Athlete Connect is a Non-Pofit built by former student athletes. Athlete Connect believes through internships and mentoring, we can aid the transition. When the student athlete’s collegiate athletic career comes to a close, the transition from student athlete to public or private sector employment is often difficult and perplexing. Our former collegiate athletes find themselves very well equipped with the knowledge and experiences of the principles of leadership, discipline, selflessness, teamwork and perseverance, but the rules of the game have changed.
