For Tyler Childs, the phrase ‘young at heart’ is all too true. Sports are his life- when he’s not working, he’s playing them. Golf in the summer, curling in the winter, and baseball all in between. He jokes that people say he needs to take it easy and slow down. He laughs it off every time.

“I am told regularly I'm too old for the sports that I play. I tell them I'm part of the youth movement,” says Childs.

As President and CEO of Sport-Travel, Childs’ primary responsibilities are to lead their team while executing on our short and long-term strategic plans.

“Although 'responsibilities' is the right word to describe the tasks and expectations of my role I view them as my privileges and opportunity to make our industry a little stronger each and every day,” Childs says. “I don't believe I am done learning and I take each day as an opportunity to grow and better myself and our team.”

At Sport-Travel, Childs and his team have the opportunity to work with thousands of events and organizations around the globe to create high quality, professionally run events. Taking hundreds of youth teams to exotic and cultural destinations around the world, providing so many athletes with once in a lifetime opportunity to see the world through sport.

Tyler understands that what truly makes the industry what it is today is its people.

He says, “I’ve gotten to know some wonderful industry experts over the years and many have become true friends. It is an industry where you can both compete with and befriend one another. What else could you ask for?”

The people and the decisions they make are also what fascinates Tyler the most in the industry. Seeing how these decisions impact the outcome of a travel experience and the event they’re attending.
