Our Mission:
At Locker Room 2 Boardroom, our mission is simple: to ensure no athlete faces the transition to life after sports alone. We’re here to turn uncertainty into opportunity by fostering a strong, driven community where former athletes can lean on each other, learn from each other, and launch fulfilling careers.
Why We Exist:
The end of an athletic career often marks the beginning of an identity crisis. We know because we’ve lived it. When the cheers fade and the structure of competition disappears, many athletes are left wondering what’s next. Locker Room 2 Boardroom exists to fill that gap—with mentorship, professional guidance, real-life stories, and access to opportunities that align with athletes’ skills, work ethic, and leadership potential.
What We Offer:
- Peer-Led Support: Connect with others who’ve been in your shoes.
- Career Resources: From resume building to job placements and career coaching.
- Networking Events: Forge connections that open doors beyond the field or court.
- Workshops & Webinars: Learn from former athletes and industry leaders who’ve made the leap.
- Community: A trusted space to be real, stay inspired, and move forward.
Who We Serve:
Whether you’ve recently hung up your jersey or it’s been years since you played competitively, Locker Room 2 Boardroom welcomes athletes from all backgrounds and sports. If you’re ready to invest in your next chapter, you’re in the right place.
