Welcome to the

Beyond the Game Alliance


We empower athletes to thrive beyond the game, breaking free from limitations and embracing their full potential.

Beyond The Game Alliance is a non-profit organization that empowers student-athletes
to thrive beyond their sports careers by providing resources, education, practical skills and community for personal growth, career development, and holistic well-being.

We are dedicated to student-athletes who don't just want to play at the top of their game in sport, but also in life beyond the game.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to provide a holistic educational experience where athletes get access to education, practical life-skills and accessibility to alternative services, care & coaching in the critical transition from sports to career.

Our Vision


Our vision is to create a world where every athlete feels confident and is equipped with the skills, knowledge, and support to thrive in their personal and professional lives after retiring from their sports careers.

Our Program Cornerstones

Education & Coaching

All students are able to join our Beyond the Game 8-Week Course. Students will learn strategies for maintaining mental & physical fitness, they will identify transferable skills developed through sports, enhance personal branding and network abilities and build a supportive community of peers who are right there with them.

Community & Connection

Community is a catalyst for great change and success. "We are who we surround ourselves with", holds true. When athletes' stop playing sports, many feel isolated and removed from a community of like-minded. We believe there is power in becoming community-creators and this is a key cornerstone we facilitate and help create.

Practical Life

Skills

There are key skills that set athletes up for future success. Academic skills are integral, but so are practical life skills. These skills aren't necessarily taught, but assumed. However, graduates are feeling less and less prepared for what is next. From career to life, the Alliance bridges the gap in practical skill application and support for students.

Alternative & Integrative Support

Coaching & Alternative/Integrative Services offer a layer of support that is critical in the transition from sports career to professional career. The Alliance gives all students access to small group coaching and the awareness around other vetted services & methods that they can leverage to grow, create and succeed.
