About After We Play

Who We Are

After We Play is dedicated to guiding former athletes through one of life’s biggest transitions — the shift from competitive sports to their next chapter. Too often, athletes leave the game without a clear plan, facing challenges with career direction, identity, and mental health.

We exist to fill that gap by providing programs, tools, and a supportive community that empower athletes to rediscover their purpose, rebuild confidence, and thrive well beyond the scoreboard.

Our Mission

To equip athletes with clarity, confidence, and direction for life after sports.

We believe that leaving the game isn’t the end — it’s the start of a lifelong journey of growth, impact, and purpose.

Our Vision

A world where every athlete transitions from sport into life with resilience, identity, and a renewed drive to succeed — in their careers, families, and communities.

Our Founder & Managing Director

Scott Roussell

Scott knows firsthand the struggles athletes face when their competitive careers end. His own post-sports transition inspired him to launch After We Play, transforming personal challenges into a platform that now serves athletes across the country.

As Managing Director, Scott leads with empathy and expertise, drawing on his background as both a competitor and a leader. He works closely with universities, sports organizations, and professional leagues to deliver programs that protect athlete wellbeing, foster leadership, and prepare players for lifelong success.

Why It Matters

- Over 70% of athletes struggle to define their path after leaving sports.

- Without support, many face anxiety, depression, or a loss of purpose.

- After We Play is a proactive solution: a structured system to ensure every athlete has the tools to succeed — not just during their career, but long after.
