GameBreaker’s Mike Juels Addresses Youth Sports Leaders at LeagueApps Next Up Convention

GameBreaker Founder, and CEO, Mike Juels recently took the stage at the LeagueApps Next Up Convention, joining some of the most influential voices in sports technology, league operations, and youth athletics leadership.

Speaking before an audience of innovators, organizers, and decision-makers shaping the future of youth sports, Juels delivered a timely presentation focused on one of the industry’s most pressing topics: risk management, compliance, and athlete safety.

As participation in youth sports continues to grow nationwide, leagues and organizations face increasing responsibility to protect athletes while maintaining operational excellence. Juels emphasized that safety is no longer optional—it is a core component of sustainable league management. His session explored emerging compliance risks, evolving safety expectations from parents and governing bodies, and practical strategies organizations can implement today to better safeguard athletes.

Drawing on more than a decade of experience developing protective equipment and working directly with leagues across the country, Juels highlighted how proactive safety planning not only reduces risk exposure but also strengthens trust between organizations, families, and communities.

The conversation resonated strongly with attendees, reinforcing a shared industry mission: building safer environments where athletes can compete, grow, and thrive.
