History of RSG!

Southern California Committee for the Olympic Games (SCCOG) is a 501(c)(3) organization that was originally founded in 1939 to bid for opportunities to host the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. In order to invest in the Olympic legacy of Southern California – which boasts the largest population of Olympic and Paralympic athletes in the world – SCCOG created the Ready, Set, Gold! program in 2006 with the mission of promoting healthy lifestyles and inspiring, motivating, and educating students about health and fitness as lifelong goals.
During the school year, RSG! athletes conduct five visits to their school, sharing their Olympic or Paralympic story and how it shaped them into the champion they are today. The athletes coach students on the different components of the FitnessGram along with growth mindset topics such as goal-setting, perseverance, and resilience – skills that helped them become world-class athletes.
Ready, Set, Gold! remains the only program of its kind in the country and is scalable and replicable. The program is endorsed by the Los Angeles City Council, LAUSD and LA 2028, and operates under the auspices of the Southern California Committee for the Olympic Games.
