Sports, Mental Health & the New AI Economy

As the AI economy accelerates disruption across work, identity, and daily life, emotional & mental health will become an even more urgent national need. In sports, comprehensive mental fitness training remains inconsistent & underserved, often limited to a small fraction of elite environments, while recreational & intermediate athletes face mounting stress without structured support.nnCoaches & sports facilities are uniquely positioned to be part of the solution. With credible certification & education in social, emotional, & mental performance, coaches can move from informal mentorship to a clear, teachable framework that strengthens resilience, connection, & sustainable performance for everyone from beginners to high performers. The Inspiring Children Foundation provides a proven model through its Whole Human approach & 10 Pillars, demonstrating that when well being and mental health is built into the culture, burnout and performance anxiety significantly increases and peace of mind and productivity skyrocket.

Limitless Leadership: Practical AI for Club Executives, Directors, and Managers

Everyone has heard of ChatGPT, some have tried it, but many have yet to unlock its true potential, this session changes that. Jeramy brings a unique background in reengineering and optimizing operations across the telecom, healthcare, hospitality, and energy industries, where efficiency and service excellence are non-negotiable. Now, those same principles are being transformed by AI and applied to the real challenges clubs face today: staffing strain, rising member expectations, tighter margins, and the constant pressure to do more with less. Jeramy will be joined by Mali Hall, a Racquet Sports Director who uses AI daily to enhance club operations, offering real-world examples and practical insights. To ensure leaders can confidently apply what they learn, the session will be followed by two post Club Summit follow-up calls designed to reinforce key concepts, answer questions, and help attendees secure and implement the knowledge gained.

Fixing the Game: Corruption in Sport with Tim Donaghy & Declan Hill

In this eye-opening session, Declan Hill, Ph.D. (Oxford), Associate Professor of Investigations at the University of New Haven and internationally recognized expert on match-fixing and organized crime in sport, interviews former NBA referee Tim Donaghy, who served prison time in a betting scandal that shook professional basketball. Together, they will unpack how match-fixing and gambling interests infiltrate sport, revealing how corruption often begins quietly in lower-profile events where oversight is limited and financial pressures create vulnerability. The discussion will examine how organized crime exploits these weak points—and what leaders in racquet sports can do to protect integrity before problems take root,

Athletes & Investors: Why Execution Matters in Padel

Led by Santiago Gomez, this session brings together the athlete and investor perspectives behind Padel Haus. Featuring three Padel Haus shareholders, one a professional athlete-investor alongside a seasoned global investor, the conversation explores why padel is attracting attention and why capital is becoming far more selective. The panel will focus on fundamentals: site selection and real estate constraints, buildout complexity, brand standards, unit economics, and operational execution. This is not a “how to open a club” discussion, it’s a candid look at what it takes to build a scalable platform in a category where execution, not enthusiasm, determines who will survive and scale.
