About Us

Hey! I’m Taylor, and I’m so glad you’re here!

Leaving the soccer world and moving to a new city after college was a hard transition to say the least–I missed the game day pump up texts, the long bus rides filled with the latest spotify hits and group laughter, and even the dreaded early morning practices when the rest of campus was fast asleep.

I started AthletEX because I’ve met and played with athletes all over the world and heard the same stories - no matter what country or sport. It was clear that when athletes move on to the next chapter, hang up the cleats, enjoy their last team dinner… What hits the hardest is losing your identity and your community.

A few months living the “retired athlete” life, I quickly discovered that in the real world, you look around, and find that the same bond of teammates doesn’t really exist. Whether I was at work, grabbing a drink with friends, or planning ski trips, I found myself naturally drawn to athletes– because of their personal drive to grow, learn, and embrace a life filled with purpose. This energy brought together diverse people with common aspirations, and helped me form a vibrant and uplifting community in the multiple cities I lived. I wanted more people to enjoy this type of environment when they no longer are gathering for game-day.

So AthletEX was born & together we are cultivating an empowering community to find your purpose & people after sports. AthletEX was built for people who know what makes a good teammate on and off the field, who are willing to put in the work to achieve each goal, and who are built on ambition - striving for new ways to better themselves and impact those around them. So if this sounds like you, we need you on our team!
