About Us

A 501(c)3 non-profit founded by former athletes

Founded and operated by former athletes, Athletes Soul is committed to giving back to the athletic community by investing their time and energy in establishing a dedicated and professional nonprofit organization focused on athletic retirement.

Athletes Soul serves as a support system for retiring athletes. Our mission is to support athletes as they transition away from sports, raise awareness about the challenges of athletic retirement, and empower athletes to develop beyond sports.

We support athletes before, during, and after their transition with educational resources, mentorship, transition and career coaching, and networking opportunities.
