Helping collegiate student-athletes tackle challenges
Including life after collegiate sport
Our Mission is to help collegiate student-athletes prepare for sport challenges, including retirement from collegiate sport
We do this by providing actionable tools to improve your coping skills, foster resilience, and center your values throughout all of your challenges in sport, including the toughest challenge of them all—the adjusting to retirement from collegiate sport.
This effort is associated with North Dakota’s State Suicide Prevention Program, funded by the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Behavioral Health Division (BHD).
“This isn’t like any other good-bye you’ll ever say. People who never played can’t understand it. This isn’t something you just turn off. It’s not like closing a door.”
Tommy McDonald, NFL Hall of Fame Class of 1998
