The program offered on Athletes for Life is designed for athletes transitioning from their athletic career to a new chapter in life.The program is built around a proven process of daily conditioning and accountability, proactively guiding participants through four necessary phases, which will make the difference in taking your next chapter to the next level.

Athletes for Life is an Australian organisation created by former professional athletes and wellbeing experts. It is dedicated to supporting professional athletes in any stage of their career and all individuals who combat the challenges faced when transitioning from sport and their athletic identity.

The incentive to complete the program is what you will gain personally through the process. You will develop and reinforce positive habits and gain an awareness of the beliefs, habits, and patterns that are currently preventing you from expanding into a new identity and making the most of your next chapter. You will also design the specific new beliefs, habits, and patterns that will lead to maximising your fullest potential again and again. You will learn simple and effective tools to help you harness the power of your internal world as you make your mark on the outer world. You will learn communication and influence tools, and the psychology behind those tools to uplevel your life.

Successful completion of the program means you’ve accomplished two aspects required for building new habits: commitment and consistency. First, you’ve completed your daily program content at least 80% on-time or better starting from the day the program begins to the day it ends (the extended access and grace period does not count for this). Second, you’ve completed 100% of the program content.

Each day you will complete and save your activities until it shows 100% complete on the screen.

You will spend an average of fifteen to thirty minutes watching short coaching videos and completing tasks that guide you to focus on, write about, and take action toward your goals. You may find that you want to spend more time on the material, which is great.
