I left the pool years ago — but sometimes it feels like I never really got out.

High standards, constant pressure, guilt around rest… I carried it ALLLL with me.

If your sport gave you both strength and struggle, this one’s for you.

“i already know how to win” COOL ME TOO!

you don’t need a coach because you don’t know how to win, you need one because life after sports is a *completely* different game

‼️but we are here to help‼️

Beyond the Athlete coaches former athletes as they navigate the transition from competitive athlete to ADULTING 🤝🏼 DM if you’re curious about what that looks like!

How long did it take you to feel *great* at your sport?!

I bet it didn’t happen in 2 weeks 👀

So why do we expect life after sports to feel *right* instantly??

Success after sports still takes:
‼️routine
🔐structure
🔋support

Let’s stop expecting instant answers and start rebuilding the foundation that got you here in the first place 🤝🏼

DM ‘athlete’ if you need help getting started!

While you may not have realized it as an athlete, practice was a boundary you kept with other people and with yourself.

Unfortunately many struggle after sports ends when it comes to prioritizing themselves. The thing is, no one will prioritize you but YOU!

Which one of these sounds most familiar?

Still riding the high from an incredible few days at the NIRSA convention!

Last week, we had our first ever booth at the expo for Beyond the Athlete and wow - what a wild and rewarding ride. Being a start up company next to big names like PELOTON (!!!), we definitely pushed ourselves out of our comfort zone !

From meeting passionate professionals and student leaders to connected with fellow former athletes who get it, every convo reminded us of WHY we do this work 🚀

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, shared their stories, and showed their love for the mission — we’re so pumped for what’s next!!

Beyond the Athlete is here to change the game for life after sports. And this was just one step in the beginning 🔥

2 years after I retired from soccer and graduated college, I still didn’t know WHAT I was doing with my life.

My workout routine was so inconsistent.

I was 2 years into a job I knew I couldn’t do for 40 more years.

l ate out 50% of the time or more.

And my clothes started fitting me differently (goodbye soccer thighs lol).

For a long time I blamed myself for being “lazy,” “unmotivated” or “not as strong as l used to be.”

Thankfully 4 years later I now can see that I simply was struggling with losing a part of my life that had fought so much of my happiness... and no one had prepared me!!!

If you’re struggling as an ex athlete please know it doesn’t have to stay that way.

There IS a light at the tunnel and there IS a way to apply what you learned as an athlete into your life now.

You’re here because you’ve spent a HUGE part of your life as an athlete, and while you love that part of yourself, you’ve probably noticed how little your sport actually prepared you for what comes after it ends.

And now you’re feeling out of place.

Being an athlete shapes everything: your values, your routine, your mindset, your friendships, even your goals.

And yet, when the whistle blows for the last time, there’s often a gaping hole left behind. What now?

This guide is for competitive athletes navigating life beyond the game. Whether you’re:

🥏An athlete in the final years of competing who has no choice but to think about what’s next…

🥏Recently injured, stuck in PT, with all the downtime to overthink the future…

🥏Newly graduated, now working a 9-to-5 job and wondering, is this really it?…

🥏Or 5+ years into your post-athletic journey, thinking, “nobody gets me the way my teammates used to…”

This guide is for you…. and also- I AM you….

Comment “GUIDE” to keep reading. 🤪
