Abstract
Sports are highly profitable, but when looking at the design of sports buildings, the spectators and owners are the primary user groups, pushing athletes to the side and compromising where they train. As athletic talent continues to better with each generation, the environment in which the athlete trains must be considered as a factor in performance. By shifting the focus of design back onto the athletes, a prosperous environment can be created that improves their wellness and performance. By examining sports performance, how design affects the experience of users and surveying athletes, information can be derived that creates a protocol for athletic training facilities. Using this protocol when designing sports architecture prioritizes the athlete, creating a holistic environment for athletic performance.
