TACKLE WHAT'S NEXT VIRTUAL SUMMIT SERIES
Relive the first event of our new summit series. This will be a three-part series with summits in April, July and October 2021.
Our first summit in April covers athlete identity, mindset and mental health.
Who are you outside of your sport? At our first summit, we spoke about identifying your strengths, interests, skills and purpose. Learn about the important overlap between mindset and identity. Hear from current and former athletes and executives on what you can do today to make positive steps towards your future.
Understand the importance of talking about and de-stigmatizing mental health for athletes. Hear from athletes who have been open about sharing their struggles and stories, and organizations and resources available to help.
Learn how sports has uniquely prepared you for what's next.
