The Athlete.

As an athlete have you thought about what might be next after sport?

At Strive Sport, we are dedicated to supporting athletes mentally and emotionally as they navigate life beyond their sporting careers. We understand that athletes, in their pursuit of excellence, often develop tunnel vision, focusing solely on their goals. Their identity becomes tied to their achievements, and when that pursuit ends, they can feel lost, unsure of their place in society. Strive Sport steps in to help athletes discover their next goals—whether it's finding a fulfilling career, pursuing further education, or developing new passions—and guiding them toward success.

Thanks to advancements in sports science, athletes are enjoying longer careers, often retiring from sport at age 35 or older. However, by this stage, many are no longer part of the family unit’s support system and face uncertainty about their next steps. Strive Sport ensures that before athletes retire, they are equipped with the life skills they need to transition smoothly into the next phase of their lives.

Our vision is to shift the culture of sport in Australia by encouraging clubs, coaches, and athletes to dedicate time to developing life skills alongside their training. Whether it's completing a university degree, pursuing a TAFE certificate, or exploring career options, Strive Sport wants athletes to be prepared for life after sport.

We recognize that athletes often feel pressured to devote all their time to their sport, leaving little room for anything else, and those who do have time may lack guidance in identifying their passions. That's why Strive Sport is committed to helping athletes balance their sporting commitments with personal growth and development.

Sport is a vital part of Australian society, and it’s crucial that we care for our athletes beyond the playing field. Strive Sport is leading the way in demonstrating how clubs, coaches, and athletes can achieve success both on and off the field.

Discover how Strive Sport can support you in achieving success beyond sport, and help you thrive in every aspect of life.
