This Year In Player Development
I am diving deeper into player development this year and specifically talking about programming and many areas I have found success in while leading player development departments.
I have realized recently while writing my third book, there are areas I haven’t covered in the podcast.
So….
You will get those areas this year leading up to the 2025 Player Development Summit.
Here are the topics I will be covering:
10 Benefits of Player Development
Six Main Areas of Player Development
13 Responsibilities You May Have In Player Development
How to Pitch Player Development to a Coach or Administrator
Five Benefits of A Player Development Plan
How To Create A Player Development Plan
Three Ways You Can Create Effective Alumni Engagement
Five Ways to Build a Mentorship Ecosystem in Your Program
Four Ways to Be Effective As An Academic Liaison
Four Areas Which Create Impact in Your Community
We are in Season 7 of the Player Development Pod and every season I start of by answering the question I am asked the most.
What is Player Development?
At first when I was continually asked this it became a pet peeve but I eventually realized people were becoming more aware of this incredible role and wanted to get more information. (One of the reasons I kept answering this and many other questions and created 72 hours of content.)
I answered this question in the podcast episode, but I added some additional context to it.
I took time to talk about how player development changed my life. You can listen to that story here:
2025 Player Development Summit
