Stories, Not Highlights
culture. cinema. community.
70% of youth athletes quit organized sports by age 13.
Not because they stopped loving the game. Because the system around it lost its way. Rankings over development. Exposure over experience. And if you're not a top recruit, you don't get seen.
We built Wake & Chase Sports to change that.
We create live pop-up sports experiences, bringing professional media and high-energy showcases to tournaments, camps, and events across the country. Not just for the stars. For everyone in the gym. Every athlete. Every family. Every kid who steps on the court or sits in the stands.
We've been on the ground capturing events for PUMA NXTPRO, Jordan Brand, the Basketball Hall of Fame, Team USA Youth Gold Camp, Phil Handy's BYOG Elite, Made Hoops, and the Kyrie Irving Uncle Drew Circuit.
We show up. We bring the energy. And we capture every bit of it.
If you're in the building, you're part of the story.

Resources and Technology
LockedIn is our mental preparation app for youth athletes. Players use it to build focus, confidence, and composure before they compete. Beyond the app, we're developing content and guides for parents navigating youth sports, because supporting the athlete means supporting the people behind them too.
