About After We Play

Guiding athletes through one of life's biggest transitions, and the complete life that follows it.

Athletes need support beyond the game.

Athletes are navigating more pressure, expectations and change than ever, often without the tools or support they need. Over time, that pressure can affect confidence, relationships, decision-making and mental well-being; and take away the joy that initially brought them to the game.

Every transition, from youth sports through college and beyond, can challenge an athlete's sense of identity and belonging. And when athletes struggle, the impact reaches their families, teams, schools and communities. After We Play fills the gap by supporting the person behind the performance; while they're still playing and long after the final whistle.

Too often, athletes leave the game without a clear plan.

After We Play was created to help athletes, and the people who support them, navigate transitions in sport and in life. We provide a trusted community, and practical resources and tools that help athletes understand who they are beyond their performance. Through every transition, we help athletes build greater confidence and resilience while preparing for a meaningful life beyond sports.

Our Mission

To help athletes compete with freedom and confidence, and carry that same freedom and confidence into every chapter that follows.

We believe that leaving the game isn't the end. It's the beginning of a lifelong journey of growth, impact and purpose.

Our Vision

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