The biggest takeaway I’ve gotten from PAC is the power of defining exactly what you want to do and why. It’s about your core values – the things that get you out of bed each morning, that ignite a fire inside you to pursue your goals. For any former player considering PAC, I’d say this community has transformed my life – not just in business, but in every part of who I am. PAC has shaped me as a man, as a father, and given me a circle of people who pour into me and push me to be my best self every single day.

Performance Coaching
At PAC, we believe that each individual is far more than their athletic accomplishments. Our philosophy is rooted in supporting the person behind the athlete—valuing their unique journey, challenges, and aspirations beyond the game. Through our Performance Coaching Program, we offer targeted support that helps our members build a strong foundation of self-awareness, self-regulation, and personal responsibility.
Our PAC Performance Coaches work closely with our members, both in person at our signature PAC events and virtually to cultivate these critical skills, empowering them to excel not only in sports but in any endeavor they choose to pursue. By nurturing the whole person, we equip our members with the mindset and resilience to navigate every phase of life with confidence and purpose.
PAC was incredibly impactful for me. I anticipated top-notch business professionals and collaboration with former teammates and NFL peers, but the focus on mental health and internal work was a pleasant surprise. The combination of personal growth and business development was extremely valuable and will likely benefit others who take the program as well.
