With several major global sport events on the horizon, we don’t want to miss what a pivotal moment it is for youth sport too. We have a unique opportunity to harness all of this energy, momentum and excitement to create the future of youth sport. But how? That’s the conversation we’ll be diving into at SXSW 2026 at the panel “From Moment to MOVEment: Reimagining Youth Sport for Impact.” At Nike we know how transformative sport can be for youth and we’re honored to be presenting this panel at SXSW 2026. I’m personally looking forward to moderating the conversation with leaders who are fueling cross-sector collaboration and coalitions and, most importantly, unlocking the potential of all youth across the U.S. I’ll be joined by:  Jeremiah E. Brown Brown, former NFL athlete and Sport for Impact x Players Coalition advocate Bethanne Devine, Executive Director, Philadelphia Youth Sports Collaborative Pharlone C. Toussaint, Sr. Director of External Affairs, Center for Healing and Justice through Sport, and Matt Geschke, my Nike teammate leading Social & Community Impact in the Americas Join us on March 16th at 11:30 a.m. CT, followed by a post-panel reception. I hope to see you there! https://lnkd.in/enyZA6As
