A Look Back at Where We've Been...and What We've Built
Since it's first virtual gathering in 2022, the Youth Athlete Summit has brought together athletes, families, coaches, educators and professionals for conversations designed to support the whole athlete.
Each Summit has explored different sides of the athlete experience -- from the things people see on the field to the challenges, opportunities, and decisions that happen behind the scenes.
2026 Youth Athlete Summit
Stronger on Every Side
Our 2026 Summit explored the people, experiences, and resources that often don't get enough attention in an athlete's journey.
Sessions covered wellness strategies, impact and identity, philanthropy, NIL, transitioning from sports to entrepreneurship, college pathways, and continuing education and competition abroad.
2025 Youth Athlete Summit
Elevate the Unseen
The 2025 Summit continued the conversation around the development of athletes from building financial literacy and understanding the unique challenges faced by Gen Z athletes to navigating NIL opportunities and prioritizing mental health and self-care. Every session was a step toward equipping attendees with the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to thrive as athletes and as individuals.
2022 Youth Athlete Summit
The inaugural Youth Athlete Summit established the foundation for what would become an ongoing conversation about athlete development beyond the game. What began as an idea to create greater access to information and resources for student-athletes became a virtual gathering connecting athletes and the professionals invested in their growth.
The Conversation Continues
Every Summit builds on the one before it.
As the sports landscape continues to change, so do the questions athletes and their support systems have to navigate. The Youth Athlete Summit continues to create space for those conversations bringing together people with the knowledge, experience, and resources to help athletes become stronger on every side.
