Road to the 2026 Player Development Summit | Insight, Speaker Spotlight, and Attendee Reflection
As we prepare for the 2026 Player Development Summit in Detroit, Michigan on May 29 and May 30, this episode gives you a deeper look into what the Summit is really about.
In this episode, you will hear three important perspectives that help bring the Player Development Summit experience to life.
First, a Summit insight that explains the purpose behind the event and why this space exists for professionals who support athletes.
Next, a speaker spotlight from the 2025 Player Development Summit featuring Savannah Bailey, Senior Director of Player Relations at the University of Florida and founder of Gator Made. In this conversation, Savannah shares powerful thoughts on curiosity, leadership, creativity, and what it means to develop athletes beyond the game.
Finally, you will hear a reflection from Sensei Kenny Francis, Assistant Athletic Director for Student Athlete Formation and Success at Boston College, who shares his experience attending the Summit and why the event continues to grow as a meaningful space for athlete development professionals across sport.
This episode also includes an invitation for organizations and companies interested in becoming strategic sponsors for the 2026 Player Development Summit. Sponsorship plays a major role in creating the experience, supporting attendees, and expanding the impact of player development across sport.
If you are a leader, company, or organization that serves athletes, athletic departments, or the professionals who support them, this may be a space you want to be part of.
Learn more about the Summit, sponsorship opportunities, speaking interest, and event updates through the links in the show notes.
The 2026 Player Development Summit will take place in Detroit, Michigan on May 29 and May 30.
