Become a Mentor

Help Athletes Navigate Life After Sports

Tennis Player Focus

Being a mentor means sharing your experience to help athletes prepare for what comes next — whether that’s transitioning from high school to college, college to professional sports or the workforce, or adjusting to life after retirement.

You don’t need to have all the answers.
You just need to be willing to show up, listen, and share what you’ve learned.

What Mentors Do

As a mentor, you may:

  • Talk with athletes one-on-one or in small groups

  • Share real experiences from your own transition

  • Offer guidance on identity, mindset, and next steps

  • Support athletes as they navigate change and uncertainty

 

Mentorship is flexible and designed to respect your time.

Who Mentors Support

Mentors work with athletes at key transition points, including:

  • High school athletes preparing for college

  • College athletes planning for life after graduation

  • Professional athletes preparing for retirement

  • Recently retired athletes adjusting to life after sport

 

Your perspective can help athletes feel more confident and less alone during these moments.

Why Become a Mentor

Mentoring is a chance to:

  • Give back to the athlete community

  • Stay connected to the next generation

  • Turn your lived experience into meaningful impact

  • Help athletes avoid common challenges you’ve already faced

 

Your experience matters — and it can make a real difference.
