Athlete Transition Services
Preparing Athletes for Life After Sports
Our Mission
To provide athletes from youth sports to professionals with holistic growth and development opportunities to ensure success beyond the sport. Through research-based programming and services, we prioritize the person over the player to promote personal fulfillment and achievement.
Our method includes three pillars of holistic athlete development:
Personal Development
Professional Development
Mental Health Support
We proactively prepare athletes for life after sports with these foundational pillars. Our framework leads to accomplishments in the present and a growth mindset that offers sustainable success into the future.
Our Services
Our workshops, events, and counseling empower athletes to take charge of their transition into the next chapter of their lives. Developed by a collaborative team of athletes with first-hand experience and subject matter experts, our participants gain valuable insights and practical resources to help them conquer challenges and unlock endless possibilities. Plus, you’ll connect with like-minded athletes and gain a community of supporters.

Our Founder
Jonathan Orr
Founder and Executive Director
Former Professional Football Player, Author of Game's Over Life's Not: The Athlete's Guide For Transitioning
After a successful college career at the University of Wisconsin and two NFL seasons with the Tennessee Titans and Oakland Raiders, Orr experienced a difficult transition into life after sports. That challenging season of his life inspired the 2014 creation of Athlete Transition Services (ATS). Orr is committed to helping every athlete proactively prepare for life after sports. His purpose is to make the transition manageable (and even exciting) for all those who come after him.
