ELITE ATHLETES
We come from countless sports teams and individuals across every continent, including
NHL, WNBA, NBA, MLB, NFL, CFL, PGA, MLS, & multiple Olympic, Paralympic, & national team sports. We are Stanley & MLS Cup Winners, Super Bowl & Tour Champions, Hall of Famers & Gold Medalists.
We are pioneer builders of first-of-its-kind programs for both active and former athletes and the players’ stakeholders at the National Hockey League (NHL), NHL Players’ and Alumni Associations, National Football League (NFL), Major League Soccer Players Association (MLSPA), & Women’s National Basketball Players’ Association (WNBPA). The latter two have funded their Executive Board Members’ and Player Representatives’ program participation.
Our programming is for athletes and built by athletes. With direct and candid contributions, transparent feedback from players and their stakeholders, and leveraging exclusive access to professional player surveys, in addition to two decades of unique experiences in this niche market, we stand alone.
CORPORATE ATHLETES
Champions in their own right, our executive community serves as quarterbacks in the C-suite for Fortune organizations globally; others are start-up entrepreneurs and philanthropists. With a broad range of experiences and expertise from a myriad of industries—from banking to consulting firms and high-tech to the sports and entertainment sectors and other groundbreaking businesses and sectors—they know what it takes to win.
Our ‘corporate athletes’ work in unison with our team of former elite and professional athletes; all are all-stars making an impact in the ‘game’ they now play while proactively preparing for what’s next, achieving the next dream, thus ensuring lifelong passion, prosperity, and purpose.
