ATHLETE TESTIMONIALS

Scott Lacy Professional Biathlete "For the first time in my athletic career, I looked at myself as a whole person, beyond the result sheet, beyond the training plan. It ultimately helped me achieve some personal bests in the sport realm. This program puts some groundwork and framework in place for me to approach life after sports, what I want to do with a career, what I want to do with myself." |
Nikita Uberoi
Professional tennis player "I loved how our coach was able to incorporate techniques such as meditation, body awareness, and self-reflection into the program. Also, it's not easy to be vulnerable, but the way in which the program had us interact with each other made me feel safe and able to share my thoughts in a space free of judgment."

Michael Saleme
College football player "I enjoyed this program because it allowed me to connect with myself in ways I have never connected before. My favorite part was the ability to meet other current and former athletes, I found it impactful because all of us are going through or have gone through the same challenges and transitions."

Mina Anglero
College track runner "Through this program, I found a safe space to be vulnerable and grow as a whole. I realized the questions and struggles I have are common for athletes. I felt seen, heard and challenged in my thought process. This program helped me understand that I am more than an athlete."

"What beyond sports means to me is…a place where I could share and learn about my emotional self with other like-minded student athletes. Not only did I visualize a plan of my future with beyond sports, I learned about my emotions and mental habits and how to use those to positively influence my life and others around me. Truly a fantastic experience!" - Caleb Bopp
