The Conversations Beneath the Surface
What Happens When the Questions She's Asking Go Beyond the Game?
If you support a female high school athlete, you've likely seen moments when what she's navigating has very little to do with athletic ability.
Confidence. Identity. Pressure. Belonging. Communication. What comes next.
These experiences can shape much more than performance—and knowing how to support an athlete through them isn't always easy.
What She May Be Wondering
01
Do I still belong here?
02
Why has my confidence changed?
03
How do I speak up for myself?
04
Who am I outside of my sport?
That's why the Beyond The Athlete High School Summit was created: to help the adults around female athletes better understand what's happening beneath the surface and create better conversations around it.
What You'll Take Away
More Perspective. Better Conversations. Stronger Support.
This Summit isn't about giving adults another checklist. It's about helping the people around female athletes better understand what may be happening beneath the surface and giving them ideas they can bring back into their homes, teams, schools, and organizations.
01
Understand Confidence Beyond Performance
Explore what happens when an athlete's confidence becomes tied to playing time, statistics, recognition, comparison, or results—and how adults can help broaden that foundation.
02
Support Identity Beyond Sport
Better understand the importance of helping young athletes recognize who they are beyond their athletic role.
03
Encourage Voice & Self-Advocacy
Explore how parents, coaches, and leaders can create environments where female athletes feel more comfortable communicating, asking questions, and advocating for themselves.
04
Develop Leadership
Think differently about leadership and how young women can begin recognizing their influence before they ever receive a title.
05
Prepare for College & Opportunity
Look beyond recruiting alone to think about the realities of college, future opportunities, decision-making, reputation, visibility, and preparation.
06
Help Them Think About What Comes Next
Better prepare athletes for the reality that sport will eventually change—and help them recognize how their experiences and strengths can transfer into whatever comes next.
Who Should Attend
For the People Helping Shape the Female Athlete Experience
The Summit conversations are centered around female high school athletes. The Summit itself is designed for the adults and organizations supporting them.
Parents & Families
For parents who want more perspective on the pressures, transitions, questions, and experiences their daughters may be navigating through sport.
Coaches
For coaches who want to support athletes beyond physical and technical development while strengthening confidence, communication, leadership, resilience, and team culture.
Athletic Directors & School Leaders
For athletic administrators looking for additional resources and conversations around whole-athlete development within their programs.
Educators & Athlete Supporters
For counselors, teachers, mentors, trainers, and other adults helping young athletes develop inside and outside sport.
Clubs, Teams & Athlete Organizations
For organizations committed to creating stronger developmental environments for female athletes.
You don't have to be an expert in athlete development to attend. You simply have to care about how young women experience sport and who they are becoming through it.
Beyond Performance & Recruiting
There Are Important Conversations We Don't Always Make Enough Time For.
Athletic Programs Already Spend Time On
- Performance
- Playing time
- Competition
- Schedules
- Statistics

The Conversations We're Making More Room For
