5 Years after playing in the NFL, I had no purpose as I had no identity outside of football. Kaleb and his team at Next Chapter U helped me identify my weaknesses, develop my core values and build the second identity I was looking for. For athletes in all arenas looking for purpose, Next Chapter U and Kaleb Thornhill have a winning recipe. Invest in the next 3 months of your life to live the next 30 years with 
I've done every type of career workshop the NFL/NFLPA had, so I was skeptical on how it would help me because I already had a Masters Degree and a solid job. The difference [with this program] is the depth and specificity in attacking the areas of your life that need improvement. My favorite part was the financial area where I had to really dig into my finances and figure out my previous mistakes and strategies to improve going forward. I'm proud to be part of the first class of Next Chapter U and I would recommend it to any former player. It will change your life and put you and your family in a great position for the 
I went through the Next Chapter U program at a time when I didn’t have any direction. Next Chapter U helped me dive into myself and discover things about myself that would eventually bring a sense of direction back in my life. My advice to anyone joining Next Chapter U would be to come prepared to leave as a better man. Trust the process and be present and focused throughout the duration of the program—it will be one of the most important experiences of your 
Attending Next Chapter U helped me build relationships, stay organized in my life, become a better leader and be more productive in my life. When I arrived, they welcomed me in a professional way and provided a first class service. As I left, they continued to serve and communicate with me to make sure that the things I learned were continually executed in my daily life. This service Kaleb and his team delivered to me has allowed me to thrive in my personal and business endeavors and I am forever 
PAC created a safe space where former players could work on themselves from the inside out. We connected with other players, giving us that “locker room” feel that we desire and the experience-based in person learning environment translated well into virtual learning sessions. The virtual sessions were insightful for me individually and helped strengthen us as a group. The best thing about the program was the network of people who came together to pour their expertise into us and their willingness to do
The Next Chapter U Business Combine has been the best experience in my life post-college. I’ve never had anything have me so excited and ready to attack my life after football. I’ve always known I would succeed in business and entrepreneurship after football. I had that confidence. But there wasn’t always any clear direction of where to go or how do it and what steps are the right ones to take first. After the business combine, I knew exactly what needed to be done, what areas to improve on, and gained skills to help me
I didn’t know what to expect but after these 3 months, I have gained clarity on this next chapter of life. I’ve gained resources, knowledge and confidence to put towards next steps. Being with the PAC community brought back that locker room that we all have been missing. This will catapult me to the next
I initially came in wanting to raise my business acumen in entrepreneurship and real estate. I got much more out of the PAC experience and was able to connect with former teammates along with great business mentors and life coaches. Being a part of the Pro Athlete Community changed my perspective and I am better for taking this leap of
