  • Learn from Sammy, former pro basketball player

    We interviewed Sammy Girma, a former national team 3x3 player for France. Sammy is a perfect example of academic creativity and persistence: he worked with the education system to design his own path while pursuing a full-time professional basketball career. When the system doesn’t exist yet, you go on and create it.

“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.”

— Scott Lacy (Biathlon, American)

Hear from our members

  • "Working with my Executive Coach, through Athletes Soul, has shown me the resources and tools that I need to excel outside of my sport discipline and into my career path. A blueprint that has positive results to get tailored into a career path I am interested in, much like a game plan before competing in sports."

    Andrew Mackiewicz, OLY (Fencing, American)

  • “Being part of Athletes Soul has helped me better learn who I am as a person and network with amazing current and retired athletes. I was lucky enough to be part of the athletes outreach program and eventually reached out to athletes that would partner with our organization.”

    Meghan Burton (Swimming, American)

  • “I had a mentor, who was a great guy and someone to talk to and learn from. On one level it forces your to look at that thing which is what's gonna happen after sport rather than just having your head in the sand.”

    Nic Stirzacker (Rugby, Australian)

  • "I loved how our coach was able to incorporate techniques such as meditation, body awareness, and self-reflection. 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"

    Nikita Uberoi (Tennis, American)

  • “When you find out that there's just so many people in the exact same position as you, and knowing that there is a big community out there of people that have been through similar experiences, different experiences, and can help you to understand your own journey a little bit better. That was something that really, really helped”

    Tiffany Zahorski, OLY (Ice Skating, French-British-Russian)

Join the movement for social change in sports!

We need sporting organizations, coaches, and athletes across the world to talk about the benefits of continuing to develop yourself beyond sports. We need to normalize the conversation around personal development and athletic retirement to support not only athletes, but also their first circle - their family and friends.

It takes all of us to create this change for athletes to keep the positive values of sports for life.
