What’s The Next Move?
The Next Move is a biweekly briefing on the shifts reshaping sports, tech, and innovation — built to deliver sharp, actionable insight for leaders shaping what’s next.
It's grounded in real perspective - from advising teams, sitting with league officials, partnering with university systems, and mentoring founders navigating the gap between strategy and implementation.
And in every one of those rooms, the same question keeps coming up: What are we really building toward?
I’ve advised across the spectrum — from MLB organizations to early-stage tech accelerators, from civic partnerships to private capital. And I’ve helped align strategy at every level — from grassroots to governing body.
And here's what I've seen be consistently true:
Insight gets buried in jargon.
Strategy gets lost in translation.
Innovation gets disconnected from real impact.
Each edition will be short, sharp, and actionable. The lens we use when advising clients, built around doing things that are new, different, and more effective for next-level results.
The Next Move is a preview of how we think, how we build, and how we support partners in getting aligned around the future they want to lead.
What You Can Expect
Each edition will follow a three-part structure for clarity and action:
The Shift → What’s changing that's worth paying attention to
The Gap → What's being missed, misunderstood, or unspoken
The Move → What to do with it (framework or recommendation to act on)
Part-editorial, part playbook - pulling from conversations, industry reports, and strategic advisory work we do through HTX Sports Tech.
Who It's For
The Next Move is built for leaders shaping systems:
Investors looking for signal through the noise
Sports execs & operators aligning platforms and performance
