Athlete career transition services

write your next chapter.

let us help you create the life you want

Every high level athlete deserves to transition smoothly into a new career. Doing it alone can be challenging. We have created athlete career transition services to give you the support you need. Our 5 Stage Athlete Career Transition Pathway (online course), Certified Coaching Services and Transitioning Athlete Network help transitioning athletes move towards an ‘Impossible Future.’ You’ll develop a clear path to what once seemed unachievable. (Visitors from our Life After Hockey page: since starting our program servicing hockey players, we now support athletes from all pro/high performance sports.)

"Nate's athlete transition program is very important. It has the potential to help a lot of athletes and their families. If you are not sure what's next for you in your career I highly recommend you join the program."

Online Course - By athletes, for athletes

5 Stage Athlete Career Transition Pathway

Our athlete career transition services start with this 5 Stage online course. Set yourself on a path for success in your transition. We’ve made this course available  to suit every learner and budget. Complete it in a month or bring it wherever your path takes you over a longer transition. We’ve removed the financial barrier to learning. Learn more…

stage 1

Identity Reflection
For many of us, our identity gets wrapped up in our sport. "I am a hockey player. I am a soccer player." It's time to move forward.

stage 2

Unleash Your Superpowers
Your experiences, gifts, relationships, education, and lessons learned through sport combine to create 1 unique individual.

stage 3

Find Your Sweet Spot
We’ve spent time in the course focusing on what we WANT in life.  Sorting out what we DON’T WANT can drive great results.

stage 4

Financial Literacy
Earning a living is one thing. Having a great financial plan is another. We learn questions to ask & what a professional plan can do.

stage 5

Execution Time
Deciding the kind of life you want for yourself starts with how you show up as a person. What will you create next?

"For me and for a lot of players, the hockey career is much shorter than the one that follows it. My advice is to slow down and make good decisions for the long-term. Although you may feel like you are scrambling to catch up, there are still so many years ahead."
Dave Trofimenkoff - New York Rangers Draft Pick, NHL. (MBA, M.Eng., B.sc.)

The Athlete Career Transition Network

athletes want connection

Connect with our Program Ambassadors. As you develop your transition plan, connecting with industry professionals will be one of your most impactful undertakings. We have curated a private network of former pro and high performance athletes who are now successful professionals in various industries willing to share their time and wisdom with our athletes.

how it works

Our curated network is founded on trust and respect. Our ambassadors welcome you to contact them approximately 1x/ quarter. While geographic location has never been less of a barrier, our interactive Google Map will show you there might be an ambassador in your own backyard. Your responsibility is simple. Be respectful of their time and privacy. Someone might just change your life. 

help us grow the network

If you know a highly successful transitioned athlete who would be a great program ambassador adding value to this group of great people, please make a connection for us. We protect this network for you. It is said we become the 5 people we hang out with the most. Your network shapes who you become. We want our athletes to meet great humans who may alter the course of your life.
