Schedule

02/3/2025 / @7:00PM EST. - "Smashed," with Todd Ley

Speakers -Todd Ley

Once the world’s top Junior tennis player at just 12 years of age, the youngest athlete ever signed by IMG and an inmate at a renowned international tennis academy has been making a racket in the tennis scene since he was a toddler.

 

In his book SMASHED: Tennis prodigies, parents and parasites, Todd exposes not just the experience of elite child athletes, but also the devastating ramifications it can lead to in adulthood.

 

From a youth in the sporting prodigy spotlight to family collapse, bankruptcy, alcoholism, and mental health struggles, Todd has recognized a disturbing pattern among other young athletes who fall short of glory. However, Todd’s lived experience of being broken into a thousand pieces has also given him the chance to reassemble himself into something new.

 

Todd is raw, real and not a huge fan of fake so he’s able to channel his hard-earned wisdom into delivering unflinching truths about the sport of tennis, and the truths that define us all.
