Pro Athlete Community

The growth engine

PAC builds and scales the community, coaching, and education programs.

PAC CARES

The access engine

PAC CARES ensures access is never limited by an athlete's ability to pay, the sport they played, or how their sports career ended.

Together, both independent entities exist so that no athlete has to navigate their next chapter alone because they couldn't afford to be in the room.

PAC CARES is a fiscally sponsored charitable program, with independent fiduciary oversight.

PAC CARES  MISSION

Ensure athletes worldwide have the Connection, Access, Resources, Education, and Support they need to thrive.

OUR VISION

A world where every professional athlete, regardless of affluence, sport, league, or how their career ends, has a community and the resources to build a meaningful life beyond competition.

Why this work matters

A large community with unmet needs. 

770,000+

Athletes Worldwide

Current and former professional athletes worldwide lack the support, community, and resources they need once their competing days are done.

Financial Hardship

Research on retired athletes has found bankruptcy rates far above the national average within just over a decade of retirement. Financial literacy during one’s playing career is not the only answer. Ongoing support, resources and access to opportunities are what a large number of athletes need following their playing careers

Built for decades, not one-off moments

The transition out of competition is often sudden, public, and identity-altering. Yet the infrastructure built around it (agents, leagues, unions) is largely designed for the years an athlete is playing, not the decades after. PAC is the locker room for the future. A trusted community focused on providing resources, support and access for life beyond support.
