About jmeszaros

Hi, I’m Josh Meszaros, an author to Sports Facility Expert. I grew up around sports facility operations through DNA Sports Center, the training facility founded by my father, Mike Meszaros. Spending years around the business gave me firsthand exposure to the challenges and opportunities sports facility owners face every day. Today, I work with eSoft Planner, helping sports facilities across the country streamline scheduling, improve operations, and create better experiences for their members and customers. Through these partnerships, I regularly connect with facility owners and managers, gaining insights that I share here on Sports Facility Expert.
