PAC was electric. There was a buzz I hadn’t felt in a long time. Being around like-minded athletes who have been in the arena, who lead with vulnerability and purpose—that’s powerful. The focus on lifelong learning, the high-level conversations about branding, real estate, and investing… it lit a fire in me. You walk out of there with not just knowledge, but real relationships and a renewed sense of what’s possible.

Off the field Success

life after baseball

Life after baseball has given Travis Snider something that the grind of pro sports often made hard to access—presence. As a husband and father, Travis now moves through life with a deeper sense of intention and gratitude. The whirlwind of trades, media pressure, and the constant chase of the next contract gave way to a new chapter: one where family, healing, and growth take center stage. Stepping away from the game wasn’t easy, but it opened the door for real connection—with himself and with the people who matter most. Travis now pours energy into being a grounded and available presence at home, the kind of role model that isn’t defined by stats but by consistency and care. His personal transformation has also shaped how he approaches his work—recognizing that the foundation of any strong team, on or off the field, starts with how we show up for our own.

3A Athletics

Born out of personal experience and a deep desire to change the game, 3A Athletics is Travis Snider’s answer to a youth sports system that too often overlooks the mental and emotional well-being of young athletes. After spending over a decade in pro baseball—and wrestling with anxiety, burnout, and the pressure to constantly perform—Travis realized that what kids really need isn’t just better training, but better support. 3A stands for Awareness, Activate, Achieve, and the mission is clear: to equip athletes, parents, and coaches with the tools to navigate the psychological demands of sports. The company provides workshops, digital resources, and coaching programs that foster healthy dialogue and reshape the culture from the inside out. Travis works side by side with his partner Seth Taylor to lead this movement, offering perspective that comes not only from study—but from lived experience. At its core, 3A Athletics is about healing, education, and redefining what success looks like in youth sports.

every kid sports

In addition to founding 3A Athletics, Travis recently joined the board of Every Kid Sports, a nonprofit dedicated to making youth athletics more accessible for all families. The mission is simple but vital: no child should be kept off the field because of cost. The organization provides funding to cover registration fees and essential equipment, helping level the playing field for kids across the country. For Travis, this work is deeply personal. He understands how transformative sports can be—offering not just physical activity, but structure, mentorship, and community. Through his role with Every Kid Sports, he’s working to eliminate the financial barriers that prevent many families from giving their children the same opportunities that shaped his life. Whether it’s advocating for equitable access, helping guide strategy, or lending his voice to raise awareness, Travis is committed to making sure every kid has the chance to play—and thrive.
