Our Events

We host regular events to connect athletes and former athletes within our community.

Our monthly huddles are hosted on Zoom the first Friday of every month. These group coaching sessions are an hour long and facilitated by our coaches and/or partners. Each session focuses on a wellness or career support theme.

We occasionally host in-person events. For example, we hosted our first Athletes Soul House event during the Paris 2024 Olympics (pictured here!).
