USA Boxing Partners with Rosetta Stone Ahead of 2024 National Championships

USA Boxing announced a partnership with Rosetta Stone, the world’s leading language-learning brand, on Thursday. The partnership marks a strategic pairing that allows USA Boxing the opportunity to learn various languages among its 65,000+ members, athletes and staff.

USA Boxing has a diverse population among its members and Rosetta Stone presents the opportunity for the organization to further connect with those members through various languages. Additionally, athletes and staff within the USA Boxing organization regularly travel internationally to partake in championships worldwide. Through the partnership with Rosetta Stone, USA Boxing will now be able to expand its reach in communication across cultures.

“USA Boxing strives to present its 65,000+ members the opportunity to develop, both inside and outside the ring,” said USA Boxing CEO/Executive Director Mike McAtee. “We are ecstatic to be able to partner with Rosetta Stone to better communicate with our USA Boxing members and other national federations across the globe. While physical training is a critical component of our sport, it is paramount to provide ourselves, our members and our athletes the opportunity to grow through mental training as well. Partnering with Rosetta Stone allows us to do just that, and we are incredibly excited to achieve that goal while becoming proficient communicators along the way.”

“We are excited to partner with USA Boxing because the best athletes understand the importance of training their minds as vigorously as their bodies,” said Paul Mishkin, CEO of IXL Learning, Rosetta Stone’s parent company. “By using Rosetta Stone, USA Boxing members will become more formidable communicators and global ambassadors for the sport, who are just as impactful outside the ring as they are within it.”

This partnership with Rosetta Stone is finalized at an instrumental time for USA Boxing, as the 2024 USA Boxing National Championships are set to begin in less than a week. The event’s first day of competition kicks off on Monday, Dec. 16, and concludes on Saturday, Dec. 21, inside the Greater Richmond Convention Center in Richmond, Va. The potential to work alongside Rosetta Stone allows USA Boxing to prepare its 2025 High Performance teams, which will be determined following a selection camp upon the conclusion of this year’s national championships, for international competition in 2025.

With the partnership, all USA Boxing members will receive a 15% discount on a subscription within the Rosetta Stone software.
