  • The Next Level Sports Parent Summit is all about helping sports parents gain the knowledge and tools they need to support their athlete’s growth and development both on and off the field or court.

    We’ll cover everything from mastering the mental game, building relationships with coaches, and navigating travel sports to understanding the college recruitment process, elite athlete nutrition, and the rules around name, image and likeness (NIL) for college-bound athletes.

  • If you’re curious about what it takes to reach the highest level of sports for your athlete, this event is for you! We’ll be specifically sharing behind-the-scenes insights, knowledge and strategies for sports parents to help their athlete reach the next level and navigate their athlete’s sports career with confidence. The content will include strategies for parents of youth athletes, as well as information for parents of college-bound athletes and all of the ages and levels in between.

  • The main portion of the summit runs from June 27-29, 2023. You’ll also be able to join our private Facebook community as soon as you register, so you can join in right away!

  • While most of the presentations for the summit are pre-recorded, there are some live elements, and the pre-recorded presentations are only available for the three days of the summit with your free ticket. So, we encourage you to attend during the summit dates if you can! We would love for you to set aside some time during the summit week to watch the pre-recorded presentations and participate with others who are ready to elevate their athlete’s game to the next level.

    However, if you’re not able to watch the presentations during the summit, go ahead and grab your free ticket, and you’ll have the opportunity to upgrade to the VIP All Access Pass for extended access and special bonus offers from our speakers.

  • Your free ticket includes 72-hour access to all of the presentations. If you need more time, you can always upgrade your ticket to the VIP All Access Pass after registering, which will give you extended access to the presentations along with premium bonuses from our speakers and more!

  • To avoid tech glitches, give you the best possible experience, and keep things easy for the speakers, the presentations are pre-recorded and will be released during the 3 days of the summit. However, the speakers will be hanging out in our private Facebook group with dedicated threads where you can connect with them and ask your questions! There will also be opportunities to join us for bonus live events throughout the week.

  • No. When you register, you’ll be added to the Next Level Athletes email list so we can send you updates for the event and links to each day’s presentations. After the summit is over, you’ll continue to hear from us, but you can unsubscribe at any time.

    Each of the speakers will have free resources available that you can access by providing an email address, but the speakers will not get your email address unless you choose to give it to them specifically. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don't have to worry about getting added to 20 email lists that you're not interested in.

  • If you still have questions, we encourage you to go ahead and sign up. Your questions will likely be answered during the event or in the Facebook community, which you’ll be able to join right away after grabbing your free ticket.

    However, if you need to ask us a question before registering, feel free to send us an email at hello@nextlevel-athletes.com
