This week I had the chance to experience the Bay Area—and what an incredible part of the country! was a truly inspiring venue to attend my first-ever event.
The collective mission of Project Play is 63x30: to achieve a 63% youth sport participation rate by 2030. Major organizations are backing this initiative, and one of the most impressive efforts I witnessed came from and who are transforming middle schools and public spaces in Oakland. They’re creating safe, accessible environments that foster movement literacy and make physical activity part of everyday life. The efforts coming from the and team inspire confidence to meet shared goals.

I had the pleasure of connecting with some phenomenal people:
Alicia Pelton from , Stacy Bayton, fellow Texan and CEO of the , advocating for brain trauma and concussion awareness.
The entire team from , and .masso , Chief Human Services Officer from the City of Boston, and his colleague !
* Dr. Cindy Chang (NWSL)
* Dr. Holly Silvers-Granneli and Dr. Bert Mandelbaum, renowned FIFA 11+ researchers, who generously shared their time and insights with me over coffee.
I also had the opportunity to briefly meet from the and , Director of Social Impact at .
It was an incredible first experience at the Institute’s Play event. The networking, the energy, and the shared commitment to improving youth sports were truly motivating.
Grateful to our team at —Michael Gold and Dr. Andrew Pearle—for making this possible.
We’re on a mission: to provide open-access, in-season injury prevention and movement training programs—completely free—for organizations serving youth athletes ages 13 and up.
Let’s keep building a better future for youth sports.
