In an exclusive interview with MASTKD, Steve McNally—CEO of USA Taekwondo and Vice President of PATU—laid out his strategic vision on the road to Los Angeles 2028: the United States’ continental role, the effort to build a Pan American coalition, the continued professionalization of high performance, and a “zero-tolerance” approach to athlete protection. McNally also addressed the AAU controversy and the non-disparagement understanding between organizations, drawing a clear political message about governance, culture, and power in modern Taekwondo.
