SESSION SPEAKERS AND DESCRIPTIONS

Keynote Address 1: Student-Athlete Mental Health – Misty Buck. Misty Buck is the founder of PurposeSoul® Athletics, which combines mental wellness and mental performance to help athletes, champions, and high-achievers optimize their inner game. Inspired by her journey with mental health struggles, she is known for blending her proven mental performance system with honest conversations around mental health to help individuals access their fullest potential.  Her acclaimed books include Athlete Mental Health Playbook and Mindset Champion: Winning The Inner Game for Student-Athletes. Misty is also the co-host of the Bailey and Buck Unplugged podcast, which featured candid conversations with celebrities, athletes, and public figures about mental health, success, and struggle.

Keynote Address 2: Who Are You When the Jersey Comes Off? – Jamie Gilmore Jr. Jamie Gilmore Jr is a leadership speaker, educator, former Division I student-athlete, and Founder & CEO of Kut Different Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping young people discover their identity and develop a vision for their future. Known as "Mr. Daily Deposits," Jamie is the creator of the Daily Deposits philosophy, teaching that extraordinary lives are built through the small choices we make every day. Through his work mentoring hundreds of young people and his authentic storytelling, Jamie challenges student-athletes to build their identity on who they are rather than how they perform, encouraging them to answer three life-changing questions: Who am I? Where am I going? What daily deposits am I making to get there? Jamie believes that while sports are something you do, they should never define who you are.

Closing Session: Student-Athlete Panel: Hot Topics.  A roundtable discussion where students from across the state can learn about what’s trending within the Florida High School Athletic Association from the point of view from FHSAA administration and members of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
