Athletic Business' 10 Highlights from 2014

Michael Gaio Headshot

Excuse me while I catch my breath. It’s been a busy year around here. And I’m sure you can relate. If you’re in this industry — whether it’s athletics, fitness or recreation — “busy” is a way of life. Hopefully you’ll get a chance for some well-deserved R&R this holiday season.

Speaking of the holiday season, with the year winding down, we thought this would be a good time to reflect on some our highlights from 2014. And we thank you, our dutiful readers, for making it all possible.

Here are 10 highlights from the year that was, presented in chronological order.

10.  AB Launches Redesigned Website
Just in time for 2014, we launched the revamped athleticbusiness.com. It looks better and you can read it on your smartphone without getting frustrated. Hooray! Stay tuned for continued improvements in 2015.

9. AB Goes All-Access at Cybex’s Manufacturing Facility
February temperatures falling to -20 didn’t stop AB’s team from getting fired up over our visit to Cybex’s facility in Owatonna, Minn. The sophistication and consistency in their manufacturing process was a sight to behold and luckily for you, we made this video so you can tour the facility for yourself.



8. Facility Madness Crowns a Champion
Our NCAA Tournament-inspired contest to find our readers’ favorite college basketball arena went viral.  More than 50,000 votes later, Nebraska’s sparkling new home, Pinnacle Bank Arena, was named the winner.
