WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – Junior Tyler Carlstrom (Rocky Hill, Conn.) of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) baseball team has been selected to participate in the upcoming 2026 Career in Sports Forum, which is set to be put on by the NCAA and its leadership development office May 27-30 in Indianapolis, Ind.

The Career in Sports Forum is an annual educational program that brings together 200 selected NCAA student-athletes to learn about and explore potential careers in sports, particularly college athletics. This unique three-day forum helps student-athletes chart their career paths as they network with and learn from current athletics professionals.  This three-day program is designed to help student-athletes explore career paths in college athletics and across the sports industry.

The forum allows attendees to network with peers and decision-makers at the campus, conference and national levels of college athletics. Content is designed to meet the following program objectives:

  • Educate learners on how personal strengths intersect with career opportunities
  • Provide learners with tangible experiences that will support their aspirations for a career in sports
  • Explore professional and career development strategies to help with the transition to a career in the sports industry
  • Introduce the roles of intercollegiate coach, athletics administrator and national governing body staff member

Notable speakers cover a range of topics to help attendees prepare for success as they navigate their futures, including self-awareness and its role in professional development, practical approaches to the sports job search, personal branding, developing a career plan and managing yourself as a professional in the sports industry. Through panels, engaging breakout discussions, keynote presentations and facilitated dialogues, learners leave with a clearer understanding of athletics as a career path and where they may fit within the industry.

The diverse lineup of student-athletes who will participate, represent colleges and universities from all three divisions, numerous academic majors and many sports. The NCAA covers all costs associated with travel, lodging, meals and program materials.
