About the Summit

The biggest virtual basketball performance event of the year — now on-demand.

The Hoop Summit was a one-day virtual event held on August 29, 2026, bringing together the people who train, rehab, and develop the best basketball players on the planet. Across five deep-dive sessions, they covered the conversations that actually move the needle — from returning elite players to the floor, to managing the tendons that make or break a season, to closing the gap between what happens in the weight room and what shows up on the court. Every session was recorded, and all five are now available on-demand inside the Applied Performance Academy.

This year went beyond X's and O's. Alongside the training and clinical work, the Summit dug into the honest, insider side of the profession most events skip entirely — how this field is changing, and how to grow your own place in it. Whether you're a strength coach, physical therapist, athletic trainer, or sport scientist, you'll walk away with tools you can use Monday and a clearer picture of where the game is headed.
