Athletes’ Soul and The Players Impact Join Forces to Empower Athletes Beyond the Field

Athletes’ Soul and The Players Impact Foundation (TPIF) proudly announce a groundbreaking partnership that will create transformative educational, professional, and financial opportunities for athletes as they transition from their athletic careers to their next professional ventures. This collaboration is designed to empower athletes by delivering comprehensive business and investment education, fostering community impact, and providing experiential learning opportunities, and leveraging the services of Athletes Soul to support their personal and professional development.

Through this partnership, Athletes’ Soul members will gain access to TPIF’s extensive resources, including the digital platform where athletes can connect with each other, access exclusive content, and secure mentorship or internship opportunities with start-up and investment companies. Athletes will benefit from both virtual and in-person learning experiences designed to enhance business acumen and investment literacy, all led by seasoned industry experts.

Through this partnership, TPI members will gain exclusive access to Athletes Soul’s services, including its group coaching program designed to enhance performance mindset, emotional intelligence, identity exploration and development, and provide valuable personal development tools.

Highlights of the Partnership Include:

• Education and Mentorship: Athletes will engage in virtual and in-person learning opportunities hosted by TPIF and Athletes’ Soul, covering topics like entrepreneurship, financial planning, and venture investing. Webinars, case studies, and live discussions will provide athletes with practical insights to confidently navigate new business landscapes.
• Experiential Learning: TPIF’s mini-internship and mentorship programs will allow athletes to gain hands-on experience with investor and start-up companies, offering practical knowledge to build successful careers post-athletics.
• Community Impact: Recognizing the importance of giving back, TPIF and Athletes’ Soul will honor athletes for their philanthropic efforts and contributions to community betterment. A portion of TPIF’s investment proceeds will fund initiatives that support and expand this community impact.
• Connection to Opportunities: Athletes will be invited to participate in TPIF’s exclusive events and experiences, including pitch competitions and panels, providing a platform to network with peers, investors, and business leaders.

“This partnership with Athletes’ Soul aligns with TPIF’s commitment to prioritizing athletes’ holistic success beyond their sports careers,” said Tracy Deforge, Founder & CEO of The Players Impact. “By equipping athletes with essential business and financial education, we are supporting their evolution as influential leaders in diverse industries.”

“This partnership is a natural fit for Athletes Soul. Our organizations share a common mission and serve the same audience, yet we offer complementary services. By joining forces, we can provide athletes with integrated solutions while supporting each other’s growth and success.” said Myriam Glez, Co-founder of Athletes Soul. “We look forward to increasing our impact with TPI”.

Scheduled programming will begin in early 2025, with athletes automatically enrolled as opt-out members of TPIF to seamlessly access educational content, professional development opportunities, and events.
