Keynote Speaker: Stephanie Kuzydym

We are excited to feature Stephanie Kuzydym as the keynote speaker at AM25! "Stephanie Kuzydym is a sports enterprise and investigative reporter for The Louisville Courier Journal, which is part of the USA TODAY Network. For the last decade, Kuzydym’s reporting largely focused on the health and safety of athletes. In “Safer Sidelines,” a four-part series based on several months of reporting, Kuzydym uncovered the many ways high schools, athletic associations and lawmakers have failed to prepare for the worst-case scenario – sudden death in sports. The project included a first-of-its-kind searchable database of U.S. athlete deaths, as well as a survey and expert assessment of athletic emergency action plans for Kentucky high schools."

Stephanie's session will begin at 9am on Friday, January 31st.
