After We Play exists because every athlete trains for the physical game, but few are taught how to navigate the Invisible Game™. We use technology, expert-led education, and community to help athletes, parents, coaches, and sports organizations build resilience, strengthen well-being, and excel in life through the challenge of sport.

We believe life's greatest victories come from finding strength in one another.

A word from Scott Roussell, Founder ·

Every athlete has two games to play.

The visible game. And the invisible one.

One is played in competition. The other is played in the mind. In relationships. In adversity. In identity. Before the game. After the game. Through every transition. Long after the season ends.

The invisible game is the one that lasts a lifetime.

The Invisible Game™

The greatest game isn't on the scoreboard. It's the one that develops confidence, resilience, leadership and character, so athletes can thrive long after the final buzzer.
