A Groundbreaking Approach to Educating the Next Generation of Professional Athletes in Sporting Academies, Schools, and Universities Across All Sports.
Athletes are missing vital skills in social media, brand partnerships, personal branding, hiring friends and family and many other areas.
Athletes feel unprepared for their careers off the field.
Athletes report severe impacts on their mental health.
Most athletes are worried about post-sport careers.
We asked pro athletes, “Why don’t you feel anything is changing?” Turns out, no one had bothered to teach them! Traditional seminars and classes never helped, were uninformed, or simply came too late.
All our submissions are anonymous to protect our partner athletes.
