You do not need to be a journalist.
You do not need to be a professional writer or content creator.
And you do not need to have everything figured out.
Lord knows the founder does not.
What matters is that you are a former student athlete willing to be honest about what life looked like after leaving your sport.
What You Can Write About
There is no limit to what or how often you can contribute.
You can write one article or many.
You can be a one-time contributor or an ongoing blogger.
You can submit new content or copy and paste articles or blogs you have already written in the past.
Some ideas include:
- Your transition out of sports and what surprised you most
- The career or business you are in today
- Financial, professional, or personal lessons learned after athletics
- Challenges, setbacks, and wins along the way
- How former student athletes can get involved, find opportunity, or build momentum after sports
If you have lived it, someone else can learn from it.

Every article on this platform helps another former student athlete feel less alone.
Your story might be the one that:
