A BEYOND CODE COLLECTIVE ANCHOR PROGRAM
FROM SPORTS
TO TECH
After The Game is a national, cohort-based workforce program for transitioning professional and NCAA student-athletes. It is explicitly designed for those who are not long-term earners and need structured support to design and enter a second career. This structured program bridges the “digital skill divide” with technical leaders teaching live classes and building curricula, and a community providing wraparound support that covers everything from corporate readiness to job placement.

Less than 2 percent of NCAA student-athletes go on to play professionally, and for those who do, the clock is already ticking. NFL careers last an average of 3–5 years; NBA careers, 4.5 years; and MLB, 5 years. When it comes to deciding what’s next, most athletes are left to figure it out alone.
This is not because they lack discipline, motivation or drive. What they lack is a bridge: the knowledge, context, and guidance to translate their skills into the next career they want.

THE PROGRAM
THIS IS WHERE
AFTER THE GAME COMES IN
Early, advisory coaching to clarify direction
A shared workforce and digital foundations core
Interest-aligned technical specialization
Wraparound support to sustain participation
Employer-connected placement, including sports-adjacent roles
A PARTICIPANT-LED CLASSROOM MODEL
FACILITATORS,
NOT LECTURERS
After The Game uses a “flipped-classroom” model using peer-based milestones and hands-on coding labs that respect the athlete’s learning style: facilitators over lecturers and team-based competition. Participants are selected based on proven motivation to build a durable post-sports career, demonstrated through a pre-program interview and selection process.
THE CURRICULUM
6–9 MONTHS.
PART-TIME. FULL IMPACT.
After The Game is a part-time, 6–9 month program that begins with a skills assessment to determine what technical path is best aligned to the individual to ensure higher likelihood of completion and satisfaction. The curriculum goes beyond technical training, integrating wraparound programming such as workplace fundamentals to support productivity tools literacy (e.g. Zoom, Slack, AI fundamentals), professional communication, financial literacy, and mental health support to navigate the psychological identity shift from “Elite Athlete” to “Tech Innovator.”
THE ECOSYSTEM
A TWO-SIDED
VALUE LOOP
We’re building a two-sided ecosystem, a value loop that delivers workforce-ready talent to employers while providing athletes with a clear roadmap to high-trajectory careers: upon completion of the program, participants will be placed in paid externships and apprenticeships with partner employers for 3–6 months.
