“Everything we’ve created is about feeling good, no matter what part of the day it is, no matter what activity you’re doing. I am empowered and inspired every time I hear stories from people saying how this product works for them.”- Rasheen Smith, Founder Flexpower has been helping professional athletes feel good in natural, effective ways since 2000. Founded by South Central Los Angeles native and athlete Rasheen Smith, Flexpower is now focused on helping everyone embrace a brighter, healthier, more active life without pain. Created and sourced in California, our goal is simple: Help everyone feel good. When Flexpower first started, we were focused on delivering a solution for world-class athletes to manage pain and aid in recovery using active, natural ingredients and scent-free, non-toxic formulas. Over the years. we’ve been in the locker rooms and on the training tables of teams across the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, MLS, NCAA, as well as in Euroleagues, English Premiership, and even Olympic training centers. We discovered, though, that our original product was being embraced by people of all ages and lifestyles. People were using it before they went for runs, or worked in their gardens, or went on a hike. So we developed new products - from every day soothing lotions to bath salts - to help everyone feel good, every single day. Whatever moves you, we want to make sure you keep doing it. This is Flexpower. Get moving. Stay Moving.

It officially became Nashville Soccer Club in 2016 when it earned a USL Championship club and as it began its bid to join Major League Soccer. On Dec. 20, 2017, Nashville SC became the 24th organization to be awarded an MLS club. In its inaugural MLS season, Nashville SC defeated expectations by becoming the second MLS expansion side to win and advance to the Conference Semifinals in the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs. Nashville SC will continue its participation in MLS in 2021 playing at Nissan Stadium before moving into its new and permanent stadium in 2022, which will be the largest soccer-specific stadium in the United States.
