Sports Research

Jeff Pedersen was a promising athlete ready for the big leagues. He attended Fermin Lasuen High School in San Pedro where he earned 9 varsity letters and held numerous records. He was voted Athlete of the Year in 1968 and was a high round draft pick by the Chicago Cubs, but he chose a USC baseball scholarship instead. At USC, he was the first player in NCAA college history to start on three straight National Championship baseball teams, serving as team captain in 1972, and was selected to represent USC in the Pan American Games.

Jeff had a pretty incredible career, but ultimately an injury placed Jeff onto to a different path in life where he became a fitness educator and product inventor, and he is now the owner of Sports Research and creator of Sweet Sweat. At the time Jeff did not realize this one of a kind product would lead to the development of a company.

Jeff developed Sweet Sweat in the late 1970s for his 500-member athletic club to help enhance and accelerate their workout programs. Although it took almost four years of daily physical testing on himself as well as his club members to get the product right, the results were so impressive and immediate that friends of the members were asking if they could also use Sweet Sweat. A decision was then made to put this “one of a kind” fitness product on the market in 1980. Present day Sports Research carries over forty skus, and Sweet Sweat has now mushroomed to being exported to 53 countries around the world and is used by amateur and professional athletes in bodybuilding, boxing, football, mixed martial arts, track and field, and other sports to substantially improve circulation, energy, and sweating.

A “hands-on” family owned company of athletes and health and fitness advocates, Sports Research has achieved an impeccable reputation worldwide in the fitness and wellness community. So as an accomplished athlete and businessman, we wanted to ask Jeff some questions about his company to glean some lessons, and learn more about the products that he offers.

Jeff, What were some of the unexpected hurdles you encountered getting started?

Word of mouth promoted the product sales. It was simply about spreading the word to other cities and states. The real challenge was trying to get National Distribution and bring Sweet Sweat to all the athletes and fitness people nationally and globally.

What were some of the unexpected benefits?

It’s a great honor seeing professional athletes worldwide use our products on a continual basis.

What has been the most exciting part of your process?

The most exciting part of my process is having all 6 of my children asking to be involved in my company. It’s a privilege to be able to work so incredibly hard and to share both the good and bad times with my family. We push each other to take our products and company to the next level.

What has your experience in Sports Research Corp taught you?

Persistence is a must. It took 4 years to create his one of a kind fitness product “Sweet Sweat.” He still continues to research and test each product no matter how long it takes to make it work and repeat in sales.

What is your favorite story from your experience?

In 35 years, literally having thousands of people say how our products have changed their fitness lives.

What should everyone should know about the Sports Research Corp?

1. Demonstrated.
2. That have that “wow” factor.
3. That are easy to use.
4. That are priced right.
5. And the products repeat in sales.

If you could change one thing in the fitness landscape, what would it be?

Getting rid of the fake products.

Jeff Pedersen, looking back on your life, is this where you thought you would be?

Because of God’s blessings, yes.

Thanks for the insight, Jeff.
