Shift Group helps former athletes find meaningful careers that match their mindset and strengths.
For years, your schedule, identity, and purpose were built around your sport. But what happens when the game ends? The good news: the traits that made you successful in athletics are exactly what companies are looking for. You just need the right training, strategy, and team around you.
That’s where Shift Group comes in.
You’re More Qualified Than You Think
Most former athletes underestimate how valuable their background really is. Coachability, resilience, competitiveness, and consistency under pressure- these aren’t soft skills. They’re core to success in high-performing business environments.
At Shift Group, we help you map those traits to real-world roles, such as business development, operations, finance, and more.
No catch, just clear connections between who you are and what elite companies need.
Career Training Designed for Athletes
You don’t need another motivational speaker. You need reps, feedback, and a framework for success. Our training is built specifically for athletes transitioning into the workforce. It covers:
- Real business fundamentals (not theory)
- Role-specific skills and simulations
- How to pitch yourself with confidence
- How to succeed in interviews and in the first 90 days
This isn’t just about landing a job. It’s about knowing what you’re walking into and being prepared to compete.
Companies That Want to hire Athletes
We work with hundreds of fast-growing companies that actively seek out talent with your background. These aren’t courtesy interviews or long shots, these are real opportunities in high-impact roles across departments like sales, operations, strategy, and more.
Our partners value the discipline, grit, and adaptability that athletes and veterans bring to the table. They’re not just open to hiring people like you, they’re looking for it. And when you show up prepared, you won’t just get the job. You’ll thrive in it.
A Better Transition, With a Real Team
Making the leap to the business world is hard, but you don’t have to do it alone. At Shift Group, we’ve built the best career transition experience for former athletes, period. You’ll get:
- A coach and personal training
- Real accountability and support
- A path that’s tailored to you, not a one-size-fits-all resume template
Whether you’re just starting to think about life after sports or already job hunting, Shift Group is built to get you there, with confidence.
Careers for former athletes aren’t about settling. They’re about winning in a new arena.
