What if our community right here in Winter Park and across Central Florida could ensure that every child not only wants to play and has the opportunity to play, but also thrives in their mental health as they do? Join the Winter Park Health Foundation for an inspiring conversation with national thought leader and Emmy Award–winning former ESPN journalist Tom Farrey, now Executive Director of the Aspen Institute’s Project Play and author of Game On: The All-American Race to Make Champions of Our Children. In Game On, Farrey explores how the culture of youth sports shapes children’s physical development, mental health, identity, and sense of belonging. Drawing from his book and Project Play’s national data—along with insights relevant to the realities of youth sports in Florida—Farrey will unpack how playing (and staying) in sports builds confidence, resilience, and community connection well into adulthood. Together, we’ll look beyond the scoreboard to consider how coaches, parents, schools, and local partners can reimagine youth sports in Winter Park and the Greater Orlando area as a powerful driver of health, access, and long-term success for every child. Who Should Attend: Parents • Coaches • Educators • Healthcare Providers • Youth Organization Leaders • Community Advocates!
** Youth Reflection & Wellness Activities: While parents attend the conversation with Tom, youth participants are invited to take part in facilitated mental health–focused activities and reflections led by counselors from WPHF’s CHILL program.
