LakePoint Sports will host the 2024 National Youth Sports Summit on October 8 with a variety of speakers who will address topics shaping the $39 billion travel and youth sports industry through a variety of panels and discussions.
The summit will feature a presentation honoring former softball star Jennie Finch, recipient of the 2024 LakePoint Sports Impact Award. The award recognizes an individual or organization significantly contributing to the growth and development of the travel and youth sports industry.
Finch, a former collegiate and professional softball player, led Arizona to a Women’s College World Series victory in 2001 and later played a pivotal role in the U.S. softball team’s gold medal at the 2004 Olympic Summer Games, along with a silver medal in 2008.
“We are honored to present the 2024 LakePoint Sports Impact Award to Jennie Finch, a true trailblazer in the world of softball, women’s sports, and an inspiration to athletes everywhere,” said Greg Barckhoff, executive vice president of partnerships & marketing at LakePoint Sports. “Her achievements both on and off the field embody the spirit of leadership, commitment, and impact.”
The summit will include panels on the state of the youth sports industry and more. Additionally, NBA and Georgia Tech star Dennis Scott will be featured in a special one-on-one interview to get his perspective on youth sports from his own career and his current experience as a parent of two travel athletes.
