WELCOME TO YOUTHCON TOUR™
Build Confidence. Take Ownership. Lead Your Future.
THIS IS NOT ANOTHER ASSEMBLY. THIS IS NOT ANOTHER LECTURE.
YouthCon Tour™ is a live, full-day leadership experience where students don't just sit and listen — they speak, lead, compete, grow, and leave with skills they'll actually use.
Built by Coach Matt Adkins — Zig Ziglar Certified Speaker, author of The Focused Teen, and a guy who was voted Most Shy in his class — YouthCon exists because most schools teach students what to know, but nobody teaches them how to show up.
WHAT HAPPENS AT YOUTHCON
The day is hands-on from the moment students walk in.
They'll work through four sessions covering focus, communication, leadership, and execution — not as concepts, but as skills they practice in the room. Every session includes activities, group challenges, and workbook exercises they take home.
The day ends with the Courage Challenge™ — the signature YouthCon experience where students step forward, use their voice, and do the thing that feels uncomfortable. Because that's where confidence actually gets built.
Students who complete the full experience graduate as a Certified Future Leader™ (CFL) — recognized in a closing ceremony with certificates, photos, and celebration.
WHAT STUDENTS WALK AWAY WITH
Every student leaves with:
📘 The Focused Teen Leadership Workbook™ — a full guided workbook with exercises, challenges, and action tools they can keep using after the event.
🎓 Their Certified Future Leader™ certificate — official recognition of what they built that day.
💪 Real confidence — not the kind you talk about, the kind you build by doing.
WHO THIS IS FOR : 6th-12th Grade
The quiet student who has never been given a room where their voice was expected.
The capable student who keeps shrinking back when it matters.
The athlete, the creator, the homeschool student, the future entrepreneur — anyone who is ready to grow but needs the right environment to do it.
Every personality type belongs here. The loudest student and the quietest student in the room will both leave different.

ABOUT COACH MATT ADKINS
Matt was voted Most Shy in his class.
He knows what it feels like to have something inside of you and not know how to get it out. He knows what it costs to stay quiet for too long.
One experience at 16 changed how he saw himself — and that shift changed everything.
Today he is a Zig Ziglar Certified Speaker and Coach — selected as one of only 12 representatives from more than 50,000 applicants worldwide — author of The Focused Teen, and a youth leadership communicator featured on ABC, NBC, FOX, and Business Insider.
His leadership principles have been taught inside organizations connected to Coca-Cola, AT&T, Dell, American Airlines, and Mary Kay. He has led teams of more than 150 people across business, nonprofit, and ministry environments and spent years as an Executive Next Gen Pastor developing students.
YouthCon is the room he never had. He built it for your teen.
WHY PARENTS TRUST YOUTHCON
Because it's structured, safe, and built specifically for students — not adapted from an adult conference.
Because Coach Matt has spent years in rooms with teenagers and knows how to reach them without losing them.
And because the environment matters as much as the content. Students won't grow in a room where trying feels risky. YouthCon is built to be the kind of room where courage is expected and growth is celebrated.
Spots are limited. This is an intentional, small-group experience — every student in the room will be seen.
Reserve your spot today.
