Jamie Fox and Teamworks share a profound commitment: empowering service members and the human performance practitioners who support them.
A Unique Perspective: 22 Years and Counting of Dedication to the U.S. Military
Jamie began his journey in the military with four years of dedicated active duty service in the United States Marine Corps. After exiting Active duty, Jamie entered federal civilian service, first serving USMC human performance programs and naturally progressing to a human performance program director role within the Special Operations Command. Jamie has 14 years of government civilian human performance experience and currently serves as a senior enlisted leader for the Marine Corps Reserves.
During his years of federal civilian service, Jamie evolved from a strength and conditioning coach to a human performance director, where he was responsible for leading a multidisciplinary performance team that led research and innovation projects surrounding HP initiatives, which required the use of tech to expand programmatic reach. Reflecting on his experience, Jamie remarked that supporting „the U.S. military’s finest in human performance is an incredibly rewarding challenge.“
After 14 years of civilian government service, Jamie continues to serve in a reserve capacity with the United States Marine Corps. His extensive experience within the tactical community has shown him how technology can enhance training, coaching, and preparing service members for mission success. Jamie emphasized the importance of empathizing with partner needs, stating, “It’s understanding the problem your customers are trying to solve.”
Teamworks continues to invest in growing and serving the needs of the military segment. Anna Resman, the President of Teamworks Tactical, shared:
“Jamie’s deep knowledge and expertise has been instrumental in helping shape our human performance technology, ensuring it delivers premium, sustained value for our DoD customers. We are dedicated to supporting and advancing the operational effectiveness of our armed forces. Jamie embodies our mission to empower and engage service members.”
Tackling the Military’s Complex Challenges While Enhancing Performance and Readiness
Jamie highlights the critical role Teamworks plays in addressing the unique challenges faced by the military in the performance realm. “Human performance in the military is fraught with challenges, from receiving information to managing chaotic schedules and dealing with family stresses. Teamworks products (AMS – formerly Smartabase and Nutrition – formerly Notemeal) really help bridge the gap between practitioners and service members.”
Teamworks’ mission to “engage and empower the athlete” parallels the Department of Defense’s goal to support the service member. Jamie asserts that embracing technology to provide leadership and support personnel with immediate and actionable information will enhance recruiting, retention, readiness, performance, and overall mission success. Jamie found working with an organization dedicated to collaborating with the Government is fulfilling his commitment to service members, as it offers an opportunity to influence how the industry impacts the lives of service members.
Now, on the Teamworks side, working towards a mutual mission continues. “My experience as a Partner was top-notch,” says Jamie. “Technology plays an integral role in supporting warfighter health, longevity and performance. Teamworks actively has a suite of solutions that can drastically improve military processes and the individual warfighter’s performance.”
Immediate and Actionable Insights
Jamie’s philosophy on military tech is that it needs to provide immediate and actionable insights to service members and practitioners so they can make meaningful changes in their behavior and training to improve performance.
„Employing technology means getting the right data at the right time to the right person to make the right decision. Teamworks’ products serve this purpose.“

With substantial experience working with Teamworks as a Partner, Jamie noted, “Teamworks AMS allows a lot of data and information to be aggregated, but the critical aspect is the immediacy and actionability AMS provides to make meaningful changes in behavior and training.”
Expanding Practitioner Reach Through Technology
Jamie acknowledges that the ratio of practitioners to service members is far from ideal.
“You can’t have 500 people lined up outside your office daily, but you can utilize technology as a force multiplier. Technology isn’t designed to replace the practitioner; it’s a vehicle to expand their reach and deliver their information, education, and practice to as many people as possible. It’s just merging the art with the science.”

Beyond just AMS and Nutrition solutions, Jamie sees the potential to embrace the full suite of Teamworks products to improve communication and enhance recruiting and retention across the Department of Defense. The Teamworks product suite, which provides solutions for every stage of the service member lifecycle, can enhance various areas within the tactical community—from recruiting to manpower management to daily care of service members and their families. With proven success in delivering efficiency and value in sport through tech, the opportunities are endless to apply learnings and impact to military needs.
Jamie’s Pro Tip: Use the Teamworks products to capture meaningful data aggregation to show return on investment (ROI). “Use the plethora of information provided by the Teamworks products to show that your program is having an impact.”
The Strategy for Success: Teamworks’ Operating System
“Teamworks is committed to the tactical space. They are making the right investments to be a change-maker in the military,” Jamie concludes.
