Happy New Year.

Thank you for being subscribed to the Player Development Newsletter. I truly appreciate you being here and continuing this player development journey with me as we head into 2026. I’m excited for what this year has in store and for the conversations, growth, and impact ahead.

I’m excited to officially share that the 2026 Player Development Summit dates have been released.

📍 2026 Player Development Summit
🗓 May 29–30, 2026

The Player Development Summit brings together professionals who are focused on impacting the lives of athletes beyond the field. This two-day experience is designed for those who care deeply about development, connection, and creating environments where athletes can thrive on and off the field.

If you’d like to join us, you can register by clicking the link here. I would absolutely love to have you be a part of the 2026 Summit experience.

One more thing I want to share. I’ve realized that many of you may not be familiar with the Player Development Pod, my podcast dedicated entirely to player development. On the podcast, I sit down with professionals from across sports and higher education to talk real experiences, lessons learned, and what it truly looks like to support athletes in meaningful ways.

You can find the Player Development Pod on:
• YouTube
• Apple Podcasts
• Spotify

As always, thank you for being part of this community. I’m genuinely excited about 2026 and hope to see you at the 2026 Player Development Summit.

Here’s to a great year ahead.
