For Nick Hays, Sports World isn’t just about selling gear, it’s about building lasting relationships and giving back to the people who make youth sports and school programs thrive. He’s seen firsthand the countless hours that coaches, volunteers, and families dedicate to making these programs a success, and believes their contributions deserve far more recognition.
Nick’s passion for sports runs deep. He and his wife, Brandy, both grew up playing sports and have passed that love down to their three children—Brody, Cooper, and Hadley—who are all involved in local athletic programs. Over the years, Nick has met many incredible people through sports, forming connections that have lasted well beyond the playing field. As a small business owner in Lebanon, he believes in treating every transaction as a partnership rather than just a deal, with a focus on strengthening the bonds that make the town so special.
Nick and Brandy moved to Lebanon after they got married, and it was here where Nick’s career at Sports World took off. Having worked in every facet of the business for 18 years, it was a natural progression for Nick to take over when his father-in-law decided to sell.
Sports World has been a family-owned business since 1990, and Nick continues that legacy with pride, always aiming to give back to the community that has supported him and his family.
