Leadership
The Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance is designed to integrate deep scientific knowledge with the thoughtful inclusion of diverse voices to create meaningful change.
Our National Leadership Council has developed and leads a worldwide network in realizing the Alliance’s vision. The Council is composed of faculty leaders from our founding partner institutions, both public and private, who are dedicated to propelling our team of teams to success. Scott Delp, PhD, is the Chair of the Council.
The Council is guided by a Science Advisory Council and a Sports Advisory Council that bring together different perspectives, reflecting the many areas touched by this endeavor.
