The Sports Office, LLC
Building the Future of Altitude Performance, Sports Tourism & Alpine Community
The Sports Office (TSO), LLC is a next-generation sports, wellness, hospitality, and destination development company headquartered in Big Bear Lake, California.
Founded by entrepreneur and operator Damien Navarro, TSO was created to reimagine what modern sports and wellness infrastructure can look like when performance, recovery, community, culture, media, and hospitality all operate together under one ecosystem.
Originally formed through the operational turnaround and expansion of the former High Altitude Training Center, TSO now serves as the official operating company behind the newly reimagined:
High Alpine Training Club (HATC)
Located at 6,752 feet in Big Bear Lake, California, HATC serves as TSO’s flagship alpine performance campus — bringing together elite athletes, endurance training, combat sports, recovery, longevity, events, creator culture, hospitality, and community wellness under one roof.
Over the past year, TSO has:
- stabilized and expanded operations at HATC;
- significantly grown memberships and programming;
- launched new recovery, wellness, and athletic experiences;
- secured strategic partnerships and investors;
- expanded destination sports tourism initiatives;
- welcomed national organizations and elite athletes to train in Big Bear;
- and helped position Big Bear as a rising global destination for altitude performance and outdoor culture.
Where Altitude Builds Legends
At its core, The Sports Office exists to build a platform where:
sport, wellness, culture, community, hospitality, and human performance intersect.
TSO believes the future of athletics and wellness is no longer confined to single-use gyms or isolated experiences. The future belongs to integrated campuses and communities that bring people together through movement, elevation, recovery, creativity, and shared purpose.
The company’s long-term mission is simple:
to help establish the San Bernardino Moutnain and destinations abroad,as the global home of altitude performance while building a sustainable ecosystem that benefits athletes, visitors, creators, local businesses, and the broader mountain community alike.
Why Mountain Training Matters
Elevate Performance with Big Bear & San Bernardino
The San Bernardino Mountains sit just 2–2.5 hours from greater Los Angeles, yet rise to elevations exceeding 6,700 feet in Big Bear Valley, offering a rare combination of true altitude, accessibility, and year-round usability. The region hosts millions of visitors annually, supports winter and summer sports ecosystems, and serves as one of Southern California’s most important outdoor recreation and training destinations
