a word, untrained coaches hurt their athletes.

Additionally, the poor performance of the United States Olympic Team in 1972 in Munich highlighted a need for a new approach to the profession. Combined they became the impetus that launched the formation of the Academy. From its inception, the Academy has focused on developing sport-specific programs of study and employing a combination of educational delivery modes. These include traditional on-campus course work, a unique mentorship program, continuing education (CE), and distance learning.
